Creative placecards to indicate meal choice
Lindsay, on August 26, 2017 at 10:36 AM

We're having plated meals at the reception, so obviously we need to be able to indicate to the servers which guest selected which meal. I hate the idea of having a colored dot or something like that -...

Seating chart
Aury, on August 19, 2017 at 12:21 PM

Kiss bells
Jen , on August 8, 2017 at 6:56 PM

So we are having plastic cups at our wedding. How will our guest make the cling noise to make us kiss. I don't really want to order little bells or anything but I kinda like that tradition.
