Weddings - August 2007

I'm not getting married until June 2008, But I'm trying to figure out some of the smaller things now so its less to do later. I'm wondering what a good (somewhat cheap) wedding favor would be. The theme of our wedding is (outdoor) Prince/Princess. (Elegance) Any Ideas??

My father hasn't been in my life since I was 9 years old other than a few phone calls and cards every Christmas and Birthday. My stepfather has been with me since I was 10 (I am now 24). I am getting married in May of 2008 and both my father and stepfather are coming. I am having my mother walk me down the isle, but I'm not sure how to choose which father for the father daughter dance. Does anyone have any tips or any different things I could do to make both happy and avoid making anyone mad?

do you like large eternity bands or solitaire diamonds with a plain band better? i'm trying to decide btwn the two and can't make a decision. the solitaire and plain wedding band seem too safe, but the estate/vintage style eternity bands seem like there might not be enough diamond presence.

I love my parents, but my mom isnt the sentimental type at all. She doesnt seem excited at all for my wedding in 2 months. She did give me some money for it, and I glad of that...but she hasn't once offered to help out in any other way. My friend is getting married two weeks before me also, which does kinda aggervates me because she cant plan my bridal shower and bachelorette party since she's planning her own wedding.

Anyway, I see her mom all excited and helping her plan and getting involved, my mom just seems she doesnt care. At my dress fitting she acted more annoyed she had to come than excited to come and be a part of it. I dont think she wanted to come in the first place. My mom said she just isnt a sentimental type and doesnt get emotional easily, and she does like my fiance. I just dont understand it. I have to plan my own shower and everything, because my MOH decided to have her wedding 2 wks before me. I'm just really upset. I feel like I'm loing out on the joys of it all.

I am 23 years old and my boyfriend is 28 and he is wonderful. We both tell each other that we know this we are going to be together forever. He always tells me that after I get my degree (next summer) we are going to be one. Currently, we are gf/bf but he pretends I'm his wife and he likes to discuss the kids we are going to have together but he hasn't proposed to me or given me a ring. Should I let this continue or not? If I do let him keep this up will it delay his proposal? Do you think this is right?

My future Mother in Law is wearing a black tea length dress with like white/black chiffon on the top and the oversized sleeves. Now we have a great relationship, I already call her mom since my fiance and I have been together for 8 1/2 years and are getting married next Saturday!! YAY : ) But she told some of the ladies that she works with what she was wearing and they all told her that she should ask me what I think of it, cuz they assumed I would have a big problem with it. I don't have ANY problem with her wearing that, actually I love the dress and it's so cute on her and encourage her to wear it. I was just wondering what you guys think of this and how would you react if they showed up in black on your wedding day? Have a Great Day!! Thanks : )

I need some stories on your mothers attitudes during your wedding planning. Lets start off by saying that i love my mom dearly. With that said, she is driving me nuts!! Instead of helping me with things, she is quite the opposite. Here is an example. The other day i got my shipment of 'maids dresses(BTW, houseofbrides rock) and i was making sure that what i ordered was all correct. She looks at the dresses, looks at me, rolls her eyes and says "Is that what they look like?" I sucked up the urge to yell and told her that it was. Then she gets over that and says "Are all of the maids going to where the same color?" I say yes and once again, she rolls her eyes. Then she starts giving me a guilt trip and nitpicking about "oh, i thought they were going to have different colors & why are they only knee length?" This is just 1 issue. When i talk about the wedding, this happens. Any brides have stories to make me feel better? Please, i need to laugh

I marry my sweetie October 20 07

$0.41?

I am trying to estimate without having to go to the post office and weigh this:
- Outer envelope
- Inner envelope
- Invitation
- Reception card
- Directions card
- Response card
- Response card envelope

This is pretty standard for weddings, so I am wondering what everyone else used. Should I order $0.58 to be on the safe side?

(I am ordering custom stamps with our names and date)

Ok so I have been reading about receiving lines at weddings, and I haven't seen what it really is. I'm getting married next year, August 8, 2008 and it won't be a huge wedding. So I was wondering what is a receiving line and how does it work? I will only have a maid of honor and my fiance will have a best man (both sibilings of ours). Thank you in advance.

I am really stuck here. I have a friend getting married next week. She already has a house and daughter with her fiance so doesn't need household items. However, in the wedding invitation it actually states, "our house is near complete, so gifts of money would be neat!" I think personally this is rather tacky to write in an invitation do you agree? Also, she and I are somewhat close but I don't feel obligated to get her something expensive. A. I don't have the money to just give her some and or buy something expensive for the wedding. B. I never received so much as a thank-you note and my fiance and I were ignored at her daughter's first birthday party. And C. she didn't give me a babyshower gift, or a gift when my daughter was born, and gave her hand-me-downs to one of her fiance's friends she doesn't know that well when she knew I needed the clothes. I am not trying to be petty here, but I just don't feel I should have to go all out on her wedding gift when she hasn't even

Ok, im a bridesmaid at my cousins wedding in one weeks time, and ive just found out that the bridesmaids need to have a dance after the bride and grooms first dance. theres only 4 bridesmaids and its quite a big place with lots of people there so all eyes will be on us.

The problem is that we dont know the guys that my cousin has picked to dance with us and i have no idea how to slow dance, i dont even know what type of dance im meant to do!

There isnt a rehersal for us or anything so it will just basically be meet these guys then dance with them, im really nervous about it!

Does anyone know how i should dance, where to put my hands and how to move?
thanks

Ive noticed that there are hardly any short (knee lenght) wedding dresses are on offer - why do you think this is? - Do you think they are unacceptable?

My fiance and I are paying for our own wedding. We're having our reception at a country club with a specific minimum that we don't want to go over - if any "extra" guests show up then we automatically have to pay about $68/head. So we are trying to keep the guest list under a certain number. I've come across numerous people, mainly just acquaintances, who automatically assume that they are coming. It really puts me in an awkward position when they say "So I'm getting an invite right??" or "I can't wait to go to your wedding!". Frankly I've never made an assumption that I would be a guest at someone's wedding, so I'm a little surprised to see how many people who actually do - especially those that I'm not even good friends with!! I don't mind these people, but again we are on a budget and I'd rather have our money spent on family and good friends. How do you respond to people who have such expectations on you?
