If you’re planning a Sunday wedding on Daylight Savings Weekend, will your guests remember to change their watches & get to your wedding on time?  It is more of a problem in spring (forward) than in the fall (back) as its better for guests to be an hour early than late.  2011 – March 13th & 2012 November 6th.

The V.I.B. (very important bride) can have her own tote to carry all of her wedding planning information and after have a nice Brown and Pink tote to take on the honeymoon.  This Bride Two Tone Tote has embroidery detail.

CASH BAR
While your wedding is not meant to be a “free for all”, nobody likes a cash bar. It’s essentially saying, “pay to celebrate our love”! If your budget is tight, consider pouring lower-priced wine and beer, with top shelf options available for purchase. Another great way to save is ……with a “signature drink” in lieu of a full bar…it’s fun, festive and friendlier on but budget.
