JNS - use the “print screen” key on your keyboard (usually ctrl-print screen) to take a screenshot. Then, paste that image into any sort of graphics program, and crop away everything but the image! (You can even use word/powerpoint to do this)

Kelly, I’m decorating the pool at my venue with floating flowers and floating rose candles. I found both at Save-on-Crafts.com I will be selling my floating flowers after my June 2007 wedding if you are interested. christina.m.kim@gmail.com

Girl, if you are allowing all your single guest to being a +1, and you should extend the same courtesy to these two. Keep in mind that not all your guest will be able to come to your wedding, so if two people decline, then you will have room for their guests.

Girl-
How close are you to the couple who is separating? If you feel close enough to one or both of the “couple,” I would just be up front and explain the situation. Or, the other alternative is to send you invitations a little earlier to some that you are not sure will make it and hope for a declined RSVP? I know that’s a little tacky, but again, it depends on how close you are to the couple or how close they are to your other guests.

GG - another vote for MyPublisher.

How would I address a wedding invitation for a couple who have kids and live together but are not married? Do both names go on the outer envelope or just the name of the “friend” you are inviting on the outer envelope but with both their names on the inner envelope or do both names go on the outside as well?

Sorry, girl, but you really have to invite your newly single friends with guests. They may not bring one, but they will be insulted if they see other singles with guests and they didn’t get the opportunity to bring one. Newly divorced people are often very conscious of their status. It’s likely you’re going to have refusals, you’ll most likely be OK. Give them the courtesy, or it may come back to haunt you later.

Thanks guys. I am close with both people…I guess I just didn’t want the drama of having them there with their significant others. Especially since they just got seperated and he already has a girlfriend. I am thinking of extending them an invitation with a guest, but requesting that they bring someone platonic…like a friend or family member. That way, they aren’t the only two who know each other at the wedding (and don’t have to be uncomfortable either sitting together alone) but will hopefully cut down on any awkwardness of them trying to show each other up with their dates.

You can’t extend an invitation and tell them whom to bring. If the guy is already seeing someone, it would be ruder to tell him to leave her behind. You can’t control the situation; you need to give them room to choose to behave as adults. If they don’t respect one another’s feelings, that’s not your problem to fix.

Maricris: I’ve used http://www.myownlabels.com in the past & were very happy with the results. But I don’t know how their price compare against others.
