Free Printable Wedding Invitations: A Perfect Answer for Immediate Spreading Wedding Invitations

admin — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 20:32:01 +0000

Free printable wedding invitations are an ideal solution for people who need immediate help with spreading the word about their wedding, either because they are running out of time or because there is too little money to make anything fanciful. Available on many Internet sites such items are a reliable and cheap way of designing invitations. There are people who cannot afford to pay for special designs and decorations; still, they do have options. Free printable wedding invitations require just paper and a good printer. Cheap, easy to make and good looking, what is there to lose?

One technical condition is that there be an Adobe Photoshop software installed on your computer in order to be able to modify and print the wedding invitations. You can download the program and install it for free in all sorts of versions without infringing any copyright laws. Pay attention that you run the software that allows the modification of pdf files and not just their viewing. Normally, such operations require no technical knowledge, and anyone is free to use the invitation templates provided on the Internet.

The only challenge with free printable wedding invitations is the quality of the printer that you operate on. It is important that the same quality be found in all the printed invitations, which could be difficult for some devices. Colored ink may run low and the colors may appear less intense on paper. As a way to prevent such inconveniences, make sure there is enough ink according to the complexity of design specific to the invitations. Should you have added some pictures to the free printable wedding invitations, the ink consume will be a lot higher.

Last but not least, the variety of free printable wedding invitations is not as extensive as that of order-based items. After all, everybody wants to enjoy great quality for decent prices. The free templates to work on, sound like a good idea when you are a DIY person at least. Plus, this variant provides one with enough freedom to combine fonts, linings, colors and tiny decorative patterns that represent the elements that give unity, style and elegance to the invitations in the first place. Finally, give yourself some time to find suitable pockets or envelopes to match with the invitations as well.

Wedding Planning – Choosing Your Wedding Venue

admin — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 15:18:59 +0000

Planning a wedding is something most women have dreamed about for years! However it can also be incredibly stressful and there is a lot to organize. One of the most important things you need to organize for your wedding is a wedding reception venue, which we shall discuss in today’s article.

Importance of Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Apart from the wedding itself, the wedding reception venue is the most important part of your wedding day. If you want to keep things easy for guests then a ceremony and reception in the same location can be a good idea but selecting the right one becomes even more important!

Every wedding reception venue has its pros and cons, and what might be a stunning venue for one couple may not be right for you. As a couple you may have different wishes about what you want from a reception venue so take some time to talk about what you both want. We shall look at this in more detail below.

What you Need

You should always start by looking at the things that you absolutely need from your wedding reception venue. If you have 100 guests on your guest list then the wedding reception venue needs to be able to cater for this amount. You can quickly eliminate any wedding reception venue that doesn’t meet this criterion.

Availability of accommodation for your wedding night for you and guests is very important, especially if you have many guests travelling lost distances. There needs to be adequate accommodation close by for your friends and relatives to stay at after the wedding reception. If you like a wedding reception venue that is in a very secluded area, can they also offer accommodation options?

Always take into consideration the location of the wedding reception venue. How far is it from the wedding ceremony location? How far are you and your guests willing to travel? Google Maps is a good starting place to view alternative locations, do a search for terms relating your desired location such as noosa wedding reception.

Probably the most important thing to look at when choosing a wedding reception venue is the date. There is no point falling in love with a venue if it’s not available on the date that you want it! You may have more choices and even be able to save money by being flexible on dates and even days of the week. The wedding reception needs to be one of the first things you lock in with your wedding plans.

Once you have covered all these areas, you can start focusing on what you want from your wedding reception venue.

What You Want

We can all picture our dream wedding, but in reality we can’t always have it as perfect as we want. You will probably find that when comparing wedding reception venues you will find one that has everything that you want except one thing, which another one may have. So you may need to compromise on a few details.

Some of the things you need to think about when looking at what you want from your wedding reception venue include the setting and style. There are many traditional wedding reception venues available, some of which are located in stunning rural surroundings or with fabulous views. However, the traditional style may not be for everyone. If you want a modern, funky wedding then look for venues that reflect your own personal style.

Check the styles and types of catering and dining options on offer from potential wedding venues. If you want a sit-down formal dinner, then make sure they can offer you this. Likewise if you want something more casual and intimate.

It’s your wedding, so don’t be afraid to be fussy and get it right!

Lindsay & Brian’s Wedding at the Ancaster Old Mill

admin — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 05:05:36 +0000

There’s another ‘Old Mill’ and it’s in Ancaster – and Lindsay & Brain were married there last night. The Ancaster Old Mill easily rivals it’s more well known counterpart for beautiful grounds. And the service and food were first class. The whole day was filled with emotion and honesty as two people who obviously love each other deeply came together in matrimony. I was very glad to share in their joy. Here are a few teaser pix from the day:

Wedding Day Scheduling – Timing and Logistics

admin — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 06:02:44 +0000

One of the most important areas in which couples planning their weddings usually need advice is with respect to the day’s schedule, especially as it relates to the Wedding Photography. After all, most of them have never been married before. Your wedding day is akin to one day on a movie shoot – and as complex. So, a properly planned day means less stress, as well as the ability and flexibility to deal with the unexpected. As the Wedding Photographer, regardless of what is happening, I will always shoot whatever is available (working under pressure and unideal circumstances is the job of any useful Wedding Photographer). But, as with other things, good Wedding Pictures benefit from a relaxed bride who does not feel rushed. As I say, “Happy Bride, Happy Day”.

