Wedding stationary

We went to eBay to find somewhere to get our wedding stationary. After browsing thruogh a few different options we found Noah's Nuptials run by a lady called Abbi. She makes all types of wedding stationary - invitations, place cards, orders of service and thank you cards - all with beautiful designs and various embellishments.

We had narrowed down our options to Abbi and another company, but it turned out to be easy to choose between them. We requested samples from both - Abbi's arrived within two days and was absolutely beautiful, but the other didn't arrive until the next week and when it did, it looked like something we could have done ourselves on a desktop printer.

Abbi's website says:
Five years ago, my son Noah was born. I didn't want to return to work full time, knowing that I would be missing those first few crucial years. One day, my mum said to me "You're good with your hands, why don't you try making cards?"
That day, Noah's Nuptials was born.

And the rest, they say, is history! I never had to return to work and the hobby which was going to make me a little extra money is now a full time job.

So if you have something special in mind, a way to make your stationery perfect for you, just drop me a message and find out how I can bring it to life!

Abbi does have a shop on eBay, but also has her own website. She has a dozen designs to choose from and is willing to make changes as well for specific requests.

Guest lists dilemmas

We, like every other couple getting married I expect, have been having an issue with our guest lists.

Even without the lists provided by both sets of parents of people we really shouldn't forget to invite, we have a lot of people travelling from quite a distance to the wedding.

While some of those (like the best man!) were people who would be invited to the wedding breakfast anyway, some of them weren't, but if they had to leave early then they wouldn't be able to come to an evening do. They also wouldn't know the area at all, so they couldn't just pop home for some lunch and then come back for the evening.

Combined with all the children that our guests will be bringing, the numbers jumped quite quickly. At one point our list was something like 60 adults plus 17 children.

It would be so much simpler if we'd grown up within 10 miles of each other and never moved anywhere else! :-)
