Wedding Guest 101

June 21st, 2006 @ 12:42 pm by Mrs. Bee

Because wedding season is upon us, I thought this would be a good time to discuss how to be a great wedding guest. When you’re invited to a wedding, the couple has asked you to be part of a day they’ve put so much time, love, and effort into planning. Observing some basic wedding guest etiquette can make the big day just a little bit easier for the bride and groom.

1) RSVP. The bride and groom are usually paying per person (often hundreds of dollars) so they need to have an accurate headcount of all guests. If your plans change and you can no longer attend, or have RSVP’d for a guest who can no longer attend, notify the couple.

2) Send gifts to the couple’s home. This way the couple doesn’t have to worry about collecting, watching, losing, cards separating and taking gifts home on an already hectic day.

3) Don’t bring anyone who is not named on the invitation. Do not bring a date or children that are not specifically named on the invitation, and do not write in names on the RSVP card. The couple has put a lot of thought into who they’re inviting, they’re paying per person, and have probably created seating arrangements for each individual guest.

4) Show up on time. This seems like a no-brainer, but I don’t think I’ve ever attended a wedding that started on the actual time indicated on the invitation, due to late guest arrivals. A wedding is a carefully orchestrated once-in-a-lifetime event… so please be on time.

Now that you’re a great guest, it’s time to enjoy the celebration and share the day with the happy couple. Wedding Guest 101 :  wedding Laughing1 laughing1.gif

Alia Designs

June 21st, 2006 @ 11:49 am by Mrs. Bee

Alia Designs came about when two sisters struggled to find the perfect invitation for the first wedding in their family. They decided to create their own invitations, drawing inspiration from bygone royals who sent out beautiful silk and jewel adorned invitations to express the importance of the guest.

The result? Alia Designs uses real pearls, Asian silks, French linens, hand embroidery, and intricate beadwork to create luxurious invitations fit for royalty.

Our First Wedding Present

June 21st, 2006 @ 11:07 am by Mrs. Spider

I’ve been working late a lot more recently and usually I come home pretty tired and cranky. Last night I came home and Mr. Spider told me we got our first wedding present. WoHOoHooo~!! One of our groomsmen, Wes, sent us a gift from Houston. I had a good feeling about what it was going to be since Wes called Mr. Spider from Disney World last week:

Awww, they are bobble heads with magnetic noses that “kiss!” Thanks Wesley, we heart you!

What did you get as your first wedding present?

Tuesdays with Keiko

June 20th, 2006 @ 7:34 pm by Mrs. Caterpillar

For all my ability to draw straight lines and weave baskets, I do not have the manual dexterity necessary to polish my own nails. Even clear polish somehow ends up way way outside the lines, and I end up looking like the crazy sister in What Ever Happened to Baby Jane.

That is why I love Keiko. (And clearly, I love all of you if I’m actually sharing her contact information with you.) She is the world’s finest manicurist. I swear to god she makes my nails look like the nails in magazines. After a session with her, I have an absolutely perfect manicure — streak/bubble/line-free polish with nary a hangnail. You would never know that I (constantly) bite my cuticles. (Yes, very gross, I know.)

Keiko works at the East Village Branch of Jin Soon. She’s usually there, but she’s easiest to catch on Tuesday afternoons.

The Sponsored Wedding

June 20th, 2006 @ 6:17 pm by Mrs. Bee

Sponsored weddings have really started to gain popularity in recent years, where vendors provide free or discounted services in exchange for ads in the couples’ wedding invitations, programs, placecards, etc.

The Sponsored Wedding :  wedding 092305weddingsponsor 092305weddingsponsor.gif

(image via azcentral)

As wedding costs climb higher and higher, things like sponsored weddings and website donations are bound to become more commonplace. One bride said that her sponsored wedding was twice the work of planning a regular wedding, but she had a grand affair and is now writing a book on how you can have a sponsored wedding of your very own.

Many people feel that sponsored weddings are tacky and detract from the experience of the wedding. Others think that it’s just another practical and creative way to help pay for the costly event.

What do you think about sponsored weddings?

Dear Weddingbee,

June 20th, 2006 @ 4:00 pm by Mrs. Bee

I was wondering if you’ve heard of married women buying fake diamond rings when they travel. I will be traveling overseas for 3 weeks and my sister-in-law suggested buying cubic zirconia rings to wear instead of wearing our real rings. This would alleviate any worry of losing our rings. Is this a common thing?

~~~

To tell you the truth, I’ve never known anyone who did that, but it’s certainly not a bad idea. If you’re really concerned about losing your rings or even being robbed, it may not be a bad idea to wear fake ones just so you have that peace of mind. You could always look into ring insurance as well, which would cover any loss or theft.

Have you worn a fake diamond in place of your real one before?
