Ink and Paper Colors
When it comes to ink and paper colors, contemporary wedding invitations offer many more options that traditional elegant wedding invitations. Usually traditional invitations are only in ivory, cream, or white, and the ink is usually black. However, there are virtually no limits when it comes to the paper colors and types for contemporary invitations as well as the colors that are available for wedding invitations that are contemporary in style.
One paper choice that many couples are choosing today is rice paper, which gives a natural look that is environmentally friendly as well. There are a variety of great colors to choose from as well, and you can find paper in almost every shade imaginable, from bright colors to soft pastels. Different colors of ink are available and you can choose different fonts for your wedding invitations as well if you are going for a contemporary look.
Different Presentations
There are some other differences that contemporary wedding invitations have as well, such as the presentation of the invitations. Sometimes couples decide to have an artist create wedding cartoons for the invitations. Also, some invitations actually use pictures of the couples on them, which is a very interesting way to set your invitations apart from others. Another different presentation is scroll wedding invitations. These are invitations that are rolled up like scrolls and actually mailed out in tubes instead of sending them in envelopes.
Of course when you are considering some of these great ideas for contemporary wedding invitations, it is important that you realize that the prices of these invitations are often more expensive than traditional invitations. Sometimes you’ll spend a few dollars more for each invitation, which may not sound like a whole lot, but if you are inviting 250 guests, $3-4 extra per invitation really can add up fast.

The holiday season is a special time of giving thanks (and gifts). Millions of people around the world gather with family and friends to celebrate, reminisce and enjoy one another’s company.
The holiday season is also a time when many couples get engaged. Men propose to the woman they love and want to share the rest of their lives with.
The next step is sharing the wonderful news with family and friends. The question is: how are we going to share our news with so many people? One idea is to send everyone a personalized Save the Date magnet.
Save the Date magnets are also referred to as “refrigerator magnets”; so named for their popularity on refrigerators in just about every household. Not only will your family and friends be thrilled with your wedding engagement, they will also love the unique magnets and surely place them on their fridge, useful for holding important reminders, phone numbers and favorite photos.
Let’s not forget the most important reminder of all, your engagement or wedding date! Everyone will be reminded daily of your engagement or upcoming wedding date.
Not sure exactly when you are getting married? That’s easy, simply state “Date to be Announced” or “Invitations to Follow” on your magnets, right below the future bride and groom’s names.

The term and role “Maid of Honor” is sometimes confusing, and desperately needs some clear definition! When a Bride is choosing who will be her MOH, she needs to think about who will offer her the support, the helping hand, and the positive attitude she will need on her wedding day and the months leading up to it.
Traditionally, a MOH was a female, a sister or close girlfriend of the Bride. In today’s world, a male or ‘Man of Honor” is most welcome, and although his role reversal may be surprising to some guests, he becomes a welcome addition to the Bridal Party! Brides who choose a woman, who is already married as her right hand gal, can refer to her as their “Matron of Honor” although some women don’t like it as it sounds kind of dowdy!
As a MOH, the traditional main roles are:
Offer your assistance to the Bride as she begins her wedding plans. She may need a second opinion when looking at a million wedding dresses, reception locations and flower choices.
Host the bridal shower(s). This involves planning a theme, finding a location, cake, inviting the Bride’s friends, and essentially throwing a “Yay! You’re getting married” kind of party. I recommend that the MOH speak with the Bride’s mother when planning the shower, as she may have some plans of her own. Although the MOH is traditionally in charge of the shower, the other attendants should definitely offer their assistance.
Plan and host the Bachelorette party! Now the fun begins! This is it! Girl’s night out - the last hurrah of a single woman’s life! Talk to the Bride about what she would like to do. Above all, remember, it is HER night. If she does not want to see a male revue, then don’t take her to see one (even if all the other party attendees want to go!)
Be the Bride’s “Girl Friday” on her wedding day. Does she need a drink? Is she nervous? Talk to her, and keep her calm. Don’t stress her out, and don’t strong arm other people who may want to offer the Bride their help as well. You are there to help her, not keep her secluded from all of humanity.
If there is no wedding coordinator present, your role may need to double. You may be needed to run messages back and forth between the Bride and other family members as well as help keep her on schedule. Adjust her veil and dress when she is ready to go down the aisle, and SMILE! When a Bride sees you smiling, it will put her at ease, you have a bigger impact on the day than you know!
Hold the bride’s bouquet during the wedding ceremony.
Help the bride bustle her gown after the ceremony has ended. If a Bride has a particularly tricky bustle, make sure you ask her or her seamstress to provide a map of which hooks go where.
Some more elaborate bustles can have 20 hooks or more!
Make a speech at the reception. Say something witty, yet sentimental and not too long. Keep it upbeat, and look at the Bride and her new husband as you are speaking, remember, you are toasting to them! Please don’t say anything personal or embarrassing, Grandma does not want to hear about her Granddaughter’s deviant behavior from the past!
If you are asked to be a Maid of Honor (or Matron of Honor, if you are married) the best things you can offer a Bride are your support, your time, and yes, your money!
If you are a Bride getting ready to choose your MOH, I suggest throwing conventional etiquette to the side! Ask someone you feel will be supportive, and enthusiastic about your wedding AND your marriage! Discuss with the person you choose what will be expected of them, never assume they already know.
Communication is key.

