Am I Invited??

Inevitably, there will always be someone who asks the dreaded question...."Am I invited to your wedding?" Even though you have zero intention of actually inviting this person to your wedding, you still have to use some creative replies to avoid an embarrasing situation.
~Blame it on your parents. Simply explain that your parents are paying for the wedding so they get to be in charge of the guest list.
~Explain that you and your fiance are paying for the wedding yourselves without any help from parents: therefore, you are having a really tiny guest list.
~Simply say that you are honestly thinking about eloping and laugh it off.
Try not to be rude and handle it the best way you can......with laughter and a smile!

2011 Wedding Trends

2011 Here We Are....unbelievable. I'm not sure how it came upon us so quickly, but here we are!
Here's your sneak peek at the top reception trends for the new year!
IN ~ Lounge seating (comfy sofas & ottomans) instead of assigned seating
IN ~ Passed mini desserts, cotton candy stations & ice cream bars instead of wedding cakes
IN ~ A good old fashioned bicycle getaway for the B & G
IN ~ Two dresses, yes that's right girls. One for the ceremony & another for the reception!
IN ~ Private Homes & Outside Venues over resort ballrooms
IN ~ Comfort Foods, "green" foods & interactive food stations that let the guests get in on the culinary fun!!

Here's hoping all you 2011 brides try a new idea of your own! Who knows?? You could be the next trendetter! Cheers..............
