Give to charity instead of renting china!

Aida — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 21:22:02 GMT

I'm having a gourmet BBQ for my wedding and my grandmother decided she would like china instead of paper plates. i agreed but instead of renting china from a rental place we are purchasing second hand china from the salvation army. We feel great about giving to a wonderful organization that helps many many people, and We will be giving again when we donate most of the china back to the salvation army. We also really like the look of mis matched retro style dinner and salad plates, and bowls. and the few we keep will make unique keepsakes.

Butterfly wedding cake

Aimee — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 02:07:56 GMT

OMG! I love butterflies, and my theme is going to be pretty much that.

A good friend of mine had a gorgeous fondant wedding cake with white and pale pink and dainty butterflies on it for her own wedding.

I don't want to copy her exactly, but I totally want a butterfly wedding cake.

Bridesmaid Gifts

Uppereastshopper — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 01:44:07 GMT

My friend just gave us bridesmaids the following. Some people that I have told about this gift thought it was a little much and just makes it seem as if when we are all in the same position, we are not going to have to do the same "outlandish" thing. Meanwhile, I don't think it was that over the top. Thoughts?

* She named a piece of land after each of us
* Coach keychain wallets
* Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa Gift Certificate
* Swavorwski crystal earrings to wear to the wedding

All of these gifts were placed in a really cute tote bags that were engraved with each person's initials.

Big Or Small Wedding?

Big Or Small Wedding
by: George Meszaros

Do you know how many people exactly to invite? Have you already set your wedding date? Have you set your wedding budget? If the answer is now, dont worry. These are some of the most difficult questions to answer you will be faced with during the planning process. There are many difficult tasks in the initial wedding planning process such as making the guest list. As you make your decisions, you may find yourself making compromises due to parental, budgetary, venue capacity, location and many other forces.

Wedding ceremonies mean different things to different people. You have to make a decision if your wedding is going to be a once-in-a-lifetime event or smaller more intimate celebration. The most significant limiting factor is money. Your budget limits the number of guests you can invite more than anything else. After you establish the reception budget, you can quickly do the math and decide the maximum number of guests you can afford to invite.

More than $16 billion is spent on wedding receptions in the America. The wedding reception will most likely account for the biggest chunk of your wedding budget. It is not uncommon that close to half of the total wedding budget is spent on the wedding reception.

The overwhelming majority of reception sites charge per-head. If your reception budget is $6000, and the cost per head is $60.00, you could have no more than 100 guests. You have many options to reduce expenses such as buying your own alcohol, having a buffet dinner instead of a served dinner. Unquestionably, you have to take budgetary restrictions into account when organizing the guest list.

If your parents are footing the bill for your wedding, you are going to have to respect their input for the final count. The larger part of the wedding your parents finance, the more you may have to listen to them. The more friends and relatives you have to invite, the longer the guest list is going to be.

Money is not the only factor affecting the size of your reception. Your guest list should also be affected by the size of the reception site. Be sure that you dont fall in love with a venue until you are sure that it can accommodate all the people you plan to invite.

Historically, the bride and grooms family invite half of the total number of guests. More often than not, the major check writers are calling the shots. If you cant live with that, you and your fiance should be prepared to pay for your wedding. As a consequence, youll be able to decide the majority of the guest list.
