Wedding Invitations and More

Wedding invitation 

The most basic wedding invitation contains the following information: who, where, what, when. The purpose of the invitation is to get your guests to your event and get them there on time. Recent, less traditional trends in wedding invitations allow brides and grooms to send a message about their style, give guests a hint as to what the wedding will be like, and generate excitement. 

Response Cards 

Response Cards, otherwise known as RSVP cards, will be a very important part of your planning process. When guests receive your invitation, they use the response card to indicate whether they can attend the event, how many guests they will be bringing, and (if applicable) their meal preferences. Always include a pre-addressed envelope or postcard and postage with response card. You want to make it as easy as possible for your guests to get back to you as soon as possible. 

Reception Cards 

Reception cards let your guests know where and when the reception party will be held. If the reception is taking place at the same location as the ceremony, it's not necessary to include a reception card (although you can if you want to). You can include a line on the invitation that reads "Reception immediately following ceremony." 

If the reception will be held at a separate location, it's usually appropriate to provide guests with details on a reception card. You'll want to tell your guests where the reception party will be, and what time they should arrive. A good idea is to also include a map or directions to the event. 

Direction Cards 

A simple direction card printed by the same printer of your wedding invitations ensures your guests know where they're going, and completes the cohesive looks of your invitation packet. You can choose to write out turn-by-turn directions from the ceremony site to the reception site, a map, or a combination of the two. 

Accommodation cards 

Especially useful for destination weddings, accommodation cards provide your guests with necessary travel, lodging, and local area information. If you are hosting your wedding in a popular vacation spot, you might want to include fun things to do in the area or specific reservation block information. If you are having a hometown wedding, you may choose to send accommodation cards only to the guests who will be traveling to the event. Make sure you include the web address, phone number, and other information your guests will need in order to make their arrangements.

If you are looking for a destination wedding photographer you might consider this important things!!

Experience Level - Has this person photographed other weddings? Does he/she do this for a living or for fun? Photographic Style - Are the images that you are shown, what you would like to see? There are "buzz" words flying about everywhere about photojournalism, formal, classic candid, and so on. Do you want a mixture of black and white or only colour photos? Truth in Advertising - Is this the photographer that will be photographing your wedding or will they send in whomever is available. Don't be shocked, this happens more often than you can imagine. Be certain that you know which photographer is going to be there and that you see HIS/HER work and meet with that individually face to face. Personality - Is the photographer that you meet someone that you can get along with? Is the "chemistry" there? Appearance - Ask the photographer how he/she intends to dress. Is this person well groomed? Price Range - Although, the last thing you want to do is shop by price, is this person within your budget? If not, is he or she worth the price difference? Make sure you understand what everything costs, including reprints and albums. Delivery - How long does it take to get your proofs back, thank you cards, your finished album, your bridal portrait, etc.? Offering - Whether it's a la carte or a package, do you understand what you are getting? Is there any room for changes and will it cost to do so? Sometimes the packages are fixed, sometimes they can be customized, in any case, ask. How much time will he/she spend? What if you need more time? Make sure that you know what's coming. Contract - Do you understand the contract. Is it fair? Is everything spelled out? When it comes down going to court, only what is WRITTEN really counts, not what was promised. Make sure that you have no doubts before signing. Read it ALL. What about deposits and payments? What does it say about cancellations and the photographer not being there? If the photographer protests, ask him why? This is one area NOT to take lightly. You could be disappointed for a long time. References - A personal reference is always the best and people love to talk. Get a list of references from the photographer and check them out personally. A photographer who doesn't have references or is afraid to give them to you may not be the person that you need to hire. Other Questions: (some questions may be repeated from the list above) Have you shot a wedding at my location before? Do you have an assistant? Do you have backup equipment and is it the same quality as the primary equipment? What time will you begin and how long will you stay until? When will the proofs be ready? Do we get to keep the proofs? Do you mark your proofs? Where and how are your proofs marked? How much extra for unmarked proofs? Do we get to keep our negatives? How long do you keep the negatives and will you sell them to us? Do you use high speed film to expose natural light? Do you have tele-photo and wide-angle lenses? Do you work well with the other vendors? i.e.: coordinators, caterers, videographers. Can you work from a photo checklist that we create? How will you be dressed? Do you process and develop your own film and prints? What goes on the all important contract? The name of your photographer The time that he/she arrives and leaves The number of proofs you will view in order to pick your enlargements and/or keep The description of the package you ordered A list of guaranteed prices for enlargements. If they have a brochure with prices then get the photographer to write down that the prices on the brochure they gave you are the prices that you will be charged. The cutoff date for these brochure prices. All additional charges, services, taxes, travel, etc... Get the exact cost on the contract. An explanation of what happens if your photographer doesn't show up. The date and deposit amount and how much is still owing. Your name, address and phone number. The names and addresses of the ceremony and reception locations.

Jimmy Choo, OBE, born Choo Yeang Keat,  is a Malaysian fashion designer based in London, United Kingdom. He is best known for founding Jimmy Choo Ltd that became known for its handmade women's shoes.

Choo was born in Penang, Malaysia, into a family of shoemakers, who are of ChineseHakka descent. His family name is Chow but was misspelled on his birth certificate as Choo. He made his first shoe when he was 11 years old. He is perhaps the most notable of students of Cordwainers Technical College in Hackney, England, from which he graduated in 1983. (The college is now part of the London College of Fashion.) Choo has divulged that he worked part time at restaurants and as a cleaner at a shoe factory to help fund his college education.

Jimmy Choo traced his beginnings back to his workshop in Hackney, North London, which he opened in 1986 by renting an old hospital building. His craftsmanship and designs were soon noticed and he came to the verge of international notability when his creations were featured in a record eight pages in a 1988 issue of Vogue. Patronage from Diana, Princess of Wales, from 1990 further boosted his image.

In 1996, he co-founded Jimmy Choo Ltd with British Vogue magazine accessories editor Tamara Mellon.

In April 2001, Choo sold his 50% stake in the company for £10 million. He has since concentrated his work on the exclusive Jimmy Choo Couture line produced under license from Jimmy Choo Ltd. The Jimmy Choo London line, also known as Jimmy Choo Ready-To-Wear or, simply, Jimmy Choo, is under the purview of Mellon. The ready-to-wear line has expanded to include accessories such as handbags.

Kavita Sidhu, Jimmy Choo, a local businessman, Andrea Fonseka and Amber Chia

Choo lives in London and is currently involved in a project to set up a shoemaking institute in Malaysia, where his iconic status is often evoked to inspire budding shoemakers and fashion designers. Jimmy Choo Ltd. produces some of the most expensive high-end shoes.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Choo

Choo, who married a fellow student from Cord-wainers' College and has a daughter, still makes about five pairs of custom shoes weekly at his by-appointment-only workshop in central London. These Jimmy Choos bear the "handmade" designation on their soles, unlike those sold at top retailers and in the 30 Jimmy Choo stores around the world. He is the recipient of an Order of the British Empire (OBE) designation, as well as a Dato title, the Malaysian equivalent of a peerage. His rather old-fashioned style of business, much in the style of his father's artisanry, suits him better than designing full-scale, fashion-driven collections. "Shoes are a personal thing, a personal touch, " he said in an interview with Rose Shepherd of London's Mail on Sunday. "Everyone can sketch them, but to understand where they're comfortable, where they fit, where's the balance, that's important."

Mr. Jimmy Choo!!=)
