Save the Date Etiquette: Everything You Need To KnowWritten by Edna Renskers
Continued from page 1 Here are some guidelines on what your cards should state, your names, date of wedding, city or town and state of where wedding will take place. Also, because Save date Cards are a recent trend and many that have not attended a wedding recently may mistaken them for actual invitation be sure to include something along lines of, “Invitation to follow”, “Invitation and details to follow”, “Invitation will follow” this is usually placed at bottom of card. For more wording suggestions visit www.verseit.com. If you have a wedding website don’t forget to include address for your guests to view. If you need to keep your guest list to a minimum, make a list of close family and friends whom you want to make sure will be able to attend and mail them a Save Date Card, you do not need to send Save Date Cards to everyone you are inviting but, every guest that receives a Save Date Card must also receive an invitation. We recommend providing your guests with additional information to help facilitate their planning such as airline, car rental, hotel, information on things to see and do in area and surrounding areas, special events, theatrical shows etc. Go extra mile and acquire group discounts by calling specific companies and seeing if they offer group discounts.

* Use rhythmic movements and try to keep them consistent. It's best not to rub longer in one spot than in another unless asked. * When massaging neck, place your thumbs on sides of neck, curving your fingers over top of shoulders. This area is more sensitive for some than others. It's best to ask person. * Using palm of your hand or a flattened fist, apply pressure gently to spine, working your way up back of neck. Once you reach top of body, lightly stroke back from top to bottom in one large motion. * Using lotion can help relieve dry or irritated skin, as well as leave person feeling totally relaxed.
