Anniversary
1st year traditions
I have been MIA for quite some time. However, now is the time for me to begin thinking about anniversary plans, and well....I am stuck. When you ask ppl who are not married, married but love to party, or divorced ppl what to do, their reply is always to have an anniversary party. Well, I had the wedding that I wanted, and enough planning as I can take. What would WBC suggest? I know there are a lot of brides out there already thinking about it. Please respond with any useful ideas or suggestions.

Ice sculptures
Memorial Sculpture
So my demand for ice sculptures was out of this world. I had to have a sculpture that tied into the Cinderella theme, and of course when my husband isn't working he likes to take a nice long sip on a beer, hence the groom's ice sculpture. But, the ice sculpture that meant the most to me was the memorial ice sculpture for my father and nephew that died in a house fire last year. These together really set the tone for my wedding, and I am still getting compliments on how beautiful my day was. Leave a note and tell me if any of you are using ice sculptures.

Wedding Decoration
Pink fantasy
The reception decor was absolutely magical. My decor was inspired by Preston Bailey's pink fantasy at the Waldorf Astora. I sort of changed the theme to fit my budget, but overall it definitely works. What do you think? Does this theme fit with the Cinderella feel?

Wedding Cake
Gorgeous Wedding Cake
My wedding cake was absolutely gorgeous! It was better than I could have ever imagined. There were several layers to the cake as you can see. My cake topper was a castle. The cake was delicious. Here are a few photos. The groom's cake is also included. The groom's cake was two 10" square dice. The dice were chocolate with pink dots.

Ask a Question
How to invite everyone
Okay, so I have been all over the school system in my local area; and have met a lot of people.....but my budget will not allow all of those people. The wedding date is nearing, and people are asking where are their invitations. How should I include these people in the reception? I really want to accommodate up to 500 people, but the more I see, the more I see that I have not invited. How do I handle this situation? I am a rather friendly person, but I know my budget will not accommodate the entire parish, so how can I invite some, but tactfully let the others know they are not invited. Please advise!

Favors
Great idea from coordinator
I am so excited! I have been updating my blog all morning because I had a very productive weekend. I met with the coordinator who will be creating my favors. I am not sure what her title would be, but I just say that she is amazing. I am having a fairytale wedding titled, "Dreams Do Come True". So, I have been emphasizing the carriage throughout the wedding for all of my decor and accessories including the invitations. Well yesterday, she introduced to me an idea that I wanted to incorporate; however, had put on the back burner. She suggested that we create little pillows with "Sweet Dreams"....."Dreams Do Come True". She will also put our names and wedding date at the bottom of our pillows. These will be for the guest to hang in their car or somewhere as a lasting memory. Great idea to anyone who is thinking of last minute wedding detail.

Reception table settings
Tacky or not
My reception is going to be filled with pink drama. The tables will be adorned with white floor length table linens, and champagne and pink overlays. The centerpieces will be pink. Because the chair covers and table cloths would be white, I wanted to incorporate white into the place settings. I have found these gorgeous china patterns for the bridal party; however, I am thinking of going with a high grade plastic for guest. The entire reception is not a seated meal, and there will be guest that will be mingling while eating. I didn't want the china to get destroyed. As you can see from the photos, they have the same simple design; however, the pictures show two differnt sizes. Thus creating a wider or smaller band. Each place setting will be topped with a gold carriage wedding favor, and sat upon a gold charger. Does this add a certain degree of tackiness, or will this idea be okay? Please advise!

Question?
Reception Lighting
I am creating an elaborate design on a shoestring budget. The one thing that my budget does not allow for is lighting because of the price. Does anyone know where I can get any lighting or effects for my wedding. I have heard of the lighting cubes, but have not been successful in finding them. I have also seen the fiberoptic light, but what about lighting for a ceiling backdrop? Please advise if anyone knows of any internet or local sites with quick response.
