If you make use of our nifty invite system you’ll be glad to know we released a small but useful feature today.

Now you can send messages to all your guests after the original invite has been sent. We even help you by giving you shortcuts to message only guests that will be attending, or ones that haven’t RSVP’ed yet.

This is a crucial feature we felt was lacking from our invite system, and the feedback we got from our users reflected that.

Happy Messaging!

Honeymoon registries are becoming more popular among couples. Honeymoon registries allow a couple to register for any part of their honeymoon - including airfare, hotel, souvenirs, tours or a day at the spa . By allowing guests to gift towards aparticular parts of a honeymoon, it is a much more personal gift-giving experience than handing a check and not having any idea what it is spent on. Today’s honeymoon registries have the look and feel of traditional wedding registries.

Honeymoon registries are easy to set up - and are easy for guests to use. And the best thing about these registries is that a couple can create their registry from the comfort of their own home computer. A honeymoon registry can be the only registry a couple set up, or it can be in addition to a more traditional registry. Couples are finding that their guests would prefer to make a gift towards a wonderful honeymoon memory over new towels and linens.

AGreatAffair.com is a cash gift wedding registry that looks and feels just like a traditional registry but allows you to register for ANYTHING you want - no matter how big or small - such as your honeymoon, wedding expenses (like a wedding planner), a big screen tv, a home downpayment, a new puppy, couples golf lessons or traditional gifts, like china or furnishings.

When planning a honeymoon, it is always best to be open to new experiences. Why settle for a week in a Caribbean all-inclusive when you could be jungle trekking in the Amazon meeting Indian tribes, monkeys and learning about an endangered ecosystem. You could always end with a few days on the beach - there are plenty of isolated virgin beaches to choose from in Brazil.

Your tan will only last a couple of weeks, but the memories, stories and photos from you trip will last forever! So why not make it an adventure?… this is your one chance to splash out on a once-in-a-lifetime journey together to start your union.

Most brides are looking for ways to cut costs in their budget. While creating a DIY invitation can save money. Be sure to look at the total cost before purchasing the supplies.

One resource that I refer my brides to is a party supply store - Party City. In addition to party items, the have basic wedding resources.

However, what a lot of people don’t realize is that they also have invitation books. You can order direct from these books and get embossed invitations. The best part is to wait until they offer a special or you have a coupon. This can save up to 25% at certain times.

You can also order simple embossed invitations and then use some inexpensive ideas to make them look custom.
