Wedding Information

Archive for the ‘Wedding information book’ Category

I bought three books that tell me "how to be a bride," and they also cover others’ roles: the bridesmaids, the mother of the bride, the groom, and more. Is it appropriate to inform these individuals what their traditional wedding roles are so they are not confused? How can I offer this information to my wedding party without sounding ungrateful for their assistance?

A fun and unthreatening way to let people know their duties (or what you expect of them) is to send out a newsletter detailing responsibilities and other wedding planning information. That way, no one will feel as though you’re targeting them. You’re probably right that most people will find it helpful to have responsibilities spelled out — they might not know what they’re supposed to do, and they may feel weird about asking. A newsletter is a cool way to tell them — you’ll have fun putting it together, too! Be sure to include a huge "Thank You" to everyone early in your newsletter — people generally respond better to instructions if they feel appreciated.

http://signaturegrandweddings.com/index.php/about-signaturegrand/35-wedding-tips/49-save-big-without-sacrificing-style

Here is an article by Signature Grand. It’s called "Save Big without sacrificing style" It might help!

On October 3rd it will two years that we been seeing each other, but on June 18 it’s been one year that we have officially been a couple. A few months ago I started to talk about marriage and he was totally okay with it. We agreed on two years. I was going to proposed to him on our one year anniversary, but when he found out he said for me to wait, because he wanted to proposed the right way.

2 weeks ago we started taking about marriage again openly with his family and he told everyone in two years I’ll be his wife. When we go anywhere now and he introduces me has his future wife. We recently went to one of his friends wedding, and when the bride came around to say hi he told her we would soon return the favor with an invite to our wedding. We sat on the table with his god brother, and he told him and his wife that we were starting to plan our wedding.

I went and got an address book ( I have never had one) just to start keeping track of my friends. When he saw the book he started to call it the "wedding book" and when am over his house and a family member comes over he gives them the "wedding book" to get their information. I kinda feel stupid gathering address from family and friends for a wedding when he has yet to proposed. When I ask him if wants to get married seriously he says yes. But when I ask him when are you proposing he say "am waiting for you to propose"

Am so confused, should I proposed? Wait for him to proposed or just let it go? And if I do propose do I buy a ring? And who buys my ring?

do not propose to him. when he’s ready, he’ll ask.

I am getting Married June 11, 2011 and I have the placed booked, my wedding party picked out and colors I want my girls to wear.

I have a couple of friends who I didn’t ask to be in the wedding because they aren’t close friends anymore and I don’t spend time with them frequently because of certain trust issues.

They are immature and like to talk and cause trouble. I had them over Friday night to celebrate my birthday and I filled them in on the date for the wedding. One of them proceeds to say o good I have time to lose weight before the wedding. The way it was said was like she assumed I was going to ask her to be in it.

Now she is starting to send me text messages asking me what color I’m using. I ignored it. I’m fearful to share information with her because she will go back, and chit chat it to the other friend. They are invited to the wedding, but thats it. I don’t need my details all over the place. I know the color of the dresses really isn’t such a big secret, but I don’t think it needs to be discussed with her.

I may be overexaggerating, but I know how they are and I feel those details are on a need to know basis, like with my girls in the wedding party. How can I just avoid the topic with this/these friends?

By the way, we are 26-28 years old. You would think we/they were kids. I’ve just gotten to a point in my life where I don’t trust them and don’t talk to them as much because even if I say one little thing, it gets twisted around, its usually not a bad thing, but its unnecessary "talk" or rumors. Thanks for the advice from anybody out there. Maybe there is somebody in the same boat as I am LOL.

You are very wise!

Info like that should only be on "need to know" basis.

I need to know a couple of things.. On Wedding Invitations most of the books gives you an option for Formal and Informal what is the real difference between those? 2nd is One the Reception card do you need one of those if you are having the wedding and the reception at the same location and can you add your reception information on your actual wedding invitation? Sorry some of these may seem dumb but this is the first wedding that I have had that I am doing somewhat a big wedding and reception. Thank you

I found this…..scroll down to wear it says Formal vs. Informal
http://thechartreusebride.com/2010/01/wedding-invitations/

Formal vs. Informal

So, obviously with a formal wedding invitation, there are a lot of rules to follow. First, the only colors of paper used should be white or cream, and the paper is usually a heavy cotton. There are very specific wordings that are centered on very specific lines.

If the couple is issuing the invitation, here is the wording:

Jane Elizabeth Smith
and
Stephen James Richardson
request the honour of your presence
at their marriage
on Saturday, the ninth of June
two thousand and four
at two o’clock
First Church of Christ
219 North Granby Road
Granby, Connecticut

If the reception in the same location as the wedding…..

