We’ll definitely be changing the format of the beehive now that we have boards. Perhaps we’ll link to the most popular/interesting threads of the day in the boards? If you have any ideas on how we should organize the beehive from now on, please comment below and let us know!
Katie B - I am assuming it means the hollow of your thoat to the floor? Maybe underarm? Seems like it has to do with overall length, though, which could be very important if your dress has a difficult-to-alter hem. Can you contact the company for more info?
sundhin, i love that question 
use a good shaving cream and shave first down like regular and then side to side. the hair grows in all directions so that’s the best way to get them all.
i dont remember where i learned that… but i think it was on tv. hah
Laura, I would use booklets about the size of the small Kolo albums (1.5″ squared?). I would probably not bind the papers together though and just cut out individual pages (after mass printing them on larger paper.) Then gather all relevant pages for the program, punch a hole in the corner, string a thin ribbon through the hole, and attach to the ring on the bottom of the fan. HTH!
Sundhin, actually what they do is they pluck, either with tweezers or by threading. A friend of mine does it to hers.
Miss Daffodil - I have a post that should be put up soon about the videographer we chose. He works in LA and his prices are reasonable. Check him out at: http://www.walterpawluk.com/
Katie B - my dress had to be measured hollow-to-hem, and it means the length from the hollow of your throat to where the hem of your dress should hit. It is critical when your hemline is difficult or impossible to alter. You need to wear the shoes you’ll wear with your dress when measuring also.
alli- go with the leaf design. I purposely avoided giving anything with our names or initials on it because would you want something with someone else’s initials on it?
Alli - I wouldn’t engrave them with anything to be honest. It’s cheaper that way for you, and will have broader appeal. If you are really set on engraving, I would go with the leaf design rather than your monogram or wedding date. I mean think about it, if you went to your friend’s wedding, what would you do with a wine glass with their wedding date on it? People usually only want memorabilia like that engraved with their own special dates.
The wine glass idea is really nice though. Make sure to give a pair instead of a single one, so that they will have matching glasses. (You could get away with a pair per couple so that it’s still one per person, for those guests coming with dates.)
Mrs. Bee - with the boards, do you still need a beehive?
For the underarm question–do you own any microdermabrasion products? I have some from Mary Kay (designed for the face), and I love it. The reason is that you can use a product like that on your underarms before you shave, and it helps remove excess skin cells and ingrown hairs so you get a really, really, really close shave.
I just started doing this a few months ago, and it works really well.
Kim S - I think you could decline politely with a nice message on the RSVP wishing them the best of luck and that would be perfectly appropriate.
Mindy M.
My RSVP has those icons :-). I’m assuming my designer found them from istockphoto.com or clip art sites (Google will show you a lot).
Hope this helps! Good luck!
this is the last regular beehive we’ll do since these questions were already posted in yesterday’s hive.
do you think we should eliminate the hive altogether? or should we link to the the most interesting/popular posts on the boards in our beehives?
Mindy: Paper Source has these really cute stamps specifically for this purpose if you want the stamped look.
mrs. bee, i like the linking to the most intersting/popular posts on the boards idea in lieu of the beehive.
Alli - don’t engrave - too “prom-tastic” if you do.
Mrs. Bee - i like the option to ask questions and if you elminated the hive where will the questions go? the hive seems to make the site more interactive on a personal level.
sundhin - if its in your budget and you have time, laser hair removal! its the best money spent. ever. serious. next best thing is to pluck w/ a tweezer.
Miss Daffodil,
We have a great videographer based in LA. They are ver Their website is http://www.frequentflyerproductions.com .
They have prices listed but will work with any budget. Also there have four samples of their work. You can also find a lot of the main questions you’d have answered on their site. I can’t shout out how great it has been so far to work with them! Best of luck!
Mrs. Bee - As Katie said, I like the ability to ask questions in the hive, and then link the most popular to the boards.
Katy B.
The Hallow to Hem is a measurement from the base of your neck to the floor… this measurement helps to determine the length of the dress…
Laura - we are attaching accordion programs to our sandalwood fans with Costa Rican touristy playing cards acting as the ends on the programs and the text going on a letter size accordion folded piece of paper cut to about 4″. Hole punched in one end, tied with ribbon, and sealed with a sticker to keep it together.
