Wednesday Wedding Tip

Break in those shoes...

Brides, keep your feet happy by breaking in your shoes before the wedding and try cushion inserts. There is nothing more unflattering than seeing a beautiful bride walking around without shoes because her feet hurt - so not cute.

Peace and Blessings,

Wednesday Wedding Tip

What would you do if you received a reply card back with no name filled in? Save yourself a huge headache trying to figure out who the card belongs to by inconspicuously placing a small number on the back of each reply card before enclosing it with the invitation. Use a list to record each guest's name along with the number on the reply card you are enclosing for them, so if someone forgets to fill in their name, a quick glance at your list will tell you precisely who the reply belongs to.

Peace and Blessings,

Tracy

Wednesday Wedding Tip:

Provide directions to the reception

If you are having your ceremony and reception at two different places, put a map of how to get from the ceremony to the reception site on the inside of the program, or print it on the back cover.

Peace and Blessings,

Save money on your wedding Cake

The more elaborate and custom your cake design, the more expensive it will be. If you’ve decided on a highly intricate design, save money by ordering a smaller version of the cake for cutting and offering a sheet cake for serving guests.

Peace and Blessings,
Tracy

Want to save money on your reception? Consider having a daytime reception. Serving brunch or lunch is cheaper than serving dinner.
