What other stores, besides Hobby Lobby & Michael’s, has the best paper products to make wedding invitations?
Preferably in the Greater Kansas City area. Thanks!

In addition to the craft stores you mentioned (and i’m assuming you have checked any others you didn’t mention) check out places like Staples, Office Depot, Office Max and any other large office supply stores.

Where can I buy classic, plain, white wedding invitations with dimensions 5×7″ or slightly smaller?
I want to purchase a wedding invitation set/package consisting of the main invitation being a plain white frame cardstock with dimensions of 5×7″ or slightly smaller (to fit into an enclosure that is 5×7″). Where can I find such invitations? Every wedding invitation website has frame invitations that are slightly larger than 5×7″ or folding invitations that are 5×7″ (and i DO NOT want a folding invitation; i want a frame/flat invitation). Thanks!

Try these people, click on products once you get to the website. I used them for my wedding invitations, RSVP cards, thank you cards, and programs. They have a lot of different type of invitation paper there. You can also hit the search button and put in what you’re looking for instead of weeding through all the different papers they have. Good luck!

If that doesn’t suit your purpose, try a craft store like Michael’s, or an art store, they might have what you’re looking for.

Invitations By Dawn question?
Anyone ever order wedding invitations from Invitations by Dawn and get the inner lined envelopes? There’s no seal on them! I ordered them a couple months ago and just now started to put them together when I noticed I can’t lick them shut! I have sticker seals but there not strong enough to keep them closed all the way. Did your inner lined envelopes come that way too? The included plain white ones have the licked seal but not the pretty lined ones which I was planning to use.
Britno- So the invitations go in to the inner lined envelope…then inside the plain white sealed ones? Is the lined one sealed inside the plain white one?
CR*P! I get it now! I already address the lined envelopes—now what

All wedding invitations come with an inner envelope, which is lined and not sealed for your invitation to go in. You will also place a single piece of tissue, which should have come with your invitations, over the printed area of the invite to ensure that it will not stick to the envelope when it is mailed. On the inner envelope you write the invitee’s names only, you do not address this envelope. Now the other envelope which was sent is an outer envelope which you will place the inner envelope in and seal. You address this envelope. It should go in this order while opening your invitation: Outer sealed envelope, inner lined envelope, tissue and invite. I hope this helps, wedding invitations are always confusing to put together :)! Congrats!

How long will wedding favors , caramel apples, last?
I am getting married in october and i want to use caramel apples as favors. I plan to make them myself. I was wondering how many days ahead of my wedding i can make them and they will still be good for the wedding. I know the day before the wedding is going to be hectic and i probably won’t have time to make them the day before the wedding.

According to ehow.com, they will last for about 2 weeks in the refrigerator.

Here’s their how-to link – the info is in the tips & warnings section at the bottom: http://www.ehow.com/how_4006_make-caramel-apples.html

I verified this with a couple caramel apple websites (they sell them) and they all said 1 week out of the refrigerator or 2 – 2 1/2 weeks in the refrigerator.

How much does it cost to resize a 14 ct yellow gold ring one size larger?
So I have a wedding ring that needs to be resized. It is 14 ct gold and is too small. It looks to me like I should only have to make it .5-1 sizes larger. I would like to hear from anyone in the Tempe, AZ area who has had any similar experiences so I can have a decent idea of a price range to go by when I go to get estimates.

Any information or suggestions is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Take it to a local jewelry shop. They will most likely do it while you wait, if it is just one size. They will do it for a minimal charge, if any at all. It can take a few seconds. It is more of a goodwill thing on their part, hoping that you may become a regular customer. Good Luck!

Did anybody have the experience of creating your personal wedding websites?
And what is it done for? Entertaining? Or It’s an important part of wedding process? I need to hear what you think of it.Thanks)

When I got married my wife and I created a wedding website. Mostly for sharing information with what I would call the younger generation attending our wedding. The wedding website we used had a place where you could add google maps of the ceremony, reception, etc. Which is really useful so your guests can find directions online vs the print out on an invitation. What was really nice was a guest book that friends could post well wishes. Also having a site provides a a good opportunity to share stories about the bridesmaids and groomsmen so everyone knows why you have them standing by your side.

I think that having a wedding website, is both entertaining and really useful.
