Miss Mouse:
I’m in Canada too and my recommendation would be to try a candy speciality store like Candy Mountain. I’m not sure where you are but I’m in Vancouver and there are quite a few stores like that our here.
Or the other option is to get your candy sent to a PO box in the US and then drive across the border and pick it up and bring it across yourself. I’m not sure what US border you like near, but I can almost guarantee you that if you are near one, even a small one, that there is a mailbox rental place that you can have your stuff sent to. You’ll have to have your receipt with you that showed what you paid and you’ll probably pay GST on it but it will be much less expensive to do it that way than to pay the high shipping fees and duty/tax that you would pay when it makes it to your doorstep.
Nancy - You should put the time of the ceremony on your invites… most people know to arrive around a half hour early!
Hayley - I am using Arioso (Thanks Be To God) by Handel for my song and Jesu, Joy Of Man’s Desiring by JS Bach for the bridesmaids. Those are both beautiful songs!
Aliya-
Are you sure you’re even ALLOWED to have an aisle runner? As far as I know, most if not all Catholic churches don’t even allow it. And yes, the aisle runner is totally unnecessary.
5. EG - i have a rotary blade one from cutterbee but it’s not nearly as powerful as the guillotine one i had previously from any office supply store(i loved using that sucker). still i live in a tiny manhattan apt, and my cutterbee takes up very little space - it should be adequate for cutting invites. 
7. Nancy - We put 5:30 on our invitations because we wanted our wedding to start at 5:45 (sunset). Since our wedding was in Manhattan though, we didn’ t have to worry about people getting stuck in traffic or being too late. =) Some of your guests may get lost or stuck in traffic, or just be running late, so I think 30 minutes is a good buffer.
One tip - we served white wine and water to the people who arrived early so they wouldn’t be bored and could mingle.
4. B-I am using a tri-hanging votive CP from Michaels (craft store). There’s a pic in my blog if you look backward. Let me know if you need any more info about them.
Aliya-
I agree with jennifer above. I too am having a catholic ceremony and they said no runners. Plus, I too think its unnecessary. What if someone tripped, that wouldn’t be pretty. What if you tripped? Yikes!
Aliya - I think aisle runners are totally unnecessary! At every wedding I’ve been to - they always forget to put them out anyways. Lol.
EG - I would say to get the rotary. The guillitine is a lot more expensive and, in my opinion, you’re more like to make a mistake if the paper slides at all. With slick wedding paper, it can get tricky. JMO.
aliya - like a few of the other comments above, you should ask your church’s requirements. i’m getting married in a catholic church, and they had specified absolutely NO aisle runners… in addition to a lot of other things like candles (other than the unity candle), and petals on the ground…
Check out CB2 for hanging votives. They have some very nice ones and the only assembly required is to hang some wire from them. THey have two different varieties:

thanks for the suggestions guys!
wsukarebear - how much were the votives?
m - those hanging balls from cb2 are awesome! they’ve done some amazing things with those!
My cutter is the Fiskers Rotary Cutter- it’s an excellent investment and even better if you have 40% off craft store coupon. http://www.fiskarscrafts.com/tools/t_12-homeoffice-rotary-paper-trimmer.aspx
EG, I absolutely vote for guillotine cutters — I had two rotaries and the edge was ALWAYS slanted. I bought this xacto one for
You guys are awesome Thanks!
EG, I would recommend the 12″ paper cutter. You can get so much more mileage out of it. Mine is Fiskars, and I love it!
Hayley - I’m using Can’t Help Falling in Love with You for my processional. Just the instrumental version.
Tessa, do you mean vellum? If so, you can find it at practically any paper website. I like paperandmore.com myself.
