Depending on where you live in the country, hints of spring might be whispering on the wind. These custom designed Pink & Grey Cherry Blossom wedding invitations are perfect for a spring time wedding.
Earlier this week, I came across some beautiful wedding pictures. The bride and groom live on Honeybee Ln., so that was an element woven throughout the wedding. There was even a shot of individual honey jars that were being handed out as favors, just like the ones below. What a fun addition to any wedding or shower!
As digital media evolves and becomes an even more integral part of our daily lives, the rules are changing for how we communicate with each. This is as true in the wedding industry as it is with everything else in life. When the Queen of England faxes Save The Date notes all around the world for the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, you know times have changed.
Wedding Invitation Do's:
- Do allow plenty of time. Plan enough time in your schedule to carefully address, assemble, and mail your invitations.
- Do get organized. Develop a system for addressing and mailing your invitations. Prepare by gathering the names and addresses of everyone on your guest list. Arrange each piece that goes into an invitation in a stack, in the order it will be picked up, assembled, and inserted into the envelope.
- Do ask for help. Invite friends, family or bridal attendants to help assemble invitations
- Do use the names of all guests when possible. It is much warmer and more welcoming to use the correct names of those who will accompany your guests on invitations instead of "and guest."
- Do use Correct Titles. It's flattering when invitations are addressed correctly. This means using appropriate titles and spelling names correctly. When in doubt, ask before addressing.
Wedding Invitation Don'ts:
- Don't forget to include any appropriate inserts, such as maps, directions or hotel information for out-of-town guets.
- Don't include registry or gift information with your invitation. It is in poor taste to insert a list of places where the bride and groom are registered or a checklist of the things they want and don't want.
- Don't use a standby guest list. When possible, invite your entire guest list at the same time rather than waiting to see how many people accept before sending out a second round of invitations. When the guest list is carefully planned, and when you consider the likelihood that 10-20 percent of invited guests typically send regrets, this approach is much more straightforward than using a standby list.
- Don't address invitations with labels. Always address wedding invitation envelopes by hand, even when inviting hundreds of guests.

Deciding which song you and your brand new spouse should dance to for your first dance as husband and wife can be a tough choice. First of all, you want it accurately reflect your relationship and love for each other. Then there's the fact that you both have to agree on the song. And perhaps most importantly, the song you choose has to be easy to dance to! There's nothing more awkward then trying to dance in front of a crowd to a song that perfectly sums up your feelings but has no dance-friendly rhythm.
Valentine's Day is just around the corner and romance is in the air. As a matter of fact, here at Be In Love Designs, it seems romance is in the air every day. And it makes sense, seeing as how the company was born out of a love story and how it is invited into many more love stories on a daily basis. Creating custom designed wedding invitations is about so much more than just letting people know the date of a wedding. It is about getting to know a couple, creating a design that truly represents them and being invited into their love story. So yes, sometimes every day feels like Valentine's Day around here.
With the Super Bowl coming up this weekend, it seemed like the perfect time to feature some inspiration for a Sports Theme Wedding.
With Valentine's Day just around the corner, red and white and hearts are all over the place. They also take center stage (along with gun metal gray) in these custom designed Cross Your Heart Wedding Invitations.