Reception immediately following the ceremony
Hopkinton Country Club
1 Country Club Road
Hopkinton, Massachusetts

Reply card enclosed

Hope that helps….

Congrats

Almost everything created privately and originally after April 1, 1989 is copyrighted and protected whether it has a notice or not. The default you should assume for other people’s works is that they are copyrighted and may not be copied unless you know otherwise. There are some old works that lost protection without notice, but frankly you should not risk it unless you know for sure.

Copyright (or ©) is a form of intellectual property which gives the creator of an original work exclusive rights for a certain time period in relation to that work, including its publication, distribution and adaptation; after which time the work is said to enter the public domain. Copyright applies to any expressible form of an idea or information that is substantive and discrete. Some jurisdictions also recognize “moral rights” of the creator of a work, such as the right to be credited for the work.

The intent of copyright is to allow authors to have control of and profit from their works, thus encouraging them to create new works and to aid the flow of ideas and learning.

The Writersâ?? Copyright Association, UK (http://www.wcauk.com), whose sole purpose is to protect literary work is probably the most effective of the organizations out there. They do this all on-line and also offer legal contracts and give away loads of freebies like Final Draft and also The Guerilla Filmmakersâ?? Movie Blueprint.

No matter where you are in the world, you can register your work with:
â?¢ The Writer’s Copyright Association, UK â?? http://www.wcauk.com

The way it works is like this. You visit the WCA website. You upload your work for a small fee (£25 for five years). You are then sent back a unique serial number that you can apply to the front of your work. The WCA records the date of creation and in case of litigation, can provide evidence to this effect.

Do be aware that the WCA does not verify the originality of your work. This is for a tribunal or court to decide (if it ever got that far). If you are planning on sending your work to the States itâ??s advisable that you take out WORLDWIDE registration with the WCA.

Adaptations

You may be interested in adapting a book. Unless the work is in the public domain (public domain is life of author plus 70 years) it is going to be owned by someone. In fact, the authorâ??s estate or beneficiaries may still own every work you think might be in the public domain. If in doubt, check. With clever hunting, one or two phone calls will get you the answer you need.

Protecting Titles

Bad news for you. There is no copyright in a name, title, slogan or phrase. So you canâ??t sue Working Title under the assumption that you own copyright to the â??Four Wedding & a Funeralâ? because you had the idea first. Sorry, pal.

But you may be able to register this as a trademark. The Academy Awards (Oscars) are trademarked, so is Coca-Cola, but most film titles are not. For more information or to register a trademark, visit the Patent office: http://www.patent.gov.uk

However, youâ??ll be interested to know that most US Studios register formal copyrights of their work with the Library of Congress. For more information, visit the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), which was set up to protect and enforce copyright infringement and illegal piracy of film â?? http://www.mpaa.org

Also check out the Library of Congress, where formal copyrights can be registered: http://www.loc.gov/copyright/

Some Final Words

Ok, now you know how copyright all works. Pretty straightforward. But letâ??s sum up:

1. Write your script

2. Register it with the WCA (http://www.wcauk.com)

3. Stop worrying and get on with it.

Ever wonder why you havenâ??t made it yet as a writer? Hereâ??s a key thing to think about: are you stalled in neutral? This is the most common cause. You sit around complaining about the state of the UK film industry instead of actually taking action. Guess whatâ?¦ ITâ??S NOT GOING TO COME TO YOU!!! YOU have to go to it. Change gears, get into drive. Donâ??t get stopped by â??NO!â? You have to work through â??noâ?. Donâ??t make it mean anything.

Most importantly, youâ??ve written your one screenplay and sent it out, got loads of rejections and collected letterhead from all the major players (which youâ??ll no doubt throw back in their face one day). Ask yourself â??are you doing everything you can do to get this out?â? I mean everything? Who are you on the phone to today? Set yourself specific measurable tasks.

Finallyâ?¦ are you still writing? By the time youâ??ve read this article, your project is now old news. Want to be a writer? Write something else. And when youâ??re done with thatâ?¦ get straight on to the next project. Instead of being attached to your workâ?¦ just be committed.

For example, in most countries the law forbids a man or woman from marrying his sister or brother, and a person may not marry his grandmother, and one must be able to understand the nature of marriage and the duties and responsibilities that go with it - in other words be of sound mind. In most countries, a person who is considered a minor must have their parents consent and where the parents are separated, for more details visit to www.profit-pulling-niches.com the parent with whom the minor is living with gives written consent. There are other issues involved when it comes to the marriage of a minor and these rules are there for very good reason.

A marriage is considered valid by the issuing of a marriage certificate and in most Canadian Provinces the department involved in Married Certificates is referred to as “Vital Statistics” which is a Government office. Usually to obtain a Marriage Certificate the couple must apply together at least 24 hours before their wedding unless the time frame is waived because of unusual circumstances.

