Currently watching videos on Martha Stewart Weddings Luxury Wedding Expo online... full of such pretty ideas.
Notes to self:
- Photo confetti for to put inside thank-yous or to use as decor
- Photo frame cake topper - affix to ribbon and tie around middle cake layer
- Learn basic etiquette, but don't expect guests to know it
- Never put "no kids" or registry information on the invitation; use conversation as much as possible for specifics
- Expect to spend 10-15% more than the estimated budget
Hopefully I'll be able to figure out how to add some of those videos here - so far, to no avail.
Visited a potential venue today - totally off-the-cuff; happened to be in the area, so Grandma, two siblings and parents all got a taste for the place (I'd seen it previously)... I do like the place, just not yet sold. Regardless, she's got a good resource. Here's what I pulled from her experience:
- Don't under-estimate the wonder of Sam's Club
- Photo montages are a guest favorite ... Every time.
- Wine-corkage and cake cutting fees are robbery - don't fall for it.
- Be inventive - it can help to overlook "standard linens."
- Bubbles as favors are a slippery nightmare.
Man, what a totally productive day.
