One sign that we’ve entered the internet era is when we rely on the internet to help us put together a special event in our life, which we traditionally do offline — our wedding. But since some couples are pressed for time, it’s quite understandable that they trust an avenue which will help organize things faster and more conveniently.
In the spotlight today is a new wedding online shop that, though not entirely servicing every bit that composes a wedding, caters to certain details which brides can leave to purchase online. Let’s look into shopping for our bachelor/bachelorette party invitations, decorative …read more

If your wedding is the first event you are organizing and you opted to not use the help of a wedding planner then I suggest you read my post regarding wedding invitation etiquette. You might find that if you don’t follow some of the guidelines I will outline here, none of the guests would come!
The Planning
You should leave at least a 3-month lead time from selecting the right wedding invitation vendor to the time you send the wedding invitations to your guests.
The Invitation
The design and type of your wedding invitation would normally set the tone of your wedding. If you …read more

I have friends who are fans of Star Wars. They loved Star Wars so much that they named their kids after Luke and Leia. I’m not surprised if there are couples out there who are also die-hard Stars Wars fan who’d wan to fashion their wedding after the movie.

Anyway, back to the Star Wars Wedding theme. Here’s a video to get you started on your quest for the perfect Star Wars-inspired wedding theme.

1. Wedding Dress
Wedding dresses don’t have to be limited to satin, silk or other usual run-of-the-mill fabrics. If you want something different or if you are into peacocks then why not have a wedding dress made out of peacock feathers?

I love calligraphy. I love the handwritten style of the “olden days” before the world got run over by computers and electronic typeface. For our own wedding invitations, I hired the services of a wonderful calligrapher to address each of our wedding invitations using her special talent and pen, of course!
It’s good to know that there are companies out there like Paperfinger specializing in this wonderful art.
What is Calligraphy? According to WiseGeek,
Calligraphy is the art of writing script in such a way as to express the beauty of what is being written in the formation of the letters themselves.

And here I was thinking that the wedding invitation designed by Trevor Navarra, had to be the coolest wedding invitation ever:

Getting RSVPs out of our invited guests was a challenge that I had to deal with during our wedding.

It’s not customary for them to let you know they can make it to a function or not. I knew this would be the case for our own wedding. Even if we did stress the importance of RSVPing in our wedding invitation, a handful only rang back to say whether they could make it or not.
Is this something …read more
