Hey Mr DJ!

July 16, 2008 | 6 Comments

So last night we met our DJ for the first time. He managed to arrive extremely early, which meant that I was still cooking (read as: warming up last night’s schnitzel and microwaving two potatoes) and so I was therefore a tad frazzled. However, he seemed nice and at least he wasn’t late (I abhor lateness), so we sat down with his massive folder of cds and started chatting about what we wanted.

So far some of the people we have told we are not having any alcohol at our wedding, have given us a mouthful. Isn’t it suppose to be our choice if we want alcohol on our big day?

Now they had the time of thier lives….

Eat your centrepieces

May 31, 2008 | 2 Comments

Who ever said that eating the centrepieces was not proper wedding etiquette? I think this is a fab idea. The centrepieces wont go to waste, and you can even save a few bucks skipping the starter or combing your centrepiece into favours.

Edible wedding centerpieces are especially great if you are planning to let your guests be seated while you are having your photos taken. A lot of couples like to do this as it keeps the guests from getting bored. You can let them nibble on the centrepiece while they await your grand entrance. Just let them know that they can dig in by placing little cards on their place setting or nominating a family member to spread the word.

Personalised Wine Bottles

How about having personalised wine bottles on your tables instead of standard ones? I found this idea on a US site, and when I googled, I managed to find a great local (yes South African) site that does the labels for you and you choose the wine you want it on. How great is that?

Now here’s the best part…

Sparklers for your wedding

May 19, 2008 | 3 Comments

We had sparklers for our wedding, and we asked our guests to light them during our first dance. It looked stunning and I managed to find really nice ones that were about half a metre long. The little “Spur” sparklers were no good. I got a whole pack and they burnt out before they started going, so they’re sitting in my kitchen draw.

The only thing I found with the sparklers is that I couldnt find a nice way to display them, being so big, they really would look completely out of place on the tables.
