Planning a Wedding- Part 3

Part 3 of wedding planning is here Wedding Dress If you are getting it made you will need to have it organized early. Some dressmakers and companies will tell you 7 months are not long enough so a lot depends on how long the engagement is. Or you might decide to buy one ready made. I did this when I married. I saw a dress I loved that was a bit different. I tried it on. It needed only minor alterations. It wasn’t expensive. I lay-byed it – the first dress I tried on. A friend hired her wedding dress. … Continue reading →

An Environmentally Friendly Wedding

Posted on by

Our society in many cases is trying to become more environmentally aware. Several organizations are placing an emphasis on supporting and encouraging acts that are good for the environment. One very common phrase or logo that can be heard or seen in magazines is “go green”. I have both heard this phrase on the radio and seen it in print. In most cases I think about not polluting, recycling, and planting trees. I had never thought about how a wedding may tie in with the logo until I came across a recent article stating that there were actually environmentally conscious … Continue reading →

Limiting the Number of Wedding Guests

Posted on by

In a previous article I discussed the task of choosing wedding invitations. Determining who and how many people you will invite to your wedding can be one of the most difficult tasks that you come across. Inviting guests can be a tricky thing to sort through. In some cases there are no limits to how many people you can invite. However in other cases couples are limited. Couples may be limited by wedding funds. The more guests that you have, the more food that you need at the reception. This can eat up a lot of your ceremony money. In … Continue reading →

Thoughts on Wedding Invitations

Wedding season is well underway. Wedding plans have been taking place for some time now. June weddings have been taking place and July, August, and September planners are busily making their wedding arrangements.

Some couples choose not to send invitations at all. Instead they do a general announcement of their wedding.

Wedding Planners

Posted on by

Most brides that I know of that live in my area plan their own weddings. They search through books and get ideas from others. However, no professional person or service is hired for the planning help. The professionals do come in when food, cakes, invitations, decorations, and filming are concerned. I had never really thought about true wedding planning agencies until I watched The Wedding Planner. After seeing the movie I realized that there really must be people out there that plan weddings for a living. I had also never really considered how big and expensive some weddings can be. … Continue reading →

Taking Kids to Weddings, Funerals and Other Ceremonies

I know this is a controversial topic, and I’m not going to stake my claim to one opinion or another. Instead, I wanted to throw this out to all of you eloquent bloggers and online communicators in hopes we could get some diverse and interesting ideas about taking children to weddings, funerals and other “grown up” ceremonies… About ten years ago, when my grandmother died, I brought my kids home to the Pacific Northwest from the Midwest (where we were living at the time) for the funeral process. The funeral itself, however, was a grave-side service and with three kids … Continue reading →

Christmas Weddings – Let’s Go A Wassailing

There is something very dickensian about a wedding at Christmas and I think were I to plan a wedding now, I’d intertwine it into the Christmas season and take advantage of all the beautiful ideas, decorations and music available within the Christmas season. However, planning a Christmas wedding comes with a whole set of other problems, including involving other people in planning the wedding in and around the holiday season. Dickensian Wedding When you hear the word Dickensian, chances are you think of old fashioned street lamps, beautiful clothing, bonnets and even snowy scenes with horse drawn sleighs. You wouldn’t … Continue reading →

Wedding Invitation and Envelope Alternatives

Okay, making your own wedding invitations may sound like a challenging task, but it’s not as difficult as you might think. If you know how to use a computer reasonably well, you can do it. If you have a desktop publishing program, that’s even better, because it will give you step by step instructions. If not, you can make invitations with a word processing program as well. Start by finding some pretty card stock at a good price. There are plenty of places to purchase card stock reasonably, including local stores like Wal-Mart. Choose a fairly heavy weight to make … Continue reading →
