I have found a very unique invitation that I'm in love with, but it's a little (well, ok, a lot) out of my budget... How can we trim invitation costs?? Is it appropriate to get plain white response cards? How about liners and colored ink, do I "have" (I know I don't have to do anything, but you know what I mean) to match colors to our "wedding colors" or can I go with no liners?
Homemade invitations are enjoying a wave of popularity! It has never been easier to make your own wedding invitations. Thanks to stamps, "scrap-booking" supplies, and fancy papers, you do not need much artistic ability to create gorgeous invitations.
Dealing with the estranged family (Read Full Article)
My fiancé's parents are separated and his father has a girlfriend. His mother has made it clear that she will not attend the festivities if the girlfriend is invited. The father has set his own ultimatum -- if the girlfriend isn't invited, he'll just bring her to the ceremony anyway but won't attend the reception.
My two daughters are marrying brothers and are going to have a double wedding. What is the best way to word invitations? Neither daughter want the other's friends to think they have to buy two presents.
Sending wedding invitations to your family and friends is a joyful act. Together, you and your life partner are asking those you love to share in the event that will formalize your loving commitment to one another.
If the invitation does not specify formal, but the wedding is in New Orleans and at night, should we assume that it is formal?
In days gone by, etiquette gurus laid down elaborate schemes for calculating the formality of a wedding based on the time of day, number of guests, and length of the train on the bride's gown. These rules are somewhat like Latin, in that they're still around, but hardly anyone knows them or uses them.
We are planning to invite all our friends and family ( total = 250 ), but money-wise, this is not feasible. I was thinking of inviting 100 ( family & closest friends ) guests for the dinner and the other 150 close friends will come after 8:00 pm for "after dinner cocktails" which would include five kinds of hot and cold cocktail foods plus an open bar throughout the evening. Will we offend the 150 guest or should we not invite them?
My fiancée and I are planning a split day wedding. Her parents have told us it would be a good idea to politely encourage guests to leave their children at home (infants under the age of 10-12 should not come to the reception).
How do you determine who to invite from work? Who or what level is a must to invite? With people working longer hours, in less stable jobs, the question of which coworkers to invite to the wedding has become one of the most stressful issues in putting together the guest list.
Help! The minister for our daughter's wedding was fired from his church, so now we have to move the wedding. The invitations are already printed. What do we do?
Renewing vows and wedding...together! (Read Full Article)
I'm searching for information on triple weddings. My situation is a unique one. I am planning on being married, my first, my future husband's second. The twist is that our parents will be renewing their vows on the same day: my parents, 45 years; his parents, 40 years. We will want this to be an extra-special gala event. Do you have any suggestions or information for me?
My son is getting married soon. Is it proper for us to send wedding announcements to the people that we'd like to invite, but can't include due to space and money requirements? If so, when would we send the announcements?
A friend is arranging a wedding for her daughter this fall. She wants to know if she should include the pastor's wife on the invitation. Also she needs to know if she should send an invitation to the disc jockey and the caterer.
When my fiancé and I are engaged, who is responsible for beginning communication between the two families? Traditionally, the responsibility to make "first contact" falls to the groom's family. It is their duty to telephone or write to the bride's family and, if possible, to invite the bride's family to meet them. With families spread out across thousands of miles, an in-person meeting may not be possible, but the families should at least make an effort to exchange a few letters or have a few long phone calls before the wedding day.
