TIP TUESDAY: Adult Only Wedding!

April 24, 2012 By Leave a Comment

I recently had a bride email me the following:  “So we are going to have some kids at our wedding after all.  I made it clear to people that it was going to be an adults only wedding, but people decided to invite their kids anyway.  It’s been a bit of eye-opening experience, especially because one person confronted me head-on about the babies thing (‘We can’t bring our kids?  What is up that?  What am I supposed to do?’).  I was so shocked that I basically caved right then and there.”

Last week, Mommy ordered her shower invites since we were in a time crunch.  If we had more time, we would have made our own using PowerPoint.  To cut costs, we could print on card stock or take them to Kinko’s for some quick printing.

TIP TUESDAY: Kids or No Kids?

February 28, 2012 By Leave a Comment

So it seems that some people are so excited to have the children in their extended family at their wedding and have a ton of flower girls and ring bearers, even finding new jobs for children, like holding up signs during the ceremony saying “Please turn off your cell phones”.

This is certainly a good attitude and makes for great photos and some memorable moments during the ceremony and great dancing photos at the reception.
