It’s really not that hard to make one of these. It’s kind of shocking. We went to a bakery in Brooklyn, and two fabulous ladies showed us what to do.

In a wedding, many friends and relative would be invited to grace and witness the occasion. It is important that you secure them as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

Once you have finalized the date for the wedding, it is time to draw up a preliminary guest list. Depending on the type of wedding chosen, you might want to quickly send out a “Save the Date”card to the people on your guest list to secure the day. Then quickly follow up with the invitation for them to r.s.v.p. By planning early, you would know exactly how many people would be turning up for the event and you can better plan your logistics for the event.

What should you then decide on the wedding invitation? Firstly, you should consider the type of design you want. The details can go all the way down to the envelope used and the type of printing. Try to do this at least 6 months in advance. Prior to that, it is recommended that you send out the “Save the Date” cards so that your guests are aware that you are getting married on this day.

After you have gone to the printer to discuss on the design and start printing, it is important that you keep track of the timeline. It is important that you send out the invitation at least eight weeks before the wedding so that your guests have sufficient time to respond to you. Sometimes, the postal delivery might take up to two weeks and for them to revert to you on their availability, four weeks might already be gone. Before you panic and try to finalize the details with the wedding planner and the hotel, it is advisable to draw up a timeline with the printer to ensure the timely printing of the invitation cards.

Some tips you can keep in mind:

Mail the cards to friends and relatives who live out of town, or far away. This would give you some time to ensure that they have sufficient time to respond to you and to make the necessary transport arrangements. Put a website address on the card. This is to make things easier. If they can respond via your wedding website, it would help to speed up the process. While printing the wedding invitation cards, you might want to also prepare thank you cards which are mailed out after the event. In this way, you might be able to get a better deal as you are printing both sets of cards out at the same time.

I don’t want to spend $300 on my wedding invitations. Usually that cost doesn’t include the RSVP, reception, inserts, etc… I want to cut costs because we are on a budget. Any suggestions on some great websites that don’t charge an arm and leg for invitations?

On a recent episode of amazing wedding cakes, Christopher Garren makes a wedding cake that replicates a brides dress. The dress is very fancy and fitted. Does anyone known who makes this dress? In the episode the bride supplied the picture of the dress but they never said who made the dress. Thanks for your help!

Amanda asked:


I am wondering how expensive individual wedding cakes vs. a traditional wedding cake.

Thanks!

Sam asked:


My girlfriend and I are not religious, but like the idea of having a gold and silver (for the bride) set of wedding rings, like the Catholics.

Is this appropriate to do ?

In general, can we just get the rings that we like, or is there a set of guidelines that we should follow ?

It is usual for several weddings to take place on the same day at a local registry office so just a splash of your own personality is all that is needed for your ceremony. Personal flowers will be used in the same way (buttonholes and corsages for the wedding party) but a beautiful arrangement for the registry table is often popular and is a great way to incorporate you theme. A larger budget would allow for a freestanding pedestal arrangement full of fresh flowers, this could be placed in the most focal position near the bride and groom during the ceremony and Im sure will feature in many memorable photographs. www.todichfloraldesign.co.uk

Cakes and champagnes are one of the most integral parts of any wedding today. But then no ordinary cakes can suffice in a wedding, no matter how low your budget is. Like the occasion and the celebrations, the wedding cake is also something that is very special and very memorable one, especially for those who are getting married. It is also something that attracts everybody’s attention in the jubilations.

And because of all these reasons, the wedding cakes have to be really beautiful and exquisite. They have to be big and gorgeous. Most couples want their wedding cake to be very specially made and designed such that their cake stands out and looks exceptional. And it is due to this reason that the cake is a thing of anxiety for numerous couples about to get married, around the world.

Yes a wedding cake, much like the other aspects of the celebration, is a thing that people get worried about before it is set up finally at the right moment. People are anxious about the arrival of the cake by the right time, the design and shape of the cake, whether it would be set up in the perfect manner, would it look nice and delicious. All such fears grasp the minds till finally the cake part is pulled off successfully.

Keeping all such anxieties and fears in mind, special websites that are dedicated to wedding cakes have come up. These sites are basically web based suppliers of wedding cakes and all kinds of cakes. They specialise in designer cakes for all kinds of occasions, especially marriages and birthdays.

Most of us today are going for theme parties and celebrations after marriage. You can now get designer cakes designed to fit the occasion and the theme. Most of the online cake providers have a number of options for such designer cakes; however, if people have any special design for their wedding cakes, most of the service providers do take care of such customisations.
