A Helen G Oh No Trend!!!

Some Jamaican brides of late have been of late inviting everyone to the church and some to the reception, I am not talking just a family dinner but a full-blown reception. What is your take on that?

My take if you can’t invite me to everything dont invite me at all. Dont make it seem as though some guests are more important than others. If you can only afford to invite 10, 40, 50 60 that’s it. But to issue a church only invite in my opinion is just plain rude.

Whats your take?

Guest Book Ideas

No longer are we using just the standard traditional guest book, brides today are looking for different and creative ideas. Below are a few:

1. Stones or River rocks sometimes in the wedding coloured that guests can write on placed in a clear glass container

2.  For a budget friendly idea, different colour post its possibly in your wedding colours tht guests can write their wishes mounted

3. Cards hung from a tree branch or on a wire between two trees

4. If the budget allows guests can have their messages videotaped during the cocktail hour

5. Photo guest book

6. Message in bottle guest book

The Skinny on The Rehearsal Dinner

Some rehearsal dinners are so lavish and the guest list is so large that it rivals the wedding itself, other are casual and family focused and are budget friendly, whatever route you go if you are having a rehearsal dinner the following information can assist you to make some serious decisions:

Who Pays? Traditionally the grooms parents, but given the economy today, other family members sich as grandmothers and aunts help foot the bill.

Who Should Attend? Anyone at the wedding rehearsal plus significant others. Some couples especially destination brides invite out of town guests also.

When Should They Be Invited? At least 2 weeks ahead of  the date and please do request rsvp’s

Where? Anywhere from a private home to a restaurant. Just be sure its close to the rehearsal site.

Decor? Thats really up to you. But you can have some simple arrangements added to tables or you can be as lavish as you want.

Time? Arrange to wrap up early instead of partying all night. A hung over bridal party does not look good in wedding photos. For example the last wedding we did a bridesmaid got  badly burned in her chest from drinking some volcano shot drink at a rehearsal dinner. The photographer spent huge amounts of time trying to edit the bandage from the burn from the pictures.
