Virginia,
I ordered my dress online and it was smooth sailing. I loved how polite and knowledgeable they were and ended up ordering the BMs dresses from them as well. Yes, I know I sorta missed the whole buying from a salon, but I didn’t really want to deal with the sales ladies and am happy with the route I took.

hello! i am looking for “games” for the bride and groom to play during the wedding - we’re looking forcrowd pleasers and nothing raunchy - thanks!!

Joan, http://www.mountaincow.com has a wedding program that has icons and fonts that you can use for weddings. you have to purchase it though. here’s the link:

looney_tina, you can have the officiant introduce that part of the ceremony by saying something like this:

Officiant: Now that we have heard what a marriage is (they had a reading on marriage), Bride & Groom, have you come here freely and without reservation to give yourselves to each other in marriage?

Bride & Groom: We have.

Since it is your intention to enter into marriage, join your right hands, and declare your vows to each other before your friends and family.

… and the groom starts with his personal vows, then the bride follows with hers.

i’ve helped friends write their ceremonies before, so let me know if you need anything else! aoedorothee [at] yahoo.com hope that helps and good luck!

I am looking for some ideas for programs. We are having an outdoor ceremeony so we are having sandlewood fans and am thinking of attaching the program to the fan as a little booklet. The ceremony is being proformed by a judge and will be short so there wont need to be alot of information needed in the program. A friend swears she saw something similar on some wedding show on TV, but I am having a hard time finding an example. I was just wondering if anyone has done something similar or has any ideas about how to go about this. Thanks

LS’s - I think thank-you cards are perfect. Maybe include a cute group picture from the weekend as well.

I’d like an opinon on a wedding favor idea. My family owns a small winery and I like the idea of doing wine glasses as a favor, however, I’m not sure if they should be engraved or not. I was thinking of having our monogram with the date on it, but then wondered if people would really appreciate this or not. My second thought was that we are getting married next fall, so simply having a leaf design engraved on it could also be a possibility since i’ve incorporated that in other aspects like the invitations and having the ceremony outdoors.
Any thoughts would be really really appreciated thanks!!!

I remember seeing an RSVP somewhere (knottie page or invitation website) that listed menu options with little icons. I remember for sure there was a cow and I think the other two were maybe a pig and a fish, they were outlines of the animal. I am looking for a picture of this RSVP if anyone can help me out.

Tina,

I used this book to write our own ceremony: The Wedding Ceremony Planner: The Essential Guide to the Most Important Part of Your Wedding Day. It provides great examples of every aspect of the party, great for picking and choosing prewritten sections. You can get it on Amazon for less than $12; I believe I picked it up at Barnes and Noble.

Soon2BeMrsV - you can make your own paper with clip art from this website: http://www.weddingclipart.com/

They even have some basic design software built into the site that will let you layout your project.

I found the site when looking for some cute borders for my guest book pages. They have some great wedding art.

There’s a fee for the site, but they also offer a 14 day free trial.

Joan- checking out http://www.stampingup.com I am addicted to this company as they have every stamp you can imagine. I know for a fact that they have the animal types you are looking for.

Thanks Christine- I will check that site out and hopefully be very sucessful!
