We attended a wedding over the weekend for my niece, on the invitation it did not mention if the wedding was casual, semi-formal or formal and was being held at 11:30 in the mornig with a buffet reception to follow. I have not seen so many poorly dressed people in all my life at a wedding! There were people there in ripped jeans, t-shirts, overalls!, and even one woman in sweatpants! Now there were also some that were very nicely dressed in casual attire, but nice. Then there were a few that were dressed up, like in my opinion that they were going to a wedding. My question is…. is this normal? Was there anything that she could have put on the invitations to avoid this colorful crowd or would these people dressed how they wished regardless? We are planning two weddings for later this year and I would really like to avoid having people attend in jeans or sweatpants!

I have a friend who is sending invitations to people in her wedding party and I feel it’s not necessary and wasteful, since they are going to be a part of the wedding anyway.

My MOH is from out of town. She said she is going to fly out here and throw me a bridal shower, since all of my bridesmaids and friends are in a 4 hours radius of where I live and it’s easier that way. I’m really excited!

She has asked me to pick out a place where I would like to have the shower, and if I will help her with games and invitations and everything.

I don’t know if it’s because she doesn’t know any of the other bridesmaids or if they are just unwilling to help. I don’t know if the bridesmaids even know about it.

I don’t *really* have a problem with doing this, but does that seem kind of weird? Am I breaking any serious etiquette rules by helping? What should I do?
she is my ex-stepsister. so not really my immediate family.

Ok I have almost everything planned. The reception hotel provides candleoperas so I am not spending extra money on centerpieces.

The colors of the dress are bronze(light brown) and creme, and accent is blue.

Cake is criss crosses.

Favors: Sugar cookies that look like man. Last name going to be sugarman

Also wanted to do place cards that have there names attached to a sand shell. Is that too much??

Oh invitations have a shells shaped like a heart, so theme hearts and shells??

Oh and the wedding on the first day of summer so naming places we like to go in the summer.
Guest book, wedding wish bowl. Cutting the paper to look like waves. They have special scissors.
So should I do the sugar cookies or the place cards or both??

My wedding is planned for July 3, 2010 (so still pretty far ahead) but I already know that it is going to be on a tight budget. The wedding will take place on the beach and the reception will be the following weekend at a place to be determined. I’m looking for some ideas for invitations/decorations/favors/etc that I can start working on now and that are relatively inexpensive. I consider myself pretty crafty but I can’t sew or draw well. Any ideas? Also, is it necessary to pick a theme for the reception and if so, what are some creative ideas for a them? Thanks!
