Frequently Asked Files by alliecarrie41

Don't you feel like you get asked the same things over and over again on the boards? You want to help a fellow knottie, but are too lazy to search through your pictures and files and folders to get what they are looking for? Well, I do... so here are my "FAFs" that I hope might be useful for you with your planning. GL! ~alliecarrie41 |
Catholic Program - this is my program. It is a style called "church-fold" which means it's one 8.5X11 page folded so it meets in the middle. I had a mass (and no, there is no such thing as a "full mass" it's either a mass or it isn't) and no 'extras' (unity candle, flowers to Mother Mary, etc.) so here you have it. Double-sided, printed on linen cardstock, folded, glued ribbon around the middle a bit off-center, then tied with raffia. It was a bit of an ordeal, but I love them. Supplies from Michaels.
Jewlery - what did you wear with your dress? I wore Maggie Sottero Rhianna Royale in champagne/light gold. It's not the easiest color to match. Most pearls will not match, don't even try. I lucked out since my DH bought me a beautiful blingy necklace that I sported in gold, champagne/citrus, clear/diamond.
Water Bottle Labels - I would up not doing these, but created just in case. Monograms are easily made in PowerPoint. Don't waste money getting one made; you can do it and it's so much more fun and meaningful when you DIY! Menu Card - printed on left-over stationary from my invitations so everything matched! Invitations - "two thousand and or no and?" "at four o'clock or no at?" "honour/honor?" Etiquette and personal preference play a role in your invitations; here was my take.
STDs - Vistaprint baby. Customize them for a few bucks extra and make them yours. Search online for 80% off or similar coupons... they save more than the "free" offers. Large-size magnets fit perfectly into standard card envelopes, and with a small insert still weigh in under the regular stamp price. Did my photoshare cards and direction card inserts through here as well with same monograms. (image2) (image3)
DJ/Music - to play or not to play? I had a very particular thing going on for my wedding, so I didn't allow as much artistic freedom as most. Here was my list.
POTF - wrote myself, personal info ommitted. You can use as template but I highly recommend writing your own as well... again, making the ceremony and wedding YOUR OWN is very important.
Bridal Shower Bingo & Triva - created and used for my friend's wedding. Personalize and make your own.
