Kara if it’s a semi-formal wedding and your dad wants to wear a suit, why not just keep him happy and let him wear a suit? If you don’t really have strong feelings one way or the other I would definitely just let him decide for himself.

1. davis2b - I only used one envelope. When I designed my RSVP cards, for the yes portion, I put “____ of ____ will be attending” and filled in the number of guests invited in the second blank. (I got the idea from Mrs. Blueberry, I believe!)

davis2b - can’t you just address the invitation to “miss jane doe & guest”? that tells her she can bring a guest.

I addressed my outer envelopes with “& Guest,” even though I know it’s not technically correct. Plus, the RSVP card had “__ seats have been reserved” in case they didn’t notice.

Kara, I kind of wanted my dad to rent a tux to match the GM, but he wanted to wear a suit (which he already has) so I said fine. Possibly matching ties? I’m not sure yet.

bettina, i heard of some people being walked by both their step-fathers and fathers…they meet halfway and hand off. that could be an option too?

does anyone know of a printer that does custom thermography? by custom, i mean “i design it, give you an image file, you print it”. i’m looking into custom letterpress, but if it’s out of my pricerange, i’d still like something textured.

puredrivel — how about sending each guest a cheapy garter with an attached tag describing the event?

I have a question for the hive.

I (along with my jeweler) designed my custom engagement ring. In my admittedly biased opinion, its gorgeous and very unique. People comment on it all the time. The problem is, one of my friends called the other day and asked if she could show a photo of my ring to a friend of hers who wants to go custom as well. I said sure at the time, not really thinking about it. But now I am kind of upset by the idea of someone having the same (or very similar) ring. I can’t do anything about it now, of course. But am I a complete witch for very being upset by the idea?

davis2b - we only did outer envelope. for those without sig. others, i put a note in letting them know they were welcome to bring a guest. So far no one has. (Good for our wallets )

Kara- We’re not having an overly fancy wedding, but my dad really wanted to wear a tux. he said “how often do you have the occasion to dress up and wear a tux?” - if the dads wanted to wear suits I woulda been fine with that too though.
