I couldn't find anything in the past discussions about using tealights without candle holders, and I'm curious if others have done it or would find it to be an added risk. On each table I'm planning...

It's quite a daunting task. I almost regret "googling it" because I was overwhelmed with too many options, as well as a mass of outdated or overly cheesy options. I want to piece together a ceremony...

So, we are doing pocketfold invitations and are placing a backing and then the actual invitation into the middle pane of the folder. Does anyone have recommendations on the best adhesive to use to put...
