<br />displays a small but poignant collection of
<br />special photographs of the Bride and Groom
<br />and their families.
<br />
<br />Selecting older images as well as more recent ones,
<br />makes it more sentimental but also helps to
<br />unite the past with the present.

It stated that in a recent survey of newly wed women, that 30% of them were not taking their husband's name. I am not sure what their reasons were, possibly due to professional or financial status or maybe even age. But for the 70% of Brides who will be, it can be a daunting, challenging and even frustrating task. So, if you are getting married and planning to change your name, there is a convenient little kit that has ALL the necessary forms you will need to make this process much easier and less stressful. All of the paperwork is located within the box which makes it great because there is no downloading information, no new software to install and no forms to print!<br /><br />You can change your name with:<br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">•Social security</span><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">•Driver License</span><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">•Vehicle Title</span><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">•Passport</span><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">•Voters Registration</span><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">•Insurance</span><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">•Banking</span><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">•Professional Affiliations</span><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">•Property Records</span><br /><br />Inside this name change kit you will find:<br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">•All Government Forms</span><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">•Instructions</span><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">•Checklist</span><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">•Ancillary Record Change Forms</span><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">•Labels for envelopes</span><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">•Customization to your State and Local Jurisdiction</span><br /><br /><br />So many of "my" Brides tell me what a time saver this kit was. Also, it is a repeat purchase for many of my customers to give as an add-on Bridal Shower gift. If you are a busy professional, as many of us women are today, this small investment is worth its weight in gold!<br /><br />Additionally, here are a couple of things to keep in mind <strong>BEFORE </strong>the Wedding...<br /><br />•Tell your job so they can start the process of changing your email address, and your business cards.<br /><br />•Tell your bridesmaids and family that you're changing it, just in case anyone checks with them before getting anything monogrammed.<br /><br />•Make your honeymoon reservations using your <strong>MAIDEN</strong> name. You won't have a passport or drivers license in your new name yet, so you'll need your tickets to match your documentation.<br /><br />Good luck!!!Ms. Matrimonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02355703135771787455noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584920113593365261.post-12531980841839253062010-02-23T15:43:00.037-05:002010-02-24T08:32:07.917-05:00Hip and Chic Bridal Apparel<div align="center">If you are looking for some hip and chic<br />apparel for your Big Day and Honeymoon,<br />we offer crystal embellished hoody sets,<br />pjs, bikinis, tanks, t-shirts and boyshorts.</div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

Sometimes, the gown you never dreamed you would choose will wind up being the perfect one for you and your body type!<br /><br />View this video a few times and take some notes! <strong><span style="font-size:78%;">(Gown by Maggie <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Sottero</span>)</span></strong> <div><div><a href="http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-choose-a-wedding-gown"><strong>http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-choose-a-wedding-gown</strong></a></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div><span style="font-size:78%;"></span></div></div>Ms. Matrimonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02355703135771787455noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584920113593365261.post-48783698455061781572010-01-25T13:18:00.000-05:002010-01-25T14:33:31.428-05:00Addressing Do's and Don'ts<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0RROxj2LpAwF5nNjP5m8-bsOoSuhADg7q8ZV2LYcyLS0K0cX4a15G8TcFApLxhOO4bnPHjS0JN96f0A6i07o3PVx5CDB8O3YO9Kc8iuNEwxzC8e8DEGcQRDOheCbH9TNmMituGBgNaZM/s1600-h/Calligraphy+Marketing+postcard.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 269px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430762449228363202" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0RROxj2LpAwF5nNjP5m8-bsOoSuhADg7q8ZV2LYcyLS0K0cX4a15G8TcFApLxhOO4bnPHjS0JN96f0A6i07o3PVx5CDB8O3YO9Kc8iuNEwxzC8e8DEGcQRDOheCbH9TNmMituGBgNaZM/s400/Calligraphy+Marketing+postcard.JPG" /></a><span style="color:#000000;">If you are planning a traditional wedding, much of the same formality that appears in the invitation is also used on the envelopes. The outer envelope will include the guests FULL formal name including any title, whether it is professional, social, religious, etc. On the inner envelope you would list their names with no address and list their children (if invited) by their first names only. I think it is nice to address intimate relatives by their title - grandma, aunt, uncle.<br /></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">Here are some etiquette guidelines that will help you when addressing your envelopes...<br /><br /><strong>DO address all wedding invitation envelopes by hand</strong> or have them done by a calligrapher or calligraphy machine. NEVER PRINT ON LABELS!!!<br /><br /></span><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>DO spell out all street names and states.<br /><br />DO address the invitation to both members</strong> <strong>of a married couple</strong> such as Mr. and Mrs. Anthony DiSalvio.<br /><br /><strong>DO send ONE invitation to couples living together</strong>, and address it to BOTH of them with each name appearing on a SEPARATE line.<br />Mr. William McCarthy<br />Ms. Sarah Wellington</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>DO list a ranking title FIRST, regardless of gender</strong>. DO list a woman with a professional or military title on a separate line, ABOVE her husband's name on the outer envelope. On the inner envelope you would still use her title, but she and her husband would be listed on the same line, her name first.<br />Outer: Doctor Margaret Shepherd<br />Mr. John Shepherd</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">Inner: Doctor Shepherd and Mr. Shepherd</span><br /><em><span style="color:#000000;">(Next blog will discuss common titles and how they should be addressed).</span></em><br /><span style="color:#000000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>DO send a separate invitation to children over sixteen years of age.</strong> If there is more that one sibling over the age of sixteen, one invitation may be sent to the two of them, listing their names ALPHABETICALLY.</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"></span><br /><strong><span style="color:#000000;">DO list the names of children who are invited to the wedding under their parents names on the INNER envelope.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#000000;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#000000;">DON'T write "and family"</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#000000;"></span></strong><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>DON'T write "and guest". Take the time to find the name of the guest's significant other.</strong> This could be a tough one for some people:-)<br /><br /><strong>DON'T abbreviate.</strong></span><br /><strong><span style="color:#000000;"></span></strong><br /><span style="color:#000000;">I hope you found these guidelines to be helpful. You may still encounter some "creative" situations or living arrangements that are confusing and need to be properly addressed.

