Tis the season…. Looking for affordable bridesmaid dresses? Try shopping for them during the holiday season - but not in expensive bridal salons. Department stores such Sears, for example, generally carry an excellent selection of glamorous cocktail and evening dresses as the season for parties approaches - but at much lower prices than what you’d pay for similar “bridesmaid dresses” in a bridal boutique. With just a quick look though a local department store before firing off this tip, I was able to find an array of gorgeous styles priced at a mere $49! An entire world of fabulous finds can definitely be found for well under $100. So when the season of good cheer rolls around, it’s time to grab your girls and hit the mall! If rock bottom prices are what you have in mind, here’s an even better suggestion: Scour the stores towards the end of the holiday season when prices are being heavily marked down, and cash in on the clearance sales for even greater savings!

Number those reply cards! Many a bride has a huge headache on her hands when, as sometimes happens, the occasional reply card is sent back with no names filled in. Clearly an oversight on the part of the guest who sent it, but how do you figure out who on earth it came from? Here’s a little trick which will ensure that you avoid this problem all together - place a small, inconspicuous number on the back of each reply card before enclosing it with the invitation. Use a list to record each guest’s name along with the number on the reply card you are enclosing for them. That way, if someone should forget to fill in their name, a quick glance at your list will tell you precisely who the reply belongs to.

Making your own wedding invitations? Save money by using reply postcards instead of the usual reply cards with envelopes. Postage rates for postcards are about 13 cents less than the rate for stamping envelopes (Remember, you must pre-stamp the reply cards for your guests!) Plus, by using postcards you’ll also save the expense of envelopes. Simply print the response information on one side of the card, and your address on the other side.

Be sure to “break-in” the shoes you will be wearing on your wedding day in advance. If your new shoes aren’t stretched a little before the big day, your feet may be killing you before you even make it to the reception. This has been an unpleasant distraction for many a bride on her wedding day, don’t let it put a damper on yours! Spend several hours wearing your bridal shoes around the house in the weeks before the wedding and you’ll have no problem kicking up your heels long into the wee hours when the big day arrives.

In the cold depth of January (-20 F below and then some…), there still seems to be a lot of heat coming from the Northeast area. The heat is coming from all of the love between man and woman with all intentions of preparing for one of the biggest days of their lives; their wedding!

Yes - in the recent days of the inauguration, the ice storms, the cold weather, the bad news of our economic climate, the never-ending wars in the middle-east, there still seems to be a “silver lining in the sky”. Couples are bonding closer together and deciding on when, where, how and why to get married.

It’s true - Maine Wedding DJ’s have receivedover 150 inquiries of wedding availability since 1/1/09! Not bad for such a small cold state!
