Can I request that bridal shower gifts be delivered ahead of time?
I’m hosting a couples’ bridal shower soon. It’s an evening party and will be fairly large. To enable the bridal couple to spend more time visiting with their guests instead of just unwrapping presents, may I request that gifts be delivered to me or the other hostess ahead of time to be opened early and displayed at the shower? The majority of the guests work in the same building as the other hostess (at a church), so it wouldn’t really be out of their way. It seems like a good idea, but I’m not sure how to ask, or if it would be well received by the guests. If I decide to go this way, I’ll use an enclosure in the invitation – how should I word it?
PLease Recommend me some Wedding Flowers Related Site?
Please suggest me a good guide related to wedding flowers and Seasonal Wedding flowers
Is it true that in the US in the early 19th century, people wore wedding rings on the right hand?
I have read that some cultures/religions continue to wear wedding rings on the right hand, but I can find little documentation of the historical traditions attached to wedding rings in the US or the Americas.
Would silver shoes with a wedding dress look tacky even if they were really stylish?
I found the perfect pair of wedding shoes and even though the picture looks like they are a cream/off-white colour, I was devastated when I read the details and they were actually beige. I even contacted the seller and asked if they really looked ‘browny beige’ or was the picture true and did they look off-white and she said that no, they looked browny beige.
Anyway—– they have the exact same pair in a silver, and I was wondering….would it look trashy, or clashy? Because they are really stylish and modern and……something different! I could look go outside the box. But I don’t want to look trashy or tacky.
What do you think? My dress is floor length and an A-line skirt so they will show, but they won’t be as emphasised as with like a silhouette dress.

How to ask co-workers to be discrete about wedding invitations?
My wedding is in October, and I’m preparing the wedding invitations for mailing. There are a select few of my co-workers (5 out of 35) whom I would like to invite. This limitation is based on (1) budgetary restraints and (2) a more personal relationship with the selected co-workers. The invitations will be mailed to the co-workers’ home mailing address. It is a destination wedding (would be about a 3 – 4 hour drive for most of my co-workers), so, I think everyone would understand if they didn’t get an invitation. My question is this: Should I include a personal note with the invitation stating "Due to budgetary restraints, we are able to invite only a few individuals from the office." I’m trying to figure out a way to let them know that not everyone from the office is invited so they don’t start talking about the invitation with someone else in the office who didn’t get one (assuming everyone was invited). Any thoughts?

Frugal wedding tips- can you cut this budget for me?
Okaaay!
I have the following left to pay for for the wedding that is September 6th.
DJ- 0
Minister-0
Marriage license- 0
Bridal party gifts (4 of them) 0
candy buffet (instead of favours) 0
groomsmen golfing morning of wedding- 0
wedding bands- 0
clothing for our kids to wear to wedding- 5
rehersal dinner night before for close family/friends- 0
Hair/makeup- 0
thank you cards for after wedding & shower-
Rest of the catering bill- 0 (parents are paying other 00)
I am thinking about skipping getting my hair & makeup done and doing it myself. I am buying basic blank cards from a craft store and stamping my own thank you cards. We have a contract with the DJ otherwise we would just use a laptop for music… but we can’t now.
We’re not handing out favours, but having a candy buffet. Buying candy in bulk, putting it in bowls and stamping white paper bags with our wedding colours and design.
how can I cut down on bridal party gift costs? I paid for their dresses. I am really trying to keep their gifts at around 0, not the budgeted 0… was thinking about framing a nice picture of me with each of the girls and giving them as gifts, along with a mini spa kit (bath bombs, lotions, scrubs, etc).
I just bought the dress for my daughter on clearance for – now my son needs khakis, a white golf shirt, and both kids need shoes.
Was thinking about how to spend less on the rings- a brushed white gold/titanium/silver band for hubby, and a white gold band for myself. Where is the cheapest we can get them? Online is fine, as long as they will arrive on time.
I also need to buy the following–
tea lights
spool of raffia
white paper bags
placecards & bulletin board for place cards
mini plant pots with greenery in them
tulle
green and chocolate brown ribbon
some fake green button mums or something similar
a big wreath form to make a wreath with the flowers
any ways i can cut down these costs even more? I only have like 00 TOPS for the rest of this! And what is the ettiquette on tipping the caterer/minister/dj?
Thanks!

Should the Maid of Honor expect the rest of the bridal party to throw two showers and a bachlorette party?
Is it rude for the Maid of Honor (who is the sister of the bride) to expect the rest of the bridesmaids to throw two bridal showers and a bachlorette party with her? Of the four people who are MOH/bridesmaids, only two of us (my other college best friend and I) have significant jobs. The other to (including the MOH and fourth bridesmaid) are in college and high school, respectively. The two of us that have jobs are just out of college and I am newly married myself while my friend is trying to save to buy a house. We offered to throw the bachlorette party but never said a thing about the showers. Should we be expected to foot the bill for the showers too? Especially when her mom is choosing a venue that sounds a bit pricey? I thought these were thrown as a gift to the bride by an extended family member such as an aunt, cousin, or close family friend. Am I in the wrong?

What’s the best material for a wedding band for a professional chef?
I work with my hands, so I want something strong. I hear that tungsten and titanium are strong, but I’m concerned that the color will not look the same as white gold or platinum,or they won’t look as shiny. Or should I just go with white gold or platinum?

Where can I find affordable wedding shoes?
I am looking for affordable shoes for me & my bridal party. My wedding is this August.
I need ivory shoes, something with a few crystals or rhinestones maybe and would like to spend less than if possible.
For my bridal party I need 5 pairs of black sandals or open toed shoes. I’d like these to be or less.
I’ve already checked:
Target
Payless
Walmart
Sears
JCPenney
David’s Bridal
Overstock
I’ve also done several yahoo & google searches.
Does anyone know of another place??
The shoes will be one of their bridal party gifts.
The chances of me finding 5 pairs of the same shoes on Ebay in different sizes is unlikely. Thanks though.
I need help with wedding music?
I need help with the music for my wedding next month. I have a pianist lined up to play, but my problem is I don’t know how much music I need to have picked out. How many songs and for which parts do I pick music out for? Any suggestions on really nice songs for the ceremony? Do I only pick out music at certain times when people are walking in and if so then which people and then the lighting of the unity? Sorry guys, I just don’t even know where to begin. I guess I’m not on the up of wedding music. Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.
