- Shaz wants to know if anyone knows how to achieve a silver or gold gilt edge on invitations, or where you purchase that kind of cardstock for printing.
- ciaobella wants to know what’s considered standard for tipping the photographer, DJ, or maitre’d?
- puredrivel wants to know if hotel welcome baskets are still hip and what she should include.
- Di wants to know if anyone has tried ebay invitations. Does this price look too good to be true?
- fishgal is looking for a good dj in the southern California area for around $1000 or less. She’s hoping to find a Christian one and is one month from her wedding.
- MMM is looking to order sparklers for her send off. Does anyone know the best length to buy and a good vendor?
- Miss. Kakerwhart is looking for suggestions on what type of paper to use in her invitations. She’s seen people use luxe, stardream, etc. Also can you recommend a paper cutter?

Shaz–get a silver or gold stamp pad and just run it along the edge of the card. You’ll want to look for pigment ink rather than dye ink (it’ll probably be prominent on the packaging), and give it more time than you think it’ll need to dry. The width of the effect depends on how hard you press the stamp pad on, and at what angle.
