Ebay

Ok, I was going to take a break selling wedding invitations on Ebay, wedding season being over and all, but you know, even when it's stressful it's still worth it. It's fun, I get to use my creativity for a change and it makes me some money. (so I feel a little less guilty about the stupid crap I buy ;-)


Here are my listings:  (and by the way, my feedback is awesome)

I think I am just going to leave them up indefinitely...

Drink Calculator

Serving drinks at your wedding? Here is a neat drink calculator to get an idea of how much booze you need to order. Check out the Drink Calculator
I would recommend NOT going with a cash bar. The last wedding I went to (ironically at the same venue as my wedding) had a cash bar. You could just hear the grumbling among the guests when they got there "It's a cash bar?" with a tone of disappointment. It's ok if you don't want to serve any alcohol or limit it to beer and wine, but making your guests pay alcohol at all it is kinda tacky. I think most peple expect to have a drink or two (or more if you have a family of big partiers) at a wedding once they walk in and see alcohol is being served.
I guess I am one to talk though. During my wedding, against my previous request to NOT have the bar open and just serve the beer and wine I ordered, the bar was open when we got there and some of our guests were happily paying for their own mixed drinks, so I let it stay open. So I guess there are exceptions to the NO CASH BAR rule, but, overall, I'm of the mindset that alcohol+a DJ='s a fun reception

New Monogram Design

I like how elegant the header of this invitation is. Probably works better when the couples name's are about the same length though :-)
