Wedding Blog

kat - someone just posted pictures of a Delorean and a Christopher Lloyd/Dr-what’s his name lookalike. I thought it was on here…

Christine - I plan on having the FG and RG wear the same dress. They’re walking in together too.

Kat-
It was Mrs. Raspberry’s post on July 27th.

Christine, i’m using only girls at my wedding. They’re all wearing relatively the same thing regardless of what they’re carrying (rings, coins, bible, rosary, flowers). We had to get 2 slightly different dresses for the 2 flower girls because they didn’t have enough dresses of our first choice dress. But really, it’s not much of a difference at all.

Monica, i had a tough time finding those suckers too. But i finally found this vendor called worldselection on ebay and he was very quick and easy and very accomodating. if you need several, just email him which ones you need and he’ll give you a bulk rate for shipping (rather than bidding or buying each one separately on his ebay store).

here’s the link to one of the items: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300102201450&sspagename=ADME:L:RTQ:US:1

bettina - the official wording for something like that is really stilted and formal: “[people who issued invitation] regret that they are obliged to recall the invitation…” Your first move is probably to decide whether the location or the date is changing–or both–before you consider how you want to phrase it. How you let people know would depend on the size of the guest list and your relationship with them. Anyone who might have gotten plane tickets is going to need to know quite soon. My gut reaction was to send a vistaprint postcard ASAP, but it might be more appropriate for you to call your people, he calls his people, the moms call their people, etc. As far as wording (and design, come to think of it), I’d make it similar to the original STD, so people associate them in their minds. If it’s moving, you could say something about your “exciting new opportunities in [location],” “we can’t wait to introduce you to our new hometown,” something like that. If it’s being postponed, I’d make sure to keep the message upbeat, no matter what, so gossipy older relatives don’t get any ideas! You can be totally flip and say “planning a wedding is hard work! We’re moving ours to [date] so we have more time to plan a party to remember.” Or you can be more honest, as long as there’s no way for a bitter old-maid aunt to interpret it as just being cold feet.

Has anyone used any seating planning software to plan what table everyone sat at?

For those of you who DIYed invitations, how did you print on the envelopes? I can’t seem to find a template for an envelope as “small” as a 6×6. Unfortunately, paying for calligraphy is not an option.

Thx!

Andrea- try crest whitestrips- also brushing with hydrogen peroxide or using it as a rinse (don’t swallow!) works well- it’s pretty much the active ingredient in the white strips

[...] latest Beehive featured a question about bouquet jeweled initials, so I thought I would share my experience [...]

star_rotor: i made custom pins with my sister’s all-metal bench press. it’s way cheaper than ordering them from somewhere online! however, the presses are a *tad* bit expensive.

here’s a blog with some button press options:
