RSVP

16 Apr

Are you ready to order your invitations?  Well, let’s talk about setting a RSVP deadline.  Your RSVP deadline should be at least two weeks before the date of your event.  By this time, most people have knowledge as to if they can attend your event or not.  Around this time as well, your venue may need a final count as to how many guests will be attending.

So what should you do if everyone has not RSVP’d?  Well you can either go with the number that you have received that have RSVP’d, or you can have someone call to confirm if guests will be attending or not.  It is best if you utilize someone who does not know you and/or your family.  This way the guests will feel more obligated to give a definite response of yes or no, instead of maybe.

Fabulous Vendor Friday – Unity in Glass

6 Apr

Today’s Fabulous Vendor is the artist of Unity in Glass.

We have all heard of the unity ceremony where couples combine two products together to symbolize the union of themselves.  Some have used colored water or colored sand.  Unity in Glass as their name states uses glass.  Instead of using water or sand, glass would be used.  So how does the process work?

1. Select the glass crystal colors that your sculpture will be made from. These crystals will be mailed to you for your ceremony.

2. Mix the glass crystals ceremoniously as you would if you were using classic sand.

3. Ship the mixed glass crystals back to our studio using the included, prepaid shipping label. (International customers will need to provide local postage)

Once received, your sculpture would be created using the exact glass crystals from your ceremony. Your finished sculpture is then safely packaged and mailed to your address.

This is an amazing process to bring your colored class into a wonderful sculpture of glass.  To view the process, click here.

This is a piece that you can place in your home as a memory of your wedding.  Paper weights can also be made for family members to have in remembrance of your wedding vows.
