Congratulations! You’re Engaged!

Filed under: Uncategorized — loraseverson at 3:44 pm on Wednesday, January 6, 2010  Tagged , , , , , , , , , , , ,

The winter holiday season is a popular time for couples in love to become engaged to be married. Families are gathered together for big holiday dinners or events and it is a warm and festive time to pop the question.  Many Christmas dinners have been interrupted with a groom to be wanting everyone’s attention as he drops to one knee with a ring in his hand. As we are saying good bye to the old year and hello to the new, New Year’s Eve is another great celebration time to propose to the love of your life. It is a wonderful metaphor as you begin your journey into marriage.

Now that you are engaged, of course you want to tell the world! A Wedding Collection by Lora Severson Photography offers a complete line of Engagement Announcements, Engagement Party Invitations, Engagement Postage Stamps, Engagement Envelope Seals and Engagement Photo Cards featuring her original photography.

Choosing Wedding Invitations

Filed under: Uncategorized — loraseverson at 4:02 pm on Thursday, October 29, 2009  Tagged , , , , ,

How to choose your wedding invitation:

1. Set a budget and be creative.  There are many beautiful expensive invitations, but there are also affordable but equally beautiful invitations in the market.  You’ve just got to be creative and know where to look. The internet is a great place to start. Zazzle.com and The Knot Wedding Shopsells a wide variety of custom wedding invitations. A bulk rate is available to help keep costs down for the couple. A Wedding Collection by Lora Severson Photography is a great place to find unique invitations featuring original photography.

2. Decide on a theme and color motif for your wedding.  Your invitation should suggest the theme or the color motif of your wedding. You may want to choose invitations that match your wedding bouquet, centerpieces or bridesmaid dresses.

3. Prepare your guest list so that you will know how many invitations to order.

4. Select a style that reflects your personality as well as it should give an idea of the wedding that you are planning. A formal invitation will set the tone for a formal wedding and vice versa with a casual invitation. For example, these Country Wedding Invitations help set the tone for a rural barn wedding. Also, these Green Grass Wedding Invitations suggest to your guests that you will be holding an outdoor backyard wedding.

5. Begin as early as eight months before the wedding.  This way, you will have plenty of time to perfect the wording, and should something goes wrong, you will have ample time to revise it and make sure that it is  the way you want it before sending them out.

6. Before you order your invitations, make sure that all of your wedding details such as the date, time and place of the ceremony and reception are already confirmed.

7. Asking help from professionals on the look and style of your invitation will help you pull your ideas together for a more beautiful outcome.

8. With regards to the proper wording and etiquette, a professional should be consulted to make sure that everything in the invitation is properly placed.

9. Order more invitations than the amount that you really need.  This will give you a few extras in case you left anyone out.

10. When giving the shop your wording, it is best that you give it to them typewritten, so they can clearly read it.

11. Do it with style.  Be creative and try to combine materials to achieve your own personal touch.

Invitation Etiquette

1. When the ceremony and the reception will be held at different locations, you can enclose a reception card along with your invitation.  The reception card should also be provided with an envelope and contain specific information about the reception.

2. Do not address envelopes as Mr. and Mrs. William Cooper and Family.  This is not proper.  The names of children under eighteen years old should be included in the invitation, while children over eighteen should be sent their own invitation.

3. You can use casual names such as Uncle Henry and Aunt Beth or Grandma to relatives that are close to you in addressing the inner envelope as this will show how much they mean to you, even if you are planning a formal event.

4. Mail your invitation six to eight weeks before your wedding date.  If however, your wedding date is set on a holiday season or you are inviting a lot of guests that are from out of state, you should mail the invitations sooner to give them ample time to plan and make hotel reservations and organize their schedule.

5. Position the word black tie in the lower right hand corner of the invitation if you are planning for a formal wedding so that your guests can dress accordingly.

