Nothing quite compares to seeing a bride find the perfect wedding dress for her wedding.  But, what about her groom?  I think it’s about time they get some of the spotlight on their attire.  I would like to introduce a custom clothier, located right here in Sacramento:  Ryan Hammonds with R. Douglas Custom Clothiers.  Ryan brings an innovative and distinctive style to his custom creations.  Outfitting many of the local lobbyists, his clientele doesn’t stop here though.  Why not have a custom piece designed for your beau?  He can choose fabric types, liner style and even get a monogrammed personalized saying!  We love this, and think you will too.  Check out Ryan’s blog and website to find out more information.

Your invitations and save-the-dates should all include your return address.  With a minimal fee your envelopes can have your return address printed on the back flap of your invitations, with matching text to compliment the invitations inside.  You won’t be stuck writing them out or settling for a less than formal sticker.  So, should or shouldn’t you include the return address?

The most important benefit of including your return address on your envelopes is for insurance.  What if your invitation doesn’t make it to your guest.  You won’t ever know.  What if you have not included enough postage on your invitation?  Where is the post office going to send your invitations?  By placing your return address on the envelopes, in the event that they are not delivered, they will be returned to you, the sender.

Just one of those little details to consider when sending out those invites.

These cute calendars can help keep memory of any large milestone, whether it be anniversary, birthday, communion or other special event.  Jewelry available in necklace and bracelet form come in sterling silver,  14kt gold, rose and yellow gold as well as platinum. Choose a colored gem to place on your day.  These are available at: Not Just Any Old Day

And, with the hottest graphics, what bride wouldn’t find the perfect match??  To see the full line, call to schedule your complimentary consultation.  There are endless options for these invites, and no way you can order it simply “Online.”

1.  It forewarns guests of your wedding date.  We have very busy lives these days, and a “heads up” is always a great way of making sure there is space on the calendar for your special event.

2.  With so many cute designs ranging from calendar magnets to personalized photos and postcards, it is another way of making a statement when reminding guests of your upcoming nuptials.

3.  You can include accommodation information along with your save-the-date so your guests can plan accordingly and reserve a room or car rental far in advance.

4.  Some guests will let you know when they receive that save-the-date that they are unable to attend.  This will help you with projections of actual counts a bit in advance.

Save-the-dates can be sent out as soon as your venue is booked and your date is secured.  The more in advance your guests know about your big day, the better able they will have the day set aside to spend with you!