Even under the best of circumstances it is a challenging day for the bride and groom: (a) They have probably not had a very good night’s sleep, heading into probably the most eventful day of their lives (which runs 14-20 hours); (b) They are making the biggest commitment of their lives (which hopefully entails no doubt whatsoever ); (c) They are juggling the egos, insecurities and relationships within and between their families; (d) They are praying for the weather to hold up; (e) Hopefully they have delegated the myriad tasks throughout the day to reliable and capable people, otherwise they find themselves constantly having to be involved in areas they shouldn’t have to worry about; (f) I could keep going here, but you get the idea…

The point is, you can and should have fun on your wedding day. Good planning will go a long way to making that possible. Time allocation is critical to two parts of the day: (1) Bride’s Hair and Make-up (with the bridesmaids often in tow). It is well worth making the appointment earlier because I can’t tell you how often the bride is rushing to put on the dress in time to get some pictures taken and then to head off for the ceremony. Hair and Make-up can easily take longer than expected – regardless of what they tell you. Besides, you’re probably going to be up early in the morning anyway, so you might as well get down to business. If you are ready ahead of time you can relax. You don’t want to be rushed and stressed out when the day has barely begun. (2) Pictures (Family, Wedding Party, Couple).

How much time should be allotted for between the end of the ceremony to the time the wedded couple must appear at the reception? Depends. Here are some questions that must be answered before you can come up with a number:

How much mingling time is there going to be right after the ceremony?
Is there going to be a receiving line right after the ceremony? If so, how many guests? If you have 200 people it will take at least 45 minutes.
Where are the pictures going to be taken, at the ceremony location or at a park? If the latter, how far away is the park?
For Family Pictures are all the family members going to be driving to the park? That can take time and some people end up taking forever to get there. Additionally, the size of the families (or more accurately, those who are going to be in the pictures) affects how much time is required.
Is there a Videographer? If so, additional time will be required.
Depending on the time when the post-ceremony pictures begin, how much quality light is going to be available once we get to photographing the newly married couple (can anyone say, ‘most important pictures’). If it’s a bright day, there is more leeway with light, but you can’t count on that. Also, what looks like ‘enough’ light to you, may not be great from the photographer’s perspective.

Here is a typical Wedding Day scenario: Ceremony starts at 3pm. Finishes at 3:45. 15 minutes of mingling. Family Pix taken at the ceremony site – average sized family – 30 minutes. Couple and Wedding Party drive to the park. Including travel time and walking into the park, pictures commence 30 minutes later. Wedding Party Pix – 30 minutes. Couple Pix – 45 minutes. Drive to Reception Hall – 20 minutes. Arrive at Hall at between 6:30 to 6:45. Total time from end of the ceremony to arriving at the reception – about 3 hours.

Possible issues: (1) The Couple do no get to enjoy cocktails with their guests before dinner; (2) If there is a Receiving Line then the post-ceremony activities will be rushed and/or dinner will need to be pushed to 7:30; (3) If it’s a darkish day, there might not be very good light for the Couple Shots if they are done last (which is usually the case); (4) If the Family Photos are taken at the park there may be some delays if everyone doesn’t arrive at the park on time; (5) If there is a Videographer you can add 30-45 minutes to the schedule, which, like the Receiving Line, puts pressure on the schedule.

Conclusion: With dinner usually being served at 7pm, this schedule works fine, though there isn’t that much room for maneuvering. In this case, there would be more flexibility, and less stress, if the ceremony began at 2pm or 2:30pm. If there is a Videographer and a Receiving Line, then the Ceremony should not begin later than 2pm, preferably earlier.

If everything is happening in one location, you can cut about 45-60 minutes from the above scenario. In this case, you wouldn’t have to worry about lighting for photography (unless it’s raining of course), and the couple would be finished in time to either spend some cocktail time with guests and/or to have a rest before the Reception. In this scenario, keeping the Ceremony starting time at 3pm is a good idea because if you have it too early then your guests will be waiting around too long for the Reception to begin.

For the uninitiated, it’s easy just to accept what you’re told and given by the various vendors, but generally speaking they are only concerned with their own domains. So, for example, you may have your heart set on the church or venue where your ceremony will take place but if they tell you that the space is not available until 4pm, then, as you can tell from the above scenario, you will be limited with respect to the rest of your day. Does that mean you can’t use that venue? Not at all. It simply means adjustments may have to be made to plan (eg) Maybe the Couple do their photographs before the ceremony.

As a Wedding Photographer, my responsibility is to get the shots no matter what – and I do. But experience has revealed to me that when the logistics are solid then the day runs smoother, the bride and groom are happier – and the pictures are better.