Don’ts when placing invitation wordings:

1. Don’t use nicknames.  Always use the first, middle, and last name.  Some people do not want their middle names included in the invitation; don’t use initials, simply do not include their middle names.

2. Don’t make abbreviations.  Only Mr., Mrs., or Dr. can be abbreviated.  All other titles should be written completely.

3. Don’t abbreviate dates, addresses and time.

4. Don’t write the word and as &.

Invitation assembly:

1. Place the invitation inside the large envelope along with its protective tissue and make certain that the invitation is facing you.

2. Place in the reception invitation on top of the invitation, also facing you.

3. Position the response card in, and leaning within the flap of the response envelope, which is facing down.

4. The last to go in are the directions or map which guides the guests.

5. When addressing the outer envelope, it is best that you use calligraphy.

6. For added touch, choose a postage stamp that well compliments the general appearance of your invitation. A Wedding Collection by Lora Severson Photography and Zazzle.com offers Wedding Postage Stamps that matches the Wedding Invitations to create a coordinated wedding set.
7. If possible, bring your invitations to the post office and ask that they be hand cancelled, to avoid unattractive marks or scratches that a machine cancelling can cause.

Wedding Cost Saving Ideas

Filed under: Uncategorized — loraseverson at 4:49 pm on Friday, September 25, 2009  Tagged , , , , , , , , , ,

Almost every girl has a picture of her ideal wedding in her mind.  She may dream up something that she can visualize when reading fairy tales that end with “…and they live happily ever after.”  She sees flowers, ribbons and laces.

However, when her wedding day comes, she may have other considerations on her mind.  She still dreams of her ideal wedding but she starts incorporating other subjects that represent her and her groom.  Not to mention that the bride also considers the current trends in wedding fashion and decoration.  And the most important subject to talk about when choosing decorations - the cost.

Nobody wants to spend the first few months of being married paying of debts made during the wedding preparations.  Therefore, the groom-to-be and bride-to-be should be very careful what to spend on.  Here are a few things to consider.

* Personalize the decorations.  Not only does this add a personal touch to the celebration but this also cuts down on the cost.  For example, if the bride or the groom is a photographer, they may choose having photos from their collection made the main subjects for the reception design.  The photos may also be used for invitations and keepsakes,

* Consider renting.  Most of the items that will be used for decorations will not be used again.  These include the centerpieces, the vases, the arc ways and the artificial flower arrangements.  So ask your wedding decorator for options to rent these pieces.

* Kids can get bored during the wedding reception.  So instead of having kids seated at the same table with the adults, you can have an area where kids can be more casual and can have a small party of their own. Also, consider hiring a babysitter to oversee a craft project or activity just for kids. When the kids are happy, the parents are happy.

* Marriage is a union of families.  During the wedding rites, if possible, you may alter some of the practices to include the children of the bride or groom from previous marriage or the parents and families of the couple.  Having them perform a special union rite will signify that the wedding is not just a union of two people but also of two families. When the bride and groom exchange rings, a small token or gift may be given to the children at this time also. This way they feel part of the bond as well.

* If you wanted to cut down on the cost for the wedding reception, you can perhaps invite more people to the engagement party.  Usually, only cocktails and hors d’oeuvres are served, which cost less than the full set of meals for the wedding reception guests.

* For the music, you can look for a local college band or DJ.  You can also have your favorite songs just downloaded from the Internet and saved to an mp3 player or CD to be played over the speakers during the reception.

* When considering the cost of church decorations, check if there will be another couple that will get married on the same day.  They may want to coordinate what decorations can be used for both wedding ceremonies to lessen the need to change decorations before or after the wedding and to split the cost.