Why? Well the answer is very simple, because you will kick yourself in the B*TT, everyday if you don’t. When you see you other brides having a beautiful video of their Wedding Day, you’ll wonder why you didn’t. Video isn’t just a quaint little side gimmick any more. Video is an art and a profession. Of coarse there are some bad Videographers, and some inexperienced ones, but I think you have enough common sense to weed those out. Lets concentrate on the Experienced, and Qualified Professionals.
In this day when people are capturing life on video with their cell phones, and I-pods and every other gadget, why would you let the most important moment of your life just slip by and not get it on quality video? “But I have an excellent Photographer and it’s already costing me an arm and a leg.” Well, Videography is generally not as expensive as Photography, for a multitude of reasons which I wont go into here. There are also a few very important differences between video and photography. The most obvious one is that they are not the same. The next one is that one DVD of VHS is a lot easier to carry around to a friends house, or send to a relative in some distant state or country, than your entire wedding album. Also you can copy your DVD or VHS and send it to relatives, where photos you generally don’t get the negatives so you have to go back and have your photographer make you copies for a rather handsome fee. The best reason why Video is so very different from photography I have left for last. Can you take a guess as to what it is? I wont keep you in suspense any longer. The best reason why you really want a video of your Wedding Day is because when you watch your video, it’s like being there all over again. When your spouse is far away and you miss them, when you want to hear yourselves taking your vows again, or when you want to see yourself walking down the isle, you can see it as it really happened. Photos only capture a soundless, emotionless, split second of what happened on your special day. Video captures sound, images, emotion, mood, ambiance, tensions, fears, joys, happiness, sadness, all the emotions of the moment. You don’t need to fill in the blanks with your memory, because there are no blanks.
If a photo is worth a thousand words, than a video must be worth millions of words. I am not saying not to have a photographer at your wedding. I would never be so crazy as to advocate one at the exclusion of another. Even though some photographers do try to talk Brides out of spending on a video so they can get the bride to go for a more expensive photo package. Those are unscrupulous dealers and I hope you can see through their ploy. I believe both Photography and Videography have a useful and legitimate place in your wedding budget and on your wedding day, but going without video is like going without music at your reception, it’s OK, but it could have been better. Do some shopping around, look at some Demo videos, and I’m sure you’ll be convinced that it’s something you really want for the long run, and you’ll get many years of enjoyment out of it. The best part is that as years go by and fashions change, it will be a kick and a hoot to see just how you looked those many years ago. Your kids and grandkids will love it too. No matter what you decide, good luck and be happy.
