It’s always difficult trying to stay in budget or within a set number of guests, so we hope this flowchart from Uniquely Inviting helps 🔔

Oh and always remember to count yourselves when counting guests 😊

You can download a PDF of the chart via this link https://uniquelyinviting.com/wedding-invitations-101-making-a-guest-list/

Looking at photos of past weddings, remembered these "guests" at a family farm! (I've also had to share the centre stage with kids, dogs, and llamas!)

Happy 10th anniversary Candice and Luke! How did that time go so fast? However, at a wedding recently, I met lady at the reception whose wedding I did in 2007, and I think she was surprised how much I remembered of the couple and their day- simple, all of "my" couples are special, I love this "job"!

just a reminder.....

It’s World Proposal Day!

Remember - either one of you can propose marriage and although the ideas in this article are quite creative, you can simply choose to just ask a question.

still a way to go

It's Blog time and today Celebrant Sonia Collins reminds us that even though Australia has achieved marriage equality, that has not ended the struggles for the LGTBIQA+ community.

I had a garden wedding here yesterday, at 2.02, on 22-02-2022 (perhaps should have been 2.22pm!!), when it was 22 degrees. A very happy "Twos"day!! Congratulations Larissa and Luke

While we can't have visitors inside to the home, we are allowed outside gatherings of 20 people, so I can have small weddings here, as long as you remain outside. I have had lots of weddings here in my front gazebo, and it's never looked (or smelled) better, jasmine is out, and the mulberry tree, front verandah and back fernery are looking pretty good too for photos! I still need 1 month's notice unless your NOIM is already lodged with me, or if transferring from another celebrant. Happy Spring!

Might still not be up-to-date re home weddings, numbers allowed, but generally worth considering other implications outlined- e.g. canapes, dancing, sitting household together, distance from singers etc

An Interesting article and a great resource...