*Custom invitations from your local printer can be expensive. Look to the internet to find inexpensive but custom Wedding Invitations, Save the Date Announcements, Thank You Notes, Photo Cards and even matching Wedding Postage Stamps. A Wedding Collection by Lora Severson Photography offers a wide selection of floral, classic, contemporary and even country wedding designs. All cards, invitations, announcements and stationery are fully customizable by the customer. Feel free to change the text, font or paper type to suit your wedding needs. There also is a selection of matching wedding favors which may be customized as well. Bulk rates are available-the more you buy the more you save. Most orders print and ship within 48 hours and a 100% satisfaction guarantee is offered.

Getting married should not be expensive.  After all, the essence of marriage is in the union and not in the celebration.  You shouldn’t also try too hard to please the guests.  Your family and friends are there to rejoice this wonderful event with you and not to criticize your wedding.

The Guest List: The Foundation of Planning Your Wedding

Filed under: Uncategorized — loraseverson at 3:51 pm on Friday, September 18, 2009  Tagged , , , , , , , , , , ,

Before you choose a gown or decide on a menu, there’s one task that you must begin as soon as possible. A well-thought out guest list can save time and money as you plan your wedding.

Many prenuptial arrangements can’t be made and checks can’t be written until you’ve prepared a meticulous guest list. Invitations, postage and deposits for ceremony and reception sites, caterer, baker and rental of tables, chairs, linens and place settings all hinge on the length of your guest list.

Get started on your guest list as soon as the diamond goes on your finger, and refer to it often as the weeks progress.

Start with a mini file box full of index cards or create a spreadsheet. Either way, you’ll be set to stay organized as you receive RSVPs and gifts. Keeping track of the thank you notes you’ve sent will be a breeze if you make notes as you go, plus your efforts will provide a head start on future Christmas card and baby announcement lists.

Keep track of the guests’ names, address, phone number, email address, and number of guests for that address. As they RSVP, everything you need to know will be at your fingertips.

Ready to begin your guest list? It’s easy as A-B-C! An A-B-C list, that is.

The A list is family, the B list is long-term friends of five years or more, and the C list is people you’d like to invite if your budget allows.

As you get along in the planning and it looks like you can only afford 75, cut it at the B list and leave it at that. Move on. Or, as you receive regrets from people on your A and B lists, begin sending invitations to those at the top of your C list. If you’ve planned ahead and mailed your A and B invitations early enough, your C list invitations will arrive in mailboxes with time to spare – and your C list people won’t even realize they were on the C list at all.

How many guests do you anticipate from your side of the family vs. your fiancé and his family? Start out on your road toward marital bliss by deciding early on how you’ll divide the invitations. Should your family send out half and his family the other half? Or maybe you’ll divide the stack of invitations into fourths, keeping a portion for yourself and giving the rest to your fiancé, your parents, and his parents.

How many guests should you expect? Each invitation usually represents two people. However, that doesn’t mean 200 invitations will yield a crowd of 400. Most brides end up with fewer guests than originally expected. There will always be a few guests who send an RSVP but don’t attend for whatever reason.

Will children be welcome at your wedding, or had you hoped for an adults-only affair? The best time to make this decision is while honing your guest list – not when your distant cousin with screaming triplets shows up at the ceremony.

The best way to let guests know whether kids are invited is by writing on the invitation’s inner envelope only the names of those who are invited. Instead of “John, Mary and family,” write “John and Mary.” Whatever you do, don’t state, “No children, please” on the invitation or the envelope.

To make sure certain guests are in attendance, send save-the-date cards. They’ve gained popularity in recent years, and are an especially thoughtful way to provide out-of-town guests plenty of time to schedule time off work and make travel arrangements. A wide variety of custom save the date cards are available at Zazzle.com.  A Wedding Collection by Lora Severson Photography offers many themes of save the date cards including floral, nature, contemporary, classic, country and more. Pair them with a matching wedding postage stamp to create a coordinated wedding set.

Feeling pressured to invite your entire company? Invite immediate co-workers and those you interact with each day. Others will understand. If necessary, pass the word that the hall only holds so many people.

Bottom line, invite those who will be honored to attend and will consider it a compliment to be part of your day.
