I am thinking hard about my wedding. I have only just got engaged and we have not set a date for the wedding yet but I am so excited that I just want to plan everything now. We have already discussed the idea of western weddings and so at least that has been sorted out. I think it is all the small details that will be difficult because they will not be something that my fiancé will be interested in at all. I have been thinking about invitations the most as I assumed that they would be the thing to do first. I found some nice blank wedding invitations that I could print the insert for. However, I then realised that I would need a date and venue organised and so they have been pushed to the back of my mind for now. I have been given some lovely wedding unity candles by a close friend and so those are one thing that I do not have to worry about. I have just been brainstorming a list of other things to do and there is so much what with the venue, registrar, bridesmaids, grooms men and best man there is also outfits, cars, flowers, food, drink, speeches, rings, guest-list, invites, favours, cake and then of course the honeymoon! I think I will need a good holiday half way through planning it let alone waiting until the end!

Sunday, August 9th, 2009If you want to make a personal statement through your wedding invitation card, then a customized card designed by you is the only way out.

Baby Shower Gifts
Saturday, May 2nd, 2009I went to a lovely shop the other day helping my friend choose bits and pieces for her baby shower. She was just looking for some decorations and some baby shower favors. We found some lovely ones in a craft shop and are now trying to think of what to put inside them. They had some beautiful things in the shop and I think we must have been in there for hours, looking through everything and we found some beautiful things that we can use to wrap up the baby shower gifts that we are going to be giving to all of the children that will be going.
We just thought that we had seen everything when we found another little room out the back of the shop where there were fabulous beads and other things for making jewellery. It helped us decide to get some and make some bead necklaces to go in the favors. We also found some bridal shower favors which were so pretty that we almost bought those instead of the baby shower ones that we had chosen earlier!
