Bridesmaids...should I do it?
Should I give my friends that I want as bridesmaids the chocolate dolls the ask them to be my brideasmaids at the engagement party?
I was going to give them the dolls and card asking them at the end of the night, and then the next week if they respond yes, I want them to attend the bridal expo with me in February. Should I do this? |

Wedding Decoration
... candy buffet jars and decor for engagement party...
I bought my first items for my engagement party!
I bought a set if three apothercary jars for $11.99, a larger jar for $10.99, and a medium size one for $9.99 at Ross. I also bought three candy jars from Hobby Lobby for $4.99 a piece. I also bought two red baskets. My fiancee would not let me buy them until i could tell him a use for them (other thgan matching the colors of our asian them)during the party and after. I can use them to hold napkins and plates, forks, and chopsticks. In one picture there is a heart shaped jar which I will use for pens for the wishing tree. I also lucked upon floating candles and votive candle holders from linens and things. Since they are going out of business, I got 16 floating candles for 1.49 and candle holders for .25 a piece. So excited!!!! |

HELP WITH THEME WORDING...
OK this may be a bit confusing but the engagement party, bridal shower, bachelor/bacherlorette party, and wedding are all a part of on theme.
We are trying to say that our love is the same in every part of the world , no matter how you say it in any language, its love. Maybe : Passport to Love? My inspiriation came from here: http://www.luxuriouswedding.com/worldly_wedding.html Basically our engagement party starts with an Asian theme Bridal shower -France Bachelor/bachelorette-Latin/Hispanic Wedding ties all together with around the world buffet and pics of us at each culture station of us in costumes of each part of the world. What I am asking is that for every invitation that I send out I want to incorporate this into it, (kind of like have a map and with an arrow leaving the U.S. and going to Asia for the engagement party, then it moving to France for the shower etc.) Kind of like telling a story. Like I said before,I dont know how to word it and I want to be able for people to get what I am talking about. Any ideas on how to get this on paper for our invites? |

Wedding Reception
Exploding Balloons.. I want these!
I said no ballons at first when talking about our wedding but I have been seeing these ballons on Rich Bride, Poor Bride and on the internet and think they are great! Its one big ballon that can hang from the ceiling or you can put in four corners of the dance floor(which I will do) and during your first dance or after cake cutting, a remote control sets off the ballons and mini ballons and/or confetti fall out. I dont want the confetti(just in case my venue doesn.t allow it) This will be a surprise for guests.I posted a video of it.
