I can use that!?!
OR...how about giving it a nice soft feel by adding some silk fabric. It could peak out from under your first layer just slightly to give a little silk ruffle.
And a super girly favoite of mine...LACE!

Etiquette: What You Should Know About Save the Dates.
Q. Do we have to send a save-the-date?
A: Of course, you don't have to send one if you don't want, but it will give guests the heads-up about your wedding plans. Between travel arrangements and busy schedules, sending a save-the-date will increase guests' chances of attending your celebration. And that's the goal, right?
Q. When do you send them?
A: As a general rule, it's best to start spreading the news at around six months prior to the ceremony (eight months for a faraway destination). This gives guests plenty of time to book their travel, save a bit of cash, and ask for days off from work. Any earlier, and they may toss the notice aside. Any later, and it might as well be an invitation.
Q. Do we have to send save-the-dates to everyone?
A: Just to the people that you want to come to your wedding. Even if you have already received confirmations from certain guests, you still need to send them a save-the-date (bridesmaids, siblings, and parents). But remember: Only send to those that you definitely want to attend. Once these are in the mail, there's really no turning back.
Q. Do we need to add “and guest,” or can that wait for the invitations?
A: It's best to be clear about who is invited to the wedding, even this far in advance. By including the actual names of every intended guest on the envelope, you are less likely to have any assumed invitees (like your third cousin's new boyfriend), or general confusion (is your seven-year-old niece invited?). Being upfront about who is invited also gives families with uninvited kids ample time to plan for child care, and out-of-towners time to figure out hotel room shares.
Q. What if we send save-the-dates and then change the date or location?
This scenario is very unlikely, since no couple should send out formal wedding information before setting the plans in stone—but stranger things have happened. In the event of an unexpected change of plans, your best bet is to update your wedding website, pick up the phone, and start spreading the word. You do have the option of sending out another mailing that explains the dilemma—but a personal, verbal notice is the best way to avoid confusion. (If your guest list is a bit overwhelming, enlist the help of your bridal party.)

Got Invitations?!?
So...do you have invitations?
by:danny
You know what I've noticed? For an invitation blog, we sure do not post much about invitations! I promise we actually do work. I wanted to take a minute to show a little something that we can do. Here's a design from Envelopments that was featured in Martha Stewart Weddings. If you've dropped by our office recently you've already seen it on display at the 'make it a complete mess and we'll clean it up table'.
See...
And if you like it but are not sure if it's for you, we can 'tweek' it (and make it better but you didn't hear it from me..he he).

2009 Spring Make Up Trends
Come on! Catch up!
by: danny
I know it’s barely February but the makeup trends for Spring ’09 are starting to appear. It seems the trickle down from New York runways are tossing out the heavy eyebrows and bright red lips. Put away your simple looks. Spring is preparing for larger than life lashes, flawless complexions and the soft, smokey eye.
As hard as it may be, put your intense liquid liner back in the drawer. Eye makeup for this
Spring is all about definition and a soft touch of fantasy. Christian Dior, Jill Stuart and NARS
are all releasing softer, pastel collections for the eyes. Start looking around and you’ll see that nearly every makeup line, including Vincent Longo seen here, has been promoting violet
eyeliner to create a soft, smokey eye that compliments every skin tone.
Completing the softer eye is a pair of false lashes. Shown on almost every runway at New York Fashion week, properly applies false eyelashes add an ethereal sense of fantasy to the makeup trend this spring.
For the brows, you should give it a soft and more natural look. Try letting them grow and only trimming the unruly hairs, allowing the rest to naturally sweep toward the temple.

It's the thought that counts?
Finding the right wedding gift can sometimes be difficult. Lets face it, some people are just hard to shop for. I should should know, I'm one of those people! LOL
"A 3-D painting of horses" (You can never have too many of those...)
"A hand-painted lucky horseshoe" (At least it's lucky...)
"A picture of a wine cork" (I think I would rather have the wine...)
A bottle of vinegar vegetables" (*Blank Stare*)
"A mop" (Seriously???)
"Febreze air freshener" (I assume it goes with the mop.)
"Gift card that was empty" (WOW!)
"An IOU"
"A Bill Clinton pot holder"
"A regifted tray (with the original card to the regifter included with the present)" (That is special!)
So the moral of the story is...think before you gift. LOL Don't end up on this list!
