After Steven and Ciro were married in a legal civil ceremony on June 17, 2008, they immediately began to plan their wedding celebration. They wanted to schedule it before the upcoming November 4th election where Proposition 8 was on the ballot, and so the weekend of October 3-5 was selected, with The Queen Mary in Long Beach, California as the venue of choice. The plan: to offer a weekend of festivities to out-of-town guests: a Friday afternoon cocktail reception in the ship’s lounge, a Friday night “Wedding’s Eve Dinner” at Sir Winston’s Restaurant shipboard, a Saturday afternoon on-deck Wedding Ceremony performed by the Ship’s Captain with an evening reception in the Queen’s Salon, and a Sunday brunch in the fabulous Grand Salon. Local friends and family were invited to Saturday only, and many of them opted to stay Saturday evening. The list of out-of-towners included immediate and extended family, and many friends. Most of them hailed from the NYC area, and some traveled from Indiana, Ohio, Arizona, and North Carolina. C&S committed to ten hotel rooms on the Queen Mary. A Wedding Teaser DVD was included in the invitation package. This Teaser proved so effective that the hotel reservation grew to 30 rooms! The Wedding’s Eve Dinner had 40 out-of-town guests in attendance, and the Saturday events had 160. Who knew!

How to Choose a Theme for Modern Wedding Invitations
Saturday, July 24th, 2010
When you are looking at modern wedding invitations, there are going to be a few things that you want to remember. There are many to choose from and finding the perfect wedding invitations can be beneficial by providing you with a keepsake for the rest of your lives.
Remember that the wedding invitations that are chosen for your special day are going to be the first thing that your guests are going to see regarding the day of your wedding. Therefore, when you design your wedding invitations and send them out, you are speaking volumes about who you are, what your day is going to like, and what the rest of your lives are going to be like. Essentially, your wedding invitations are the one way that you have to communicate to others before the wedding ceremony takes place. Therefore, the theme that you choose is going to be very important, as it can say a lot about the wedding itself and how is to be expected at the ceremony.
There are several different ways to choose a theme for your wedding invitations. You should consider all options and decide on the theme that suits you best. This gives you a much clearer idea of what you are looking at when it comes to your invitation, and what you can do to make the invitation even better. The aspects of the invitation that you want to think about include the colors of your ceremony, the overall theme of your wedding, and the theme or main idea behind you as a couple. If you think about these three things when making your decision, you should find it much easier to come up with ideas for the perfect invitations.
Everyone knows that color is very important when it comes to wedding invitations, and you want to make sure that when you think about the colors that you are going to be using, you also think about these in terms of the invitation styles. Most of the time, weddings have two main colors, and sometimes they have a third color, which is seen less often and it acts as a balance between the two. For instance, your colors might be pink and brown, and you might use ivory to balance out the two and add depth to the decorations. You will obviously want the color scheme you choose for your invitations to match the colors and themes that you are using in your wedding, so think about using those colors as a template and make sure that the invite includes them.
Another idea to consider when choosing wedding invitations is that many weddings today have a general theme, or an overall idea. A person might choose to have a beach themed wedding and reception, or they might want to have a very fancy, or a traditional themed celebration. Whatever your theme or central idea is, think about ways that you can incorporate this into the wedding invitations. For instance, if you choose to have a religious wedding, you may want to add one or more of your favorite biblical quotes to your invitations. If you choose a lyric from a song, you can also include this lyric on your invites to tie the entire thing together. There are many different options to consider when choosing your wedding theme, and you should be able to easily incorporate this theme into your invitations.
You want to think about who you are as a couple, and what you can do as a couple to add to your wedding theme, and therefore to add to your invitations. Is there a cultural or family ideal that you want to have present in your wedding? If so, how can you incorporate that into the wedding invitation? Are you musicians or interested in science? If so, is there something that you can put into your invites that really talks about who you are and what your marriage is going to be like?
Remember that while invitations are supposed to be formal and beautiful, they should also be uniquely yours, and something that you can enjoy keeping around for years to come. Weddings are a joyous time and choosing a theme is very important part of the celebration. Modern wedding invitations can include any theme that you want. The possibilities are endless and these can be a beach theme, religious theme or a location that you both enjoy visiting. You may also use a biblical quote or song lyrics to give you guests an idea of what to expect at the ceremony. After choosing a theme, you should consider color choices. Modern wedding invitations usually include two colors with the option of adding a third color. This make a wedding invitation style that is very simple that also provides all relevant information to your guests.
