Hard to do though - so many people seem to come with a whole slew of others attached - i.e. "if we invite Jan from the office then we need to invite Paula and Rose" or "if we invite cousin Fred then we need to invite his two sisters." Everyone seems to end up with 120, which seems to rule out all the really nice small venues.Beahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15957626443087438904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-48526338906798356702007-10-31T15:15:00.000-06:002007-10-31T15:15:00.000-06:00LOVE the coffee Cappucino bar!

Candle light is a great and inexpensive (if you do it right) way to add ambiance and warmth to a reception. Also, I'm completely with you in regards to a favor that is usefull and not just sugared almonds. This site http://www.myownlabels.com/ has a lot of really cool and usefull options that you can personalize. You can use these on pre-made wedding cookies, wine, or maybe the ingrediants for your favorite cookie that they can then take home with them and bake.Bananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01448587729307622629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-18855586020580919372007-10-31T08:32:00.000-06:002007-10-31T08:32:00.000-06:00that all sounds beautiful!! i am also doing a flip...that all sounds beautiful!! i am also doing a flip flop basket, since we will be having our wedding on a lawn, under a tent - i want everyone to feel as relaxed as they can and just enjoy!<BR/><BR/>thank you for the comment yesterday - i went onto netflix and got a yoga DVD, what a great idea! <BR/>i also did read that glamour mag article, and its so inspiring! i know i wont last every single day (im partying all weekend coming up) but on the day-in day-out i'm going to be good. i hope it helps!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-39051576644728466262007-10-31T08:22:00.000-06:002007-10-31T08:22:00.000-06:00Ah, November weddings.

And why?<BR/><BR/>Swistle--I think you're right about the back issues. I may just do it. Also, that's a good point about the kids--though there won't be any kids at our wedding. There will be one ten-year-old, from France and used to staying up late, and the next-youngest will be 14 and I'm pretty sure that all the others will be of voting, if not drinking, age. And I can only think of two invited guests who have kids that would not be coming to the wedding. I suppose they can leave early if they need to.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15942269316108576622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-79382855945336906182007-10-30T14:13:00.000-06:002007-10-30T14:13:00.000-06:00Oh, you should totally order the back issues.
