In today’s hive:

  1. michelle diy’ed her unity candle with self-adhesive stickers but they fall off pretty easily. Do you know of a setting spray to make sure they don’t fall off?
  2. Mrs.Penguin is looking for wedding gift ideas for her best friend. It will most likely be a group gift from the wedding party. What’s the best wedding gift you’ve received or given?
  3. MSS is trying to get a feel for what kind of e-ring she’d like. She likes princess cut and white gold.. is that enough info? Do you have suggestions for non-jewelry store resources to browse for setting ideas? Thoughts on picking out your own ring?
  4. sp wantst to give the mothers nice lace handkerchiefs. Anyone know where to purchase them either online or in NY?
  5. Miss Poppy wants to know what you’re wearing to a bridal shower at someone’s home. One person says dress, another says jeans and she’s confused.

To add your question to the beehive, leave a comment below and we’ll update this post to include your question. See all past beehives here.

this is a random question but… what are you girls wearing to a bridal shower that’s held in someone’s home? one person tells me dress, one tells me jeans. i’m confused. :X

Miss Poppy–I’d never wear jeans to a bridal shower! Well, not unless it was apparent that the shower was going to be VERY casual. I usually wear a casual dress (a cotton wrap dress or something similar), or perhaps a cute skirt and nice top. When in doubt always dress up–it’s better to be overdressed than underdressed!

miss poppy: here’s the thing — there will be tons of pictures, so wear something nice. i hope the weather will be nice enough so that i can wear a dress.

3. MSS, check out pricescope.com. the “show me the ring” thread in the forums is a great place, there are links to quite a few reputable online and b&m stores on their vendor list as well. beware, though, it can be addictive.

5. Miss Poppy, my personal philosophy is that it’s always better to be overdressed than underdress (ok, it’s not *always* true, but usually works).

mrs. penguin, i’m planning on giving my best friend a digital picture frame. she didn’t register for one [because she says it's too expensive] but she’s mentioned how wanting one. i know she won’t spend the money on herself so i figured this would be the perfect personal gift to give. she’ll probably scold me for spending the money but whatever. lol.

Mrs. Penguin- If it is a group gift any of the bigger ticket items (Kitchen Aid, furniture, pots & pans, knives) would be great. I don’t think I will get those items, but maybe someone will surprise me.

Miss Poppy- I am wearing a dress. Even though it’s at someone’s house it’s still a special occasion and I want to look nice.

I have a question to the uber-helpful weddingbee readers! I am a wee 1/2″ shorter than my fiance….flat shoes are a must for my wedding. I’ve tried the bridal shoe designers but nothing caught my eye and I am stumped. Any suggestions for great, flat, formal shoes? I’m not afraid of a little embellishment on the shoes, either :)

I have a question on tipping. How much do you tip the photographer? Also, I’ll be getting my hair and make up done three times for engagement photo, formal photo, wedding shot etc. How much do you tip the make up artist and hairdresser? They quoted me $400 for three sessions.

I decided not to include my ceremony in my invitations because of the lack of seats and space I have. What is the best way of including the ceremony invitations to my close friends and family? Should I include a separate insert? Can someone suggest how I should word it? Thanks!

sp- I just ordered hankies for the moms from Monograms Inc.. Can’t vouch for the quality yet because I haven’t received them, but I went with them because wanted something that had plain edges and didn’t look like a doiley.

njbride07: try Target! I ordered 3 potential pairs of wedding shoe contenders there last week, and they have flats. Also, last I checked they were having free shipping on shoes purchased online (which is where most of their more bridal/special-occasion shoes are featured).
