My fiance and I are concerned about having alcohol at our wedding...

Cons
We are not planning to drink more than a glass or two ourselves
We both have relatives who are either recovering alcoholics or might drink too much
We are holding our reception at a place with an exclusive beverage contract and even just wine and beer are very expensive

Pros
People are more likely to dance
People are more likely to stay late

We don't think it's important to have alcohol for ourselves, but we don't want people to go home early when we're spending money on a reception hall!

Any advice?

Also, any suggestions for non-alcoholic beverages to pair with Italian food? Any creative suggestions?

Will a priest marry a couple if they do not want to have a "wedding," just so that it can be under God...what if they are married by a judge first?

How many gems do you think I will need to fill (shallow-ly) the bottoms of the low 6" glass bowls for my reception? I'm ordering the 9/16" size, 96 pcs per pound.
Thanks.

My husband and I have been married for 7 years, and we had nothing big for our wedding. We just got married quietly, and in front of the justice of the peace. Our Anniversary is coming up in Feb 2008, and we would like to have a big wedding type party but we are already married. We would like all our friends and family to be present this time. I don't know if I should renew my vows?? As that costs money too. Back to the party, I really want to have a party but the only thing is , I do not know what to call the party?? Any suggestions?? One suggestion I got was "Wedding renewal" PLEASE HELP!! And give me any suggestions!!

Thank you

Isnt it just asking for more gifts. this is what my sister-in-law thinks. Or is it for people who cant come to the wedding? Can someone please tell me the reason for a wedding shower, and possible the history? Thanks

OK, so of course we have some rude individuals who have not RSVP'd for whatever reason (lost the RSVP, too lazy, or just plain rude).

I want to send out a postcard to nicely request them to freaking RSVP and that if they do not, we will consider them a "no" and there will be no seating for them on our big day.

Something like "Did you forget to RSVP? Please let us know, by phone, email, or a postal letter/postcard, if you intend on attending our wedding on **date time and location**. Non respondents will be considered a "no" for attendance."

Or something like that.

Yes? No? I think it sounds a little catty, but they are being the rude ones (or forgetful). I basically want something that reminds those forgetful to RSVP, and those rude enough to not RSVP to either let us know ASAP, or will be considered "No" for attendance.

If not, do you have a better way to ask? Thanks a bunch!

have to say yes? She lives an hour from me and we do not see each other than 2-3 times per year at family occasions. We rarely even talk or email. I don't care for her immediate family either and would not look forward to dealing with them. Can I let her know I just don't think we are that in touch or that I don't have the money (which is true)? Help!

Daughter and her fiance are talking about doing this.....I had never heard of it; go on a 7 day cruise but for 3 of those days you have your family there and that is when you actually get married....??? doesn't sound right to me to have family 'along' on the honeymoon.......

I am getting married in June in a beautiful, old-fashioned chapel with red carpeting and pews. The reception is outdoors behind a white mansion. I am trying to decide what colors would be best for the wedding. I do not want red bridesmaid dresses (I'll probably choose light blue). I either want to incorporate the red into my wedding colors or make sure the wedding colors do not clash with red. Here are my ideas:

1. Light blue and white (maybe silver or gold accents) -- bouquets would be monochromatic mixed blues
2. Light blue and deep red (bouquets would be red roses with white accent flowers and light blue ribbon)
3. English garden theme -- Light blue with wildflower bouquets (blue, purple, yellow, white, and pink)

What do you think of the above ideas? Or do you have any other beautiful suggestions? Thanks!

I think it is.

My sister got divorced last year, and is probably going to get married to another guy she met 6 months ago (her 3rd marriage).

She had big ceremonies for her first 2 weddings (10 years ago, and 4 years ago). I don't think it's appropriate for someone to invite a whole bunch of people for yet another wedding -- especially when most of us have to fly across the country again to go. I actually think it's selfish, since it's very expensive to fly out for several days. I spent well over $1000 dollars flying out to her last wedding in New York City (I'm in Los Angeles) in 2003 with the airfare, food, hotel etc, which I couldn't really afford.

The problem is that people will feel uncomfortable not going, or going, it's sort of a lose-lose situation. I think having a big ceremony for your 3rd wedding is sort of a joke, and disrespectful.

I think for your 3rd wedding it should be the bride, the groom, and a minister or judge, and that's pretty much it. Any thoughts?

I just got engaged and one of the first things I want to figure out is what colors I want for the wedding. I have a few ideas but having problems coming up with accent colors.

Navy with sunflower yellow?

I want to try to stay away from blacks or browns..i want a summer feel to it.

thanks so much!!

the past 12 or so weddings that I been to no bride toss the bouquet (its degrading to females) and I also will not do so. I was wondering if anyone still throws a bouquet and if so, why?

They are all beautiful and their bodies are all very different....some are skinnier, some a little thicker, some have big chests, some have wider hips etc.

I was thinking about picking the color for the dresses, for example, for example, lilac, but rather than having them all wear the same exact lilac dress that might not flatter their figures, I was thinking of picking out a dress for each girl in that exact same color. That way, they would all match and they wouldn't be uncomfortable w/ the style of their dress.

Have you ever seen something like this? Did you like it? How did it look, especially in pictures and stuff. I was thinking then maybe to make them the same...have something like a matching hair clip or jewelery that would at least make them the same.

What do you think?

My fiance is Mexican and wants to do the lasso. It's just like a big Rosary that goes around both the bride and groom to symbolize the joining of the two into one.

I really wanted to have the unity candle, but it really means the same thing. I can sacrifice it if it's going to look redundant, what do you think?

Please let me know if you think the someone would be able to change the straps on the first dress to look more off the shoulder like the straps of the second dress.

I am planning my wedding for summer 2009. I really like the chocolate look to it. However I dont want it to look too dark though. I found chocolate tableloths, and I was thinking of doing brown seatcovers OR white seat covers with brown ties. For the centrepieces I want to do small square yet semi-tall vases for abt 5 rust-orange roses tied with either orange or brown ribbon. For the bridesmaids i was thinking of doing brown cocktail typre dresses with rust-orange calla lillies and as for myself I will be wearing a champaigne/ivory coloured wedding gown and my bouquet will consists of 7 long stemmed large white calla lillies. My invivtations are simple in ecru coloured with calla lilies as border. I will be having a cake done by my friends mom who does this for living. I want a mocha flavour cake, with a thin chocolate spread over the entire care. This wedding is planned for 250 people.Could anyone give me their ideas..or any thoughts or changes that would be necessary? Thanks.

My fiance and I would love a bridal/wedding shower or an engagement party -- not for the presents, just for the fun and celebration. Unfortunately, none of our families/friends are the types to throw parties -- they just aren't the type to think of it. We don't have a big wedding party and our honor attendants are all out of town, too -- so none of our local friends or relatives have a "title" that would hint to them that it's their responsibility.

Is there a good way way to hint that we would love for someone to throw us a party? Is it poor form if we directly ask his parents? (They would be the most likely candidates....) Should we just expect to throw ourselves our own engagement/shower/bachelorette shindigs? I hear about these expensive spa trips and crazy bridal themes...we really don't want the pricey stuff...just a little get-together so we can take a break from all the planning and feel like our love is celebrated.
