imagrits101 asked:


ok, so i am trying to think if some ideas to decorate Votive candles for my wedding. These candles will go into “goodie” bags for our guests. I dont want them to look “tacky”, but i do want to do something simple, and cheap (but i dont want them to look cheap). Does anyone have any ideas?
ok, so heres the thing, the votive candles that i have are NOT “cheap made” nor are they “cheap looking”, so with that being said, i also watch for sales, but want to do something different. I dont want to do something EVERYONE has done. I didnt want to use pillar candles etc. (sorry for the ones who have left, or are going to leave nice comments) but there are some people who are just rude.

Wedding Troubles. Please can you help?

Fiery Bride asked:


Hello, this is a long one but PLEAAASSSSE help if you can.

More than anything I want a big, white wedding, a dress, bridesmaids, hotel reception, flower centrepieces, wedding gifts etc. But my Mum and Dad are divorced and I CANNOT have them in the same room. I know a lot of people will say “just talk to them, they’ll be civil for one day!” But they WON’T. My mum’s husband threatened to kill my Dad as did my Mum’s bro. My Dad has hated my Nan for as long as I can remember, and my Dad tried to stop them from seeing me as a child. Both families have punched each other, smashed each others windows and slashed each others tyres and my Dad even has a stab wound.

So I HAVE TO ELOPE, there is no other way. I can’t invite one without the other, and so I shall have to elope just me and my partner. This is making me depressed for two reasons:

1. My partners parents wont get to see him get wed
2. I really want the wedding i’ve always dreamed of.

What can I do? It’s hopeless
PS: Please don’t say to just marry infront of my partners parents – if my family find out they’ll say “oh we wont argue for one day” but on the day they definitly will.

I recently just got engaged to the man of my dreams but now planning this wedding is stressing me out lol

So far, we’ve decided to have the actual ceremony at the Courthouse. I currently don’t have a relationship with my family so I really don’t have anyone to invite except like 3 people lol so that’s going save us some money there.

Then for the reception, we wanted to do a Backyard BBQ. My fiances’ aunt is willing to let us use her backyard. We live in an apartment now and there’s no room for a party. Plus his aunt has a pool! So, I figured we could have: Hamburgers, Cheeseburgers and Hot dogs. Steamed Crabs (Maybe). But then we would also have pasta salad, potato salad, broccoli salad along with chips and dip and things like that. But should I throw another meat in there, like chicken or something?

Then for desert, I was thinking about getting a wedding cake, salt water taffy, fudge, jelly belly jelly beans and fishers popcorn.

We will have a mixture of adults and kids, so I am trying to make sure all guests will be happy.

Oh. I almost forgot about the drinks lol. I am thinking that we should get Jose Cuervo Tequila (me and the groom like this ;-) ) but then also some Bacardi Rum, Captain Morgan and then 2 Types of wine. Probably Arbor Mist Strawberry (My Favorite) and Skip Jack or something like that. Then I also thought about getting beer. But should I get a KEG? Also have coke, diet coke and such.

We’re getting married on 8/9/10 but the reception won’t be until 8/28/09. I’m figuring no more than 150 (and that’s overestimating alot lol) people should attend. But I’d rather be way over in my estimates than way off.

Also, how much food should I buy? Is there a rule of thumb on this?

Any and all ideas are welcome.

Thanks everyone ;-)
Juice Boxes! Awesome Idea. I didn’t even think of those.

See, I thought we needed another meat too. I’d love to do crabs but not everyone likes picking crabs.

Will have to look into vegetarian options too.
Keep em coming!! Love all the ideas and suggestions so far! Thanks guys!
