Wedding Favor Ideas - part 2
Posted on | May 18, 2012 | No Comments
I’m a big fan of the smaller items on the tables. Guests seem to really like them and will actually use them if you choose the right ones. You can pick up nice inexpensive ones at many online stores like MyWeddingFavors.com and The Knot Wedding Shop. If you are having a wedding where you don’t want those types of items on the tables you can leave them at the bar where your guests can pick them up. After a while word will spread about where to find the goodies. Read more
Wedding Plans - Hidden Charges
Posted on | May 15, 2012 | No Comments
When you are making your wedding plans the amount of money you will be spending is usually a heated topic. Most couples set a pretty strict budget and know just how much they can spend on each item. As you get prices for the different people and items you need for your wedding you need to be aware that there can be a lot of hidden costs. Read more
Butterfly Wedding
Posted on | May 12, 2012 | No Comments
If you are looking to add a little something to your wedding, consider a theme. I’m not talking about a big one like a luau or costume wedding. I’m talking about a subtle theme that runs through the wedding, tying it all together. A great theme to use is butterflies.

I want to stress you can get married anywhere you like. I’m sure there are some great places I’m forgetting about right now (let me know if you find some!). I really want to make sure I cover the basics. So lets continue with some more wedding sites, how about at a hotel? Read more
Wedding Favor Ideas
Posted on | May 6, 2012 | No Comments
Wedding favors have been a tradition for a long time. It is a custom to present your guests with a gift to thank them for coming. A keepsake to remember your wedding by. These days your options are limitless, with so much to choose from. Read more
Wedding Decorating - part 2
Posted on | May 2, 2012 | No Comments
Once you have decided on the basics (tables, linens, glass & silverware, etc…) you can move on to some more of the details. Do you want streamers, theme decorations, balloons, etc…. you need to decide on the type of atmosphere you want for your wedding. Formal, casual, party, whatever the case may be. You can then have a better idea of what to get. If you want a formal wedding, balloons and streamers are probably not the way to go. Read more
Homemade Wedding Favors
Posted on | April 29, 2012 | No Comments
If your budget is tight, or you just want a personal feel, homemade wedding favors are a great choice. You don’t have to be crafty either. Just visit your local craft store to find loads of ideas and the materials to make them. Read more
Wedding Plan - Guest list
Posted on | April 26, 2012 | No Comments
The next thing you want to figure out is your guest list. It doesn’t have to be perfect, but you want to have an accurate guide to how many guests you will be having. You also need to let your parents, in-laws, or other important people involved know if they can invite everyone they want or if they need to pick only close family and friends. Better to get somethings out in the open early on as well. If you and your significant other are planning a small intimate wedding and the parents are thinking something more elaborate, the sooner you reach an agreement the better. Read more
Wedding Reception Songs - The Ceremony Part 2
Posted on | April 23, 2012 | No Comments
Here is a re-cap of what the songs are for so you don’t have to keep switching back and forth between posts. There are a lot more songs to go through, the next batch are listed below. Read more
Wedding Veil
Posted on | April 20, 2012 | No Comments
Target (yes Target, don’t knock it till you try it:)) has a great veil by Isaac Mizrahi on sale for $6.24 here. It say’s champagne, but the comments say white. You can always easily return it to the store if it’s not what you expect. For the price, if it’s something you are looking for, it’s worth a shot.
Wedding Party Favors - Part 3
Posted on | April 17, 2012 | No Comments
Yes, part 3. I don’t want to overwhelm you with huge posts that ramble on (and I do tend to ramble), so I’ll probably have lots more posts with multiple parts:). When it comes to the groomsmen, your options are not quite as vast. Some of the more popular items center around drinking. They have beer mugs, flasks, shot glasses and the like that can be personalized. These are great gifts that will be used after the wedding and are a keepsake as well, I’d guess that’s one of the reasons they are so popular. Read more

