Wedding Planning

• A mother can give her daughter a bridal shower (generally the guests would be relatives) but, it is usually the maid of honor that gives the bridal shower and perhaps coworkers at work.

To my knowledge you don't need to have a permit or a license to be married ON a beach. FL law does not recognize "private" beaches that run all the way to the waters edge. However, you WILL have to have a marriage license.

• The bridal shower and the wedding are two different occasions. Yes, you do need to bring a gift to the wedding. Often brides go onto 'bridal registry' at several stores so you could phone her mother and ask what ones she is registered at. This way you can choose a less expensive gift or a mid-range gift. If you are financially strapped you could buy her fancy place mats (Pier 1 Imports has nice ones) with the napkins and ring holders; or some nice wine glasses.

That is a tradition of Chinese people on their wedding day.

• Most guests already know who the bride and grooms parents are and some weddings have a receiving line where guests congratulations the bride, groom and both sets of parents. If there is no receiving line then no, the bride and groom do not introduce their parents. The father's of either side may wish to make a toast to their new daughter-in-law or new son-in-law.
  

In order to find inexpensive wedding decorations, you may want to ask your friends and family members if they know anyone that has any left over from their weddings or other celebrations. There are also places that will let you rent decorations for your specific event. There are various online site that offer lower cost decorations for all occasions.

Yes, you can have two Maids of Honor. There are no rules you must follow for your wedding day - make it your own! Traditionally, one bridesmaid is Maid of Honor, but having two is perfectly acceptable. Being Maid of Honor can be a stressful task, so sharing the duties will relieve your friends. Having two Maids of Honor also might help you avoid hurt feelings if you have two women in your life that are equally special to you.

Matron because maid is short for maiden which is a girl or servent that has never been married.

There are different colors of lilac and sage. Unfortunately, you have picked two colors that are going to be extremely difficult to match. Lilac is a beautiful color and can be in tones of mauve, pink/mauve, to deeper colors. I'd go with the lilac. You could introduce another softer color along with the lilac such as shell pink (extremely muted color.) You want to dress the bridesmaids in lilac and the groomsmen in sage, or something like that? I didn't know they made sage-colored tuxedos, but if you can find them it wouldn't be a bad combination. As for printing the invitations...no one would ever "match" those two colors in process, because it's almost impossible to hold screens that faint over a press run. Instead, you would run "spot color" lilac and sage. They're both in the PANTONE Pastel catalog. This is probably going to be an upcharge because most people don't keep the supplies needed to mix pastel inks, so they'll order the colors premixed from their supplier...at about $35 per pound versus maybe $6 for standard colors. Anyway, if you want those colors go for it.

The wedding happen in Cain. The significant event that happen in this wedding was that Jesus got six strong men, and told them to pour water into jugs, after, he turned water into wine. This was his first miracle.

Ebay has a lot of vintage items at reasonable prices

I guess it would depend where you live. In Los Angeles, I would try a store like the Paper Bag Princess on Olympic Blvd or a thrift shop on Melrose Ave.

Don't forget thrift stores and the salvation army. Many people don't know what to do with their bridesmaid dress so they donate it when they're cleaning out their closet. My town often has bridesmaids' dresses and prom dresses in the thrift stores.

A tea-length dress is one that falls between the bottom of the knee and the bottom of the calf (about three or four inches above the ankle).

With Maxi dresses flip flops are typically the way to go but since the wedding is in March it might be a bit chilly for that type of footwear. Depending on where the wedding is you could try finding some cute flats.

They do, just as any guest of the wedding/shower usually does. An invitation does NOT specifically imply a gift must be brought.... but is customarily the case. They are not obligated to present anything in particular through their role as an attendant.

The ceremony normally has to take place at a (state) designated location (a church/temple or registry office). A marriage is both a public (it is a open public ceremony with witnesses) and a private (the celebration party) event. IT must also be conducted by a person with the legal authority to conduct the ceremony (A state registered/licensed person). This may be a priest, a government official or in certain circumstances a ships captain. A public record must be made of the marriage by the conducting official, the couple and some of the witness. On copy of this document is given to the couple, the other is retained by the state.

• Depends where the dinner is located and what type of venue it is. Nobody will really care what you are wearing, as the bride and groom will be the hit of the party however we should be kind enough to cater to the venues dress attire requirements.

usually its the maid of honor who hosts the bridal shower but i don't see why the mother of the bride couldn't do it it would make me feel more comfortable id i was planning the bridal shower for me daughter

There are many saying that you can write inside a wedding card. A common saying is, best wishes to the happy couple. You could also write, wishing you both a lifetime filled with love, joy, and happiness.

• No, it's rude to invite a guest to the Engagement Party when you have no intention of asking them to the wedding. If the guest has a reason they can't make the wedding then it's just fine to invite them to the Engagement Party.
  

It depends where you are. If you're at a place full of nature with a beautiful sunset, a long dress with any color but white or black. If you're in a city, a long, black dress will be perfect.

• Only give as money as you can afford for your Godchild's wedding. It is the bride and groom's parents that may give them the most money. If you can afford it then $100 or more dollars should be enough if you can manage that.

Carlson Craft is a company that specializes in cards of any type. They are usually cheaper than other printers because of the nature of their business. Also, they often offer discounts on their greeting cards/invitations.
