Wedding Favors
Where can I order custom labels?
Thanks soooo much Shayne for my gorgeous monogram!!! I love it sooo much I am going to use this for everything...aisle runner...favor labels...and so much more.
Where is the best place to order favor labels from though? I'd like to put a pillow favor box on each place setting like the picture to the left. I know I have seen sites to order them from but now my mind is blank. |

NWR...Xmas gifts
What to get an 8 yr old girl
So I won't say my daughter is spoiled...but ...she does have everything a little girl could dream of. TV, computer, DS, DVD, VCR, Ipod, 3 story doll house, etc.... We have given her so much at birthdays and Xmas that she expects big things every year. Or should I say ALOT of things every year. She is NOT ungrateful and she takes care of her things very well and does great in school and with her modeling so we treat her.
That being said what would be a good gift for her from Santa? She asked him for a FurReal Friend (the cat) and my parents got it for her already. I know she wants the Polly Pocket Waterpark Resort thing and we are getting that from us. So what should Santa bring? |

Wedding Reception
Kids at the wedding
We both come from pretty large families that include lots of kids. Never did it cross our minds to not include children at our wedding and reception. But I do have a couple questions:
1. We are having a candy buffet for after dinner. How do we keep the kids out of it? I don't want to hide it and have it brought out later. I want it to be a focal point as much so as the cake. Should we have the DJ make an announcement? 2. When we are doing our seating chart where do you put the kids? I like the idea of having a boys table and a girls table for the kids to eat at. I am also planning activity stations. But should the kids be with their parents to eat? Keep in mind the kids range from 3ish to 12ish. Our meal is a buffet lunch. Chicken Cordon Bleu and Apple Glazed Roasted Pork...mashed potatoes...cali vegetables...rolls. The kids are having more kid friendly food. Mini corn dogs...little pizzas...fruits...veggies..etc... So what are your thoughts on the kids??? |

After party dress
Would this dress work?
We chose to have an early ceremony (12pm) and reception (1-5). Our reasoning for this is so we can go after the reception and after party. We are taking our wedding party over to Kissimmee (like an hour away) to spend the night in a really nice hotel and go clubbing at Sun on the Beach.
We live in Knoxville, TN now and we want to go out and have a fabulous time with our friends. That being said I need an outfit to change into for the get away. I so want to be in a cute dress and I want to feel like the bride still. I love this dress (in pink though). Would it be ok for going clubbin? Or is it too fancyish for the club???? |

Wedding Reception
Changing caterers
We booked our caterer awhile back. It is a local restaurant that also does catering. We are providing our o'horderves for the cocktail hour as well as all the alcohol for the bar.
The caterer was going to do Chicken Cordon Bleu and Apple Glazed Roasted Pork with Mashed Potatoes and Cali Veggies. No rolls no butter no drinks. Buffet style for 9.00 per person. AWSOME PRICE!!!! They required nothing down to book the date. They will just pencil me in. Hmmmm....My dealings with them have left me feeling a little strange. First he told me 7.95 pp. Then when I emailed asking for the price in writing he emailed me a quote for 9.00pp. Then the bartender was going to be 120.00 for 4 hours. I came accross a catering company about half an hour away that is very well established. I thought they were 100% out of our budget. I contacted them and told them what I want and they quoted me 16.99 pp!!! WOW It was really outta our price range. So I told them thanks but no thanks. They then told me tey would beat any competitors quote by .25pp. I emailed them my quote and they approved it. They are doing the same food buffett style for 8.75pp and providing the rolls butter and sweet tea!!! I also get their bartender for 4 hours for only 60.00!!!! I am super excited to be using a wonderful catering company instead of a little family restaurant. |

Make up artist
I booked her today
I am so happy to finally have this checked off the list. Our vow renewal is in a very small town and good salons are hard to come by let alone make up artists. I found someone great!!! Her prices are fab and she is coming to me the day of.
She is located in Central Florida and is only charging me $20.00 to travel to me. (about 45 minutes away) Like I said her prices are great. I am paying $65.00 for the day of plus $10.00 for false eyelashes. I have seen samples of her work and all her brides were gorgeous! I can't wait. These are the looks I want to go for. Kinda smokey dramatic eyes and neutral or pinkish lips. |

I'm getting really annoyed!!!!
Stupid spammers go away
I am a stay at home mom who is planning a vow renewal. I get up early take my daughter to school and come back home to browse WBC before I begin my day or cleaning, laundry, errands and so on. Sad as it may be I look forward to getting up in the morning and seeing the new posts. Today I am livid!!!! I get up and almost the entire board is filled with the stupid spam ads. I am so tired of this. I dislike the knot boards but I am so close to joining to get away from all these annoying ads. Can't WBC do something to get rid of them?

Wedding Invitation
Pocketfold question
So I am anxiously awaiting my invitation design from Ashley and I know I am going to do a pocketfold invite. My question is when you order the pocketfolds are they already folded? Like are the creases already there or do you have to do it yourself?Silly question maybe but I was just wondering how much work I'm in for!!!