Wedding on a Budget
Posted on | April 14, 2012 | No Comments
Let’s just get it out in the open right away. While you have all these great ideas of what you want for your wedding, the reality is that everything costs money. Lots and lots of money. If you can afford it great, it will be much easier for you to plan your wedding. Unfortunately for most of us, money is an object. It is a big huge object that needs to be addressed right away so you don’t start planning unrealistically. Read more
Wedding Reception Sites
Posted on | April 11, 2012 | No Comments
When it comes to choosing the place to hold your wedding there are lots of options and factors to consider. Make sure you visit at least a few places, I’d say between 5-10 minimum. Tour the facility, have a taste test, get a detailed report of what they offer. Then you need to compare the pros and cons of each. Obviously your budget will have the greatest impact on where you choose, but location, convenience, services offered as well as many other things need to be considered. Read more
Dollar Dance (Money Dance)
Posted on | April 7, 2012 | No Comments
This custom has been around in some form or another for many years. It has gained in popularity in the past few years, and is referred to as the “dollar dance” or “money dance”. It is very popular at weddings in New York and New Jersey and has branched out to all areas of the country. Read more
Christmas Wedding Favors
Posted on | April 4, 2012 | No Comments
I love Christmas weddings. The holidays are a wonderful time of year when family and friends want to be together, so what better way to make it happen then with your wedding. There are so many elements you can incorporate into a Christmas wedding that you couldn’t use any other time of the year.
Dollar Stores
Posted on | April 1, 2012 | No Comments
I know that I have talked about dollar stores in other posts, but I was just at one the other day and felt the need to remind you about it. I was there to pick up a few things and, as I do whenever I am shopping, I checked around to see what would be good to use at a wedding. Read more
Christmas weddings

Christmas is a wonderful time of year to get married. You can have a Christmas wedding anytime in the month of December, it doesn’t need to be right at the holiday. The closer you get to Christmas day, the harder it is on your guests anyway. Read more
Wedding Centerpieces
Posted on | March 26, 2012 | No Comments
When it comes to wedding centerpieces you choices are endless. First you need to decide what type of centerpiece you are looking for, and what your budget is. I’ll be honest, most of the time I am trying to come up with inexpensive ways to make beautiful things. Flowers are always a beautiful way to go. You can put them in all different size containers to set the tone of what you are looking for. Read more
Wedding Party Favors - part 2
Posted on | March 23, 2012 | No Comments
If you do decide on jewelry you don’t need to go to a fancy jewelry store. If your budget allows it, by all means get something fancy, your girls will love it and appreciate it. If you need to be a little more mindful of your budget, try the major department stores. When they have sales and coupons you can get some really good deals.

Wedding Favor Ideas - part 3
Posted on | March 20, 2012 | No Comments
One really nice wedding favor I received was wine glasses. They weren’t fancy and were not engraved. I love them and use them all the time. Whenever I do, I think of my cousin and her wedding. She accomplished exactly what I am talking about, nice favors that are appreciated and used. Read more
Beach Wedding Cakes
Posted on | March 17, 2012 | No Comments
My cousin and his wife renewed their wedding vows and they had a beach theme reception. They wanted a cake that was a little more formal, yet matched with the theme. She kept it simple by just scattering a few shells around, but you could really make a statement if you want. Read more
Cupcake Wedding Cakes
Posted on | March 14, 2012 | No Comments

I know we have discussed wedding favors at length in previous posts, and many of them were very inexpensive. One of my favorite stores is the knot, you can always find something on sale at the Knot Wedding Shop. They also have lots of different items available, so you can buy everything at the same place and save on shipping. Read more
Theme Weddings
Posted on | March 7, 2012 | No Comments
I was recently a part of a great theme wedding. It was a Halloween theme. If you decide to do any kind of theme wedding, or non-traditional wedding, make sure you do what makes you happy. You will never please everyone and you will find all kind of people putting in there two cents. Take it all with a grain of salt and as you make decisions there is only one question you need to worry about. Will it make you happy. In 5, 10, 15 years from now when you and your husband look back on this special day will you have great memories? If the answer is yes, that is all that matters. Read more
Wedding Reception Sites - 3
Posted on | March 4, 2012 | No Comments
I know this may sound obvious, but don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don’t be afraid to question the people who are advising you either. While they do this for a living and know a lot about planning a wedding, they don’t always know what is best for you. They also may not always have you best interest at heart. Sometimes the more they get you to spend, the more money they make. Not always, but just keep that in mind. Read more
