Q&A: What is the purpose of the tissue in invitations, do I really need it in my invitation?
Years ago, when formal invitations were written with quill and ink (and then when the printing press was invented), a piece of thin paper similar to modern tissue paper was placed on top of the invitation to prevent ink smudging. This practice continued well after new printing processes were invented and there was actually no need for the tissue. Currently, you may still see some formal…

Weddings are expensive, any couple knows that regardless of what decade they got married. If you compare the average wedding in 2004 was $28,700 to the what no seems outrageous $50,000 in 2009 you can see what a healthy industry weddings are.
But mine, is not to question whether $50,000 is an astronomical amount. If we, as a society, are guilty of promoting the "wedding" over the…

The person who will give the wedding toast is usually selected before the reception and agreed upon by the bride and groom. Impromptu toasts can be hilarious but are not always in good taste and can even bring a blush to the couples face. If you are the person chosen to give the official toast, handling the situation with dignity is always the best approach.
To avoid mishaps or embarrassment to yourself and the couple, it is a good idea to take a couple of minutes to handwrite your…

The short answer is - no but again, there are always exceptions to the rule.
Wedding planning software is just a packaged version of the tools already available on your own computer at home. The software ranges in price from $50 to $500 dollars and there are as many good versions as their are rip-offs. Like with most software available on the internet -unless it comes from a…

Printing solids with any printing method always raises special issues that must be addressed. In letterpress printing there are some unique ones.
One of the most notable issues is the ink coverage. The solid area may appear somewhat mottled since the Crane's Lettra paper we use is unsized, making the paper softer to take a better impression. When paper is sized, as most papers are today, it will receive ink more evenly, since the sizing acts like a coating on the…

"Please Respond By" is almost always added to RSVP cards, largely because your Caterer will require a nose-count at some point prior to your reception, and you will probably have to pay for that number of guests - even if they fail to show!
Generally we recommend that you learn what your Caterer's deadline day is, and then track back 7 - 10 days. This gives you (or your coordinator) a chance to call errant guests that haven't mailed their RSVP by the requested date.

How to receive great Wedding Pictures:
- Spend your budget on making your theme look rich, and not cheap; your dress, his tux, your wedding party's attire, small and condensed bouquets, table toppers, a good photographer and DJ, as well as a limo, should top your list.
- Avoid using "picnic" snacks, room decorations and expensive itinerery; an elegant table will say volumes rather than a cheap standing flower arrangement.
- Choose deep true colors for bridesmaids' dresses and…
