WEDDING VENUES

I am booked every Saturday in March for a wedding. I will be at four different venues and I will be posting a little something about each one of them after I have shot the wedding.
They are as follows:

Five Event Center Minneapolis

Ann Bean Bed and Breakfast Stillwater

Earl Brown Heritage Center

I will keep you posted.

Gentle Reminder for Friends

Friends want to pitch in, so let them. A week before you wed, give the people in your bridal party cards that detail their duties, like transporting flowers or delivering favors, just hand write your message inside. 

Tools and supplies:

1. Cover-weight paper or card stock
2. Craft knife
3. Metal ruler or straightedge
4. Japanese hole punch
5. Yard, string, or twine
6. A6 envelope

Print the card onto heavy paper or card stock. (If you want to print your message on the inside of the card instead of handwriting it, create a Word document with a text box that would align with the image on the front of the card, and print onto the other side of the paper.)

Basic How-To:

Use a metal ruler to guide a bone folder as you score the paper between the dotted crop marks at the center. Then use a craft knife and the ruler to cut between the solid crop marks at the corners; do not cut all the way to the edges of the paper (this will leave the crop marks intact for subsequent cuts).

Punch a pair of holes on either side of the finger just above the middle knuckle, and thread string through from behind. Knot, and cut off some of the excess string.

Hang onto your honeymoon pics

Honeymoon pictures have a funny way of disappearing in boxes or staying on your memory card or winding up at the back of a drawer. Pin them down in an accordion style notebook that is part scrapbook and part decoration.

Using a map of your honeymoon location as the cover, mount photo's and momento's from your trip. Plane ticket stubs or a business card from that cute off the beaten path restaurant you found. With your memories on display you will be able to see them and think about the fabulous time you had.

You can purchase the accordion style paper at Micheals for around $5.00.
