I have known Hamid for a few years now. He is always our first choice for our group photos and portraits. We are…

then growing together.

wedding reception guests… our now infamous MTV Music Concept Video. Enjoy!

Our Wedding

…

We will have two Menu cards and two Reception cards/programmes.  I did the layout using MS Publisher.  The cards will be printed on 60lb Ivory Parchment paper, the same paper that was used in our Wedding invitations, using my Epson Photo Inkjet printer.  I will also be hot-gluing the cards onto the same cranberry red and ivory abaca fiber backing that was used in our wedding invitations.  I was going to make a Menu card for each seat but decided against it.  It will cut down on work and most of the menus will be discarded anyway except for the sentimental or packrats amongst our guests.

Below is our Reception programme:

…

Yikes!  Our wedding website keeps sending me emails with the days counting down to our wedding!  Just 15 days to go! 
Not only that though!  Those emails send out our (my… haha, Mr. Bloom!) Task Checklists!  So much to do in so little time.
I’ve planned and prepared but still there are tasks that cannot be done until closer to the date.  These include the seating chart, place cards, table cards, and menu cards.

Here is our Menu card.  We still have to have our final meeting with the caterers with the final head count and negotiate the vegetarian dishes and children’s dishes.  We ended up having more children attending than we thought.  Any child under 11 years old will be getting a kid’s meal.  I highly doubt toddlers will be able to eat a 6-course Italian meal.  Hopefully the caterer will be able to price accordingly.   Our contract is for 250 people.  Our count right now is 290 people!

…

Only a short post today!  I am forehead deep in wedding stuff before we head off to Pender Island for a 3-day weekend… and yes!  We will be attending Wedding #6!  Incidentally, the groom looks like Tom Cruise!  The bride has also been mistaken for Rae Dawn Chong!  Ahhhh… nothing like a celebrity look-a-like wedding!

I digress yet again!

I’m currently researching signature drinks again.  I’ve been researching for months now and trying out many.  Now it is crunchtime as I need to layout the Signature Drink menu in MS Publisher.

I found a great website that lists drinks by colour:

Here is the link to the BC Liquor Stores’ website:
http://www.bcliquorstores.com

Do a Product Search to find what is in stock, how much is in stock, where it can be found in British Columbia and pricing.  Don’t forget to add on the liquor taxes when you are planning your wedding alcohol budget!

Bottoms up!…

Hi!

My florist and wedding event coordinator, Cecilia “CC” Roa of RoaDesigns.com, recommended this website as a great source for Local Canadian Wedding Resources.

Urban Weddings

View the Mini Website pictorials of various local weddings by clicking on the Pink box on bottom of Right column.
Also visit the Resource Directory for the directory listings of various vendors.  The site also encourages users to vote and rate vendors they have dealt with….

Do you have any suggestions on what to play for the Money Dance/Honeymoon Dance song(s)?

Below are suggestions of what I found while surfing the web.
We prefer the songs that don’t sound greedy!  =D
The purpose of our Money Dance is for tradition as well as some personal one-on-one time with our guests.
Here’s an article I found on Money Dance/Dollar Dance:  http://www.walkerpub.com/moneydance.html .
And I thought the Money Dance was just a Filipino and Hispanic tradition!
