We made, or actually, I made the invitations. My former maid-of-honour / best friend was supposed to help, but she and her husband and their son dropped out of the wedding in Feb. So I said screw it and made them myself. I'm not a really fancy person, so I bought the invitation kit - it just had gold swirls at the top and bottom and I worded it, no pictures or icons. Email me your email addy and I will be happy to send along the sample. cmkossila@shaw.ca I only needed 9 invites, so having them made, with the reply cards and menu cards (sit-down), was unreasonable, as most places here had a minimum order of 25! Um, I need 9, what do I do with the other 14? Wallpaper the bathroom? My wording was simple too, I found it on the internet, as I did a lot of my stuff. For the cake, we have an awesome bakery here, I had a 14 inch heart cake made and delivered to the inn. My 79 year old grandma, my mom and I also made the traditional fruit cake in January and set that for seasoning until the end of May. Then we sliced it, put the marzapan on it and packaged it up in the doilies. (Had to have something traditional - my grandma is the cornerstone of our family and she is very traditional - I love her to pieces!) We had a ton of cakes left over, so I took some to my mom and brought a lot to work and Thomas managed the rest. I was fine eating the cake as long as I didn't have the icing. You should have a small cake at least so you can have pictures!! And no, we did not smush it on each other's face. I think that is disgraceful! Let me know what ever else you need! I'm happy to help!!
