Wedding Ideas - Invitations

Just like everything else, it is beyond easy to spend a lot on wedding invitations. There's folds and bows and inserts and rsvp cards and on and on and on.

First, keep it simple. I have been to numerous weddings and couldn't recall what a single invitation looks like. That's not what people remember, so make sure you pick something that you like and gets the job done. Other than that, you don't need the fancy shmancies unless you have the budget for it.

Second, go to Google and search for "discount wedding invitations". You'll find tons of legitimate websites that have designer invitations on sale.

Third, do you need an rsvp card? Think about it. The rsvp card adds an extra printed piece of paper, an envelope and a stamp. This is a huge expense. If you are comfortable having your guests rsvp on your wedding website, then by all means do it! Get creative with it too. On your invitations you could put something like, "We've gone green! In lieu of rsvp cards, please let us know whether or not you can attend by filling out the form on our website." Now who could argue with going green?

Hiring A Professional Organizer Is Good For..

Getting Organized. Well, this is their expertise.

Saving Time. Being organized means you can find things faster and do things more efficiently.

Saving Money. You know how you couldn't find that thing that you knew you already bought, so you had to go out and purchase it again? Being organized eliminates that.

An Objective View. Since they're on the outside looking in, so to speak, organizers can see the bigger picture and offer interesting solutions.

A Nonjudgmental Opinion. Organizers have seen it all and understand the intensity and emotion that comes with clutter. Remember, they are there to help you, not to criticize you.

Following Through. You know when you try to organize something and get stuck in the process? A professional organizer will lead you through the project to the very end.

Learning Organization. Doing hands on work with an organizer is a great way to learn the how of getting organized.

Teaching Organization. Take what you learn from your hands on sessions with an organizer and pass it on to friends and family members. They'll be grateful!

Wedding Ideas - Hiring a Photographer

The pictures are all you have left after the wedding is over, and trust me, it all happens really fast. That being said, quality is a major factor when choosing a photographer but that doesn't mean you have to spend a crazy amount of money.

The MOST important factor is the connection between the photographer and you and your spouse-to-be. If you are uncomfortable or don't like the photographer in any way, it will show in the pictures so don't settle.

Now that being said, you can choose an experienced photographer who takes quality photographs that you are comfortable with and still save money...
