Children at the wedding.

Ladies, I really need your advice and I mean seriously. So my dilemma is whether to have children at the wedding or not. No please hear me out first. I love kids ( I have a 2 year old myself) and I would love to have them at the wedding but my problem is that based on the guests invited I have 22 children. That's not counting anyone above 12. I'm talking about 22 children under 9. I've finally found a venue and the capacity is 100 people. I have 90 adults on my list although I haven't sent out my invites or received RSVPs yet so I don't have the final count yet.

The thing is I've heard alot of people say that if they can't bring their kids to a wedding, they're not going. Yet the last at least 4 weddings i've been to, the invitations said adults only or adult reception etc. I didn't have any issues with that since I don't think I can have a really good time at a party with a baby anyway, especially one that goes well into the night.

But I really don't want to alienate anyone. I don't want anyone to refuse because they think i'm being selfish. Please let me know what you think. Am I being unreasonable? What would you do? Help!!!!!

Centerpiece Mock up II

Hello my lovlies, I had an earlier post where I showed my tablescape among other little projects. I got good feedback on it, but like all my other consumed bride colleagues, who are constanly scouring the world wide web for even more inspiration. For those of you who didn't see it, here's a pic of the original idea:

Bear in mind that this is my cardbox and if I go with this option, it will be slightly smaller and shorter but the concept will be the same.

Here's the second option with the lights on:


and with the lights off:
So I need your honest opinion, the boxes would cost about half what the vases would cost but I would honestly go with whichever is prettier since either option is within our budget. Which one do you like best?

Weigh- In Wednesdays

Yay in the midst of all the madnes, i've lost another 2 lbs. So thats 5 lbs so far, 29 to go. It's really hard and I have to pass up on some really delish looking things especially deserts like cheesecake, cheesecake people! Oh well, it's for a good cause and as cliche as it may sound, I feel like a new woman. I'm more energized and in a much better mood. I just have to drool when I see all those really, really, really mouth-watering, tantalizing, succulent, fall off the bone gastronomic delights. Ok i'm making myself hungry so i'll sign off for now.

Wedding Obsession

Is everyone as obsessed with their wedding or is it just me? I mean I eat, sleep and breathe my wedding or just weddings in general. It's the last thing I think of before bed and first thing when I wake up. I don't think that's normal, is it? Please ladies, let me know if I need to take a chill pill. Does anyone else feel like this? TTFN (ta ta for now).
