I will share the complete suites in early March after I get everything mailed out.

I got an email from a blog reader named Alexandra last weekend. She was interested in having cards printed that could serve as table numbers at her July wedding. She wanted folded cards with the number on the front and then a space inside for guests at each table to write an anniversary message. The…

Cupcakes win out. After all that. After alllll that. We are serving cupcakes. And not an intense cupcake tower. Not anything "wedding" special. Just three flavors (strawberry, chocolate and carrot) of little cakes. We are going to have the cupcakes come out on trays and be delivered to the tables. Guest will get to pick…

I have a plan for the wedding programs. Thoughts on wedding programs : On the one hand, they are useful. The guests can follow along, get some insight on who the wedding party is and fan themselves if the AC conks out. On the other hand, they are a lot of work and usually go…

My interest was piqued when I saw this last week. And then there was this blog post by Max Wagner. That pinwheel collage over the fireplace (scroll down a ways)? OH ME, OH MY. There is not a fireplace in our reception venue, but I think a smattering of pinwheels in gray, white, cream and…

That's little P and little E. Both are going to make an appearance at the wedding reception. On the big screen. As a slideshow.
