Tip 1: Make sure you weigh a single invitation before applying postage. Invitations can sometimes sneak over the minimum postage and be returned rubber stamped.Tip 2: If you are ordering unprinted invitations, order 25 extra - it is cheaper to order a few more now that a single batch later on. Order extra envelopes as well to allow for mistakes.Tip 3: It can be a nice idea to celebrate your first anniversary with a piece of your wedding cake. Wrap the top layer in plastic wrap, and then aluminium foil. Don't just use aluminium foil, as it can leave the cake with a metallic taste. To keep a good flavour, store the cake in the back of the freezer where the temperature is constant.Tip 4: If you are...

When my headdress was about to be placed on my stiff-with-hair-spray head, my mother asked for a happily married matron among the women in the family. No one stepped forward; although, quite a few married women were in the room. So, my mother called my aunt who seemed to be the most happily married person around. Something had to be right with that superstition because my marriage has lasted several decades and it seems to be continuing on an even keel. For the happiness to be handed down from generation to generation, the placing of the headdress probably corresponds with the wearing of the garter or something borrowed.When it comes to weddings, our most superstitious selves surface from the depths...

For most, the second time isn't seen as...

Wedding invitations play a huge role during your marriage days. Generally, you aren't in contact with each and every single person you want to invite to your wedding.

As many are aware, I'm quite an advocate for the growing house church "movement" and love helping others to establish churches in their homes, coffee shops, office breakrooms, etc. I'm having a ball doing this and it's VERY rewarding. I was recently looking at Luke Chapter 10 verses 1-9 and there are some principles found there that will not only prove beneficial to the "house churchers" among us, but ANY Christian whose heart is set on advancing the Kingdom of God.Let's take a look at the Amplified version.