In most countries there is a time frame as to how long between the issue of a marriage certificate and the wedding. In some areas as per the rules the wedding must take place within three months after the license has been issued. It is important to check out the rules that apply in the Province or State or Country where you are living in order to be clear as to the rules. Laws are different in many other areas and it is important to check these out, for more details visit to www.auto-cons.com if you have a problem you should consult with a Lawyer.

People who live together but are not married are generally referred to as living Common Law and from information that is available the definition of common law seems to be one that has many meanings, for example some laws say that common law partners must live together for a specified period of time before each partner acquires certain rights or responsibilities.

Other laws require that the two must intend to live together in a conjugal relationship and on a permanent basis but do not set out a specific length of time In some Canadian Provinces a common law partner includes couples who have registered their relationship with the Vital Statistics Agency

There are many good books that give excellent advice on these points and a book called “Family Law in Manitoba is one that covers many family issues some of which I have referred to here and is worth obtaining Once again it is important to note that when one is not sure as to what he or she should do, they should contact a Family Lawyer for guidance.

Any couple that has lasted fifty years in a solid marriage deserves an anniversary party.  This is an achievement worth celebrating.  And the best way to highlight a half century of life, love and memories is to showcase photos that tell the couple’s story.  Here are some of the best ways:

Photo Anniversary Invitations

Put your guests in the mood to share the memories with a photo anniversary invitation.  You can scan the anniversary couple’s wedding photo, edit it on your computer, add the what, when and where information, and print it at home.  Or you can leave it to the professionals and order your photo anniversary invitations online.  If you choose this option, look for a company that has designs you like and can add both their wedding picture and a current one.  Shop around the internet a little and you’ll find beautiful photo invitations at very reasonable prices.

Photo Anniversary Favors

A small gold frame with the happy couple’s wedding photo makes an elegant memento of the occasion.  You could also pick up some pocket 4×6 photo albums available at dollar stores and craft stores, then fill them with copied or photocopied pictures from the couple’s life.

How about photo anniversary bookmarks as keepsakes for your guests?  It’s something everyone can use, is inexpensive, and can also contain both the wedding photo and a current one.  Order these online and you might find a company that offers photo bookmarks that match the design to their photo invitations for a coordinated look.  Just do some browsing, and you’ll find photo coasters, magnets, pocket mirrors, notebooks and just about everything else imaginable.

Photo Anniversary Decorations

For a no-fuss, easy way to extend your photo theme, set up a photo table at the anniversary party.  On the table, place the couple’s old wedding album and lots of family photo albums.  Your guests will enjoy looking through them.

To take it a step further, make copies or photo copies of photos that represent important stages in the couple’s life together.  On large posterboard or foam board, make a collage from the photos and display.

Or you can make enlargements of those significant photos, anything from 8×10 to poster size, depending on your budget, and hang them from wide gold ribbons.  Place them around the room in chronological order for a stunning exhibition of their 50 years together.

Another fun idea is to make photo placemats for the tables.  Make a collage from copies of photos and have a print shop enlarge it to placemat size.  They will then print and laminate the placemats.

Photo Anniversary Cakes

If you want a great finale to the evening, a cake with the couple’s wedding picture is a real show stopper.  The photo is imprinted onto the icing with safe, tasteless food dyes.  You should be able to find a local bakery that offers these cakes.  Speaking of desserts, you can also find photo cookies and photo chocolates using the same method, and they are available online.

Photo Anniversary Memory Book

No fiftieth anniversary party should end without a heart-felt gift for the couple.  And one of the most meaningful gifts is a scrapbook filled with their memories.  Ask everyone who attends the party to contribute.  Give each person or couple a page to fill out.  Keep the size of the page small, either a 6×6 or 8×8 album page is good.  Instruct them to add a photo that the anniversary couple might not have in their possession.  Then ask them to write a personal message under the photo.

To make it even easier, add photo corners to the page, so they can just pop in their photo.  And instead of asking them to think up a few words, give them a “fill in the blank”.  Some examples would be, “I’ll never forget when Bill and Jean____” or “my fondest memory of Bill and Jean was when ____”.  You can mail them the blank pages before the party and have them bring them to the event.  Or you can ask them to bring a photo and fill out the page at the party.  Not everyone will cooperate, but you’ll still get a lot of great responses.  And the anniversary couple will be profoundly touched by this memory book prepared with so much love and affection.

Fill their 50th anniversary with photos.  Your guests will be delighted as they walk down memory lane.  And the happy couple will have the chance to relive those precious moments that made up their lives together.  It’s a chance for everyone to reminisce and a wonderful way to celebrate such a monumental occasion.
