Additionally, in Khartoum all the wedding venues (which are only that, giant halls where they hold weddings and nothing else) provide the food, and there's no guesswork about it - each hall has a meal they prepare, and that's what you get. I think you pay by the amount of plates you want (say 200), and the…

My mom ordered napkins with our names and our wedding date embossed in gold on them. Very elegant and fancy. She ordered. So. Many. The wedding was in 2006 and I still have them (I mostly use paper towels for every day eating because I'M FANCY LIKE THAT, and save napkins for company). But now I'm divorced and…
Sometimes it works out — I did this with stamps. I ordered a set of stamps from the USPS website and counted wrong and accidentally doubled the order. I was so mad at myself because I was really watching my dollars at that point in the process and it was a lot of money. However, once I stuffed all the invites I…
I almost couldn't read this article. I still have so much anger over my wedding invites.
I feel your pain...For My 3rd Wedding (let's not judge ...you don't know Me) I had to have pockets made into My Bridal Dress....so I could carry My Glock 42 just in case My First Husband got out of Jail early.

I think there are still benchers from my brother's bar mitzvah floating around at my mom's house. He's getting married in June. XD
I'm actually surprised that anyone showed up to my wedding because I have no idea how most of them got their invitations. Let me back up, my husband is from India, and it is pretty much standard to invite every single family member no matter how distant to a wedding (third cousin twice removed included). Now of…
So I wanted to design my own invitations. And we were being frugal so I went to some website and designed and ordered my own cards myself. I was really into having this be MY thing. Iwas going to get them just like I wanted and I really played with formats and got creative. My partner gave me full reign and I didn't…
My mom threw us a reception for like 30 people since we eloped. She had custom matchbooks and napkins made.
When we got married 21 years ago, there were not a lot of home computers or printers. My fiance (now husband) was finishing art school, and insisted he could make the invitations and print them at his fancy school. He had to have handmade, acid-free paper ordered from Seattle (we were in L.A.) which he then…
My fantastic friends helped me make approximately 80 burlap-wrapped invitations. They all came out wonderful and no one fought.
The invitations to my November 2001 wedding were mailed on September 10, 2001. The wedding venue? Windows on the World.
I am going to share this and hope to god that no one reads it and knows who I am. It's too perfect not to share.
This didn't happen to me exactly, but it's still pretty awesome. So my aunt was getting married (c.1982), a few years before I existed, and her wedding color was a light mauve. She picked out nice mauve invitations with dark text which were surprisingly elegant considering it was the early 80s. She gave them to her…
Sara Gilbert and Linda Perry have a new baby boy!
