When To Order and Send Your Invitations Written by Edna Renskers
Invitations should be ordered when you have all details of your wedding set… place, time of ceremony and reception, as well as your guest list. Plan to place your invitation order at least 3-4 months in advance, some companies may require 4-6 months. Especially, if you are ordering custom made invitations or handmade invitations and coordinating ensembles. Depending on intricacy of your design and because they are not mass produced, but rather assembled one by one it can take anywhere from 4 to 10 weeks for your order to arrive. Also consider factor of design process, possibility of errors, proofs and changes in your design. Ideally invitations are sent 6-8 weeks prior to your wedding. It is best to send out-of-town guests their invitations 8 weeks in advance, as this will allow for making travel arrangements. Consider sending out-of-town guests save date cards earlier, with information on hotels, flights and car rental.
| | Dating Dilemma: The Man Who Said He'd Call and Didn'tWritten by Terry Hernon MacDonald
You went out with guy. You both had a great time (or at least you thought he did!). You said goodnight, and he said he'd call you.He didn't. Why? What did you say to offend him? Was it your hair? Your clothes? Your weight? What's wrong with you, anyway? The answers to those questions are as follows: Who cares? Nothing, no, no, no, and not a damn thing. Every woman in world--no matter how thin, beautiful, smart, kind or talented--has been disappointed by a guy she really liked who said he'd call but didn't. Whatever you do, don't call him. Why? Because he said he'd call you, and he didn't. Which means that either his word is no good (better to know that early on!), or that he accidentally threw away your phone number with tin foil he wrapped his peanut butter sandwich in. Yes, of course women have every right to phone a man (as long as they're cool about it), but why put yourself at a disadvantage by calling someone who pretty much lied to you? Who needs it?
