Tradition is to save the top tier of your wedding cake to share with your significant other on your 1st year anniversary. Here are some helpful tips to insure your cake will taste almost as delicious as the night of your wedding.

• Make sure you let the cater and their staff know you intend on
saving the top tier.

• Set someone in charge of taking the cake home with them since
you may be heading straight out onto your honeymoon. You also
want to give them the following tips to ensure they store it properly.

• Remove any sugar flowers or other sugar decorations that may
be on the cake, and set them aside.

• Place the cake in the refrigerator to allow it to chill. This helps to
make sure the icing hardens so it does not stick to the plastic wrap

• Once hardened, wrap the cake in several layers of plastic wrap,
several layers! Do not use foil as this causes freezer burn for sure
to your cake!

• Now seal the cake in an air-tight bag or container, and place it in
the freezer!

Allow 2-hours to thaw

You’ve gotten engaged!!! The planning has officially begun. Question, how do I choose my bridesmaids?

Think twice before you ask

Once you've asked someone to be in your wedding party, you can't go back. So while it may be tempting to ask all of your favorite friends to be in your wedding party the minute you get engaged, don't. Take your time. Give yourself at least a month, if you can, to mull over the options. And pose this question to yourself: Do you imagine you'll be just as close to this person in five years as you are now?
Once decided, how will you ask your besties to do the honor? What a fun idea!!! Just had to share

Wedding Favors: To favor or not to favor.......... Seed packets, scented soaps & candles, refrigerator magnets (to name a few) Can you name the last three wedding favors you received? If not, then stop stressing about yours.
(P.S. Everyone likes food and plants, and you can always skip the favors altogether and donate to charity on behalf of your guests.)

trend alert! Cocktail hours are no longer limited to before dinner. Couples are opting to use the cocktail hour as a pre-ceremony party. It gets your guests in the mood for the celebration and late guests wont miss your 'I dos'.

Here's the answer to Wednesday's question thanks to Martha Stewart Wedding's Etiquette Adviser:
WHO GETS INVITED TO THE REHEARSAL DINNER?
According to the rules of etiquette, only those who participate in the actual rehearsal for the wedding get an invite to its namesake dinner. But now it’s increasingly common to include out-of-town guests and close family members in the night-before festivities. If you’re concerned that adding extra heads might undercut the significance of the main event (and seriously blow out your budget), then host an intimate meal for those who attend the run-through and meet others later for drinks.

Question of the week: WHO GETS INVITED TO THE REHEARSAL DINNER? Give us your answers and we'll post our etiquiette advice later this week!
