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!

Can you help me with the wedding invitation wording?
Thursday, July 22nd, 2010
I proposed a wedding invitation wording that included something like “Laura Smith and Dennis Taylor, together with their parents, invite you to celebrate their marriage.”
My father wants it to say that he and my mom are hosting, ie. Mr. & Mrs. invite you to the wedding of their daughter.
My Dad is paying the biggest chunk, i.e., for reception venue, food and drink, my fiancee and I are paying for DJ,photographer, limo, favors, etc. His parents are paying for rehearsal dinner and giving us a very generous gift.

I am creating a monogram wedding invitation and I’m looking for a beautiful script font. The monogram is letter “M”. Scriptina and the other free fonts I have just aren’t beautiful and elegant enough. Anyone have suggestions? I’m willing to purchase the font if I have to.
Any ideas on how to word a wedding invitation that will blend out family? We want to include the children.?
Sunday, July 18th, 2010
My fiance and I will be married in October. I have searched high and low for the “perfect” wording for our invitation, but can’t find anything that sticks out to me. This is both of our second wedding, we both have children, and want to include them in the wedding invitation. Any suggestions from some creative people would be very much appreciated. I was thinking of adding something like ” Please join us in witnessing our circle of love that will make us one” i dont know, what do you guys think?