Elizabeth had told me about a few of the "Greene" and homemade ideas that she had incorporated into her Wedding and I thought they would be inspirational to other future Brides. Here is a little description of some of Elizabeth's ideas in her own words. We are waiting for her professional album...<br /><br /></div><div><div>"Our theme originated from the last name of my husband [to be], Greene. I chose a shade of green for my bridesmaids to wear and planned to be married outside in the woods at our venue. The idea for the centerpieces was to bring the outdoors inside to the reception and "Go Green[e]". I was inspired by a photograph from Martha Stewart's wedding magazine and my idea evolved creatively from there. After completing the craft I realized how special the personal touch would effect me and my guests. Special because it was impressive to be a homemade project done with my dad, mom, sister and husband. We gifted this unique centerpiece to one lucky guest at each table. The centerpieces made with wooden flowers will last a lifetime."<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397392270295932514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_DoTTHLsRel3xPBmLPGb2JjbHF61jjhJ8D5kLQxs7Dn2mdv-7JSA-as15_7yFuk-9ZhNo_UP5RNg4XeQJ1YPltaHDwfzQfaD0a-Zm75MCgiB7jRExpcyNOngwdP7w5hnxXDOgPZMYxV8/s400/blog+-+Elizabeth+centerpieces.JPG" border="0" /><br />"My dad had cut and stained the bases. My mom, sister and I had put them together. Each had two candles (ikea) one in a glass hurricane (the dollar store) and one on a glass base (online purchase) a wooden watering can (Michael's) and two sticks (ikea) to hold our homemade table signs. Each centerpiece was decorated differently from the next with ribbon, hemp, rope (Michael's) and wooden roses <strong>(</strong><a href="http://www.petalbypetal.com/" target="_blank"><strong>http://www.petalbypetal.com/</strong></a><strong>).</strong> Instead of table numbers, we titled our tables on one side and on the other side had a fun fact about the title. For example, one table was titled 9th and Federal. The opposite side said "Jimmy and Elizabeth shared their first apartment together at these cross streets in the Italian Market." This was a fun way to get guests to mingle. Guests also enjoyed the centerpiece give-a-way. The DJ had a "hot potato" game where each table passed a set of keys, a champagne glass, and a napkin. When the music stopped, if you were left with the keys you were the designated driver. The glass meant you were in charge of getting drinks from the bar for your table and the napkin meant you won the center piece."<br /><br /><a href="http://www.nurserymen.com/" target="_blank"><strong>http://www.nurserymen.com/</strong></a> is the website where we purchased our tree favors. This idea fit our theme perfectly. The favors read "As our love grows and prospers over the years, so too will this tree."<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397393978398697010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUN_1gl8PxX28HOxjwFARqwT5lkGPnZWdWgj80ay0MwbnpZfhnhzHuJRhZQraviD8oLAHhcpRLkDuzhSzQJzb6_AqFBO9iUpH7OsT8cInTk8Gt3px9J97IJV9ZuqXvHdegQkQoK2gDS80/s400/blog+-+Elizabeth+tree+favors.JPG" border="0" /><br />"Instead of a unity candle, Jimmy and I watered a tree.
