Guestbooks have become a staple within the wedding industry. But sometimes, it’s difficult to write down everything someone wants to say about a couple on the wedding day — there are just all the memories, the nostalgia, and the feelings!

Thu + Rich, the Video
Yesterday, I blogged about Thu and Rich’s wedding being featured on 100 Layer Cake. Today, I want to share their video by Kate Headley on Vimeo. It really highlights the ambiance of their wedding day. I love it. Happy Friday!
No Thank You… (What I Don’t Want)
After coming up with yet another “must have”, my dear fiancé turned to me and said, is there anything that you don’t want??
Well, yes, there is, actually!
Cake Toppers
In general, I’m just not a fan of them. We have decided we want the cake to be beautiful on its own. This means that the baker is going to add more design…which may actually cost us more money in the long run. But hey! It IS something that I do not want at our wedding.
Videographer
Neither of us like videography. I sort of hate it after an incident where a videographer literally knocked me off the dance floor –without an apology– so that he could get a better shot of the bride.
Besides, I feel that they ruin the ambiance. There is always a lot of equipment and they seem to get in the way. Long before the official proposal, we both agreed: no videographer.
Save the Dates — STDs
I have a little theory as to why STDs have become so popular in the last few years. As a new bride-to-be, you have a lot of energy. You want to do something for your wedding. You decide to create STDs!
Seriously though, I cannot begin to express why I despise them so much. Here’s a few of the reasons:
-
Couples send STDs to everyone on their wedding list. Six months down the road, they realize that they want to cut their guest list. They cannot, however, since they sent that person a STD.
-
A lot of girls try to save money when making their STDs. I’m all for saving money– but some of the STDs are tacky. The STD is the first “taste” of your wedding. Do you want that first “taste” to be cheap? If you can’t afford them, cut them from your budget! For the $75 you spend on STDs, you can put that money towards upgrading your wedding jewelry, calligraphy for your invitations, etc.
-
I don’t think many guests actually save the date. If someone is going to attend your wedding, they probably already know the date from talking to you. If someone doesn’t know your date, that probably means that they don’t know you very well. If that person doesn’t know you very well, then they are probably not going to save the date for you.
Is there anything that you don’t want at your wedding?
