The SG Notebook

Bible.org has quite a few samples of wedding vows. In case you haven’t seen them, here is the quick link.

Sample Number Three is very simple, and is the one that my husband and I used at our wedding. It’s perfectly fine and there is beauty in its simplicity, but in the years since, I have heard some extremely touching vows being exchanged which were written by the bride and groom themselves. Maybe this site I’ve linked to will help some couple to get ideas.

Happy Planning,

Maybe you have a close friend, or aunt, or grandmom who would just LOVE to do this for you. Either you could pay them or this could be their gift to you. It’s just a suggestion of a way to save if you’re on a tight budget, which many folks are! There are many sites about this, but there is one in particular which invites folks to tell their stories about their homemade cakes. After you click on the following link, you’ll find lots of ideas by clicking on “wedding cakes” on the sidebar.

Homemade Wedding Cake

Unless your really great at creative cake baking, I wouldn’t suggest adding to your stress level by trying it yourself though I would love to know if anyone has had a friend make their cake.

Now that we’re doing our weekly tip here at the blog, we thought it might be a good idea to go back and pick up the ones we already did on the main site. Since they couldn’t be archived there, there was no way that a new reader could benefit from the previous tips. We only had done a few, and I believe today’s is the first one that we offered. Other than one in particular that was a tip about a sale going on at a store, they all will now be here in the archives, so they can be referred back to. Aren’t blogs great?

This one is a link. If you’re interested in hymns which would be appropriate for the ceremony, we found this site to be quite helpful. You can check it out here. These are just the lyrics, but if you find one that seems a fit for you, I’m sure you can search out the tune(s) if you don’t know it already.

We LOVE hymns at SG! Many folks know that already. Perhaps some other hymn loving couples will be excited about how some of these old worship pieces would help magnify the Lord and enhance your praise to Him as you are joined together in matrimony on that coming special day.

Blessings,
Maxine

We thought it would be easier to do our weekly tip for brides here on the blog, so this is where you should come when you want to check out what it is on any given week. Check in on us here several times a week, in fact, because there will be other topics you may be interested in as well. This week’s tip:

You know how much we like personalized items here. How about a personalized wedding guest book using an online photo book creator? After viewing the short video demo, then follow the link below to find out more about this nice touch for your wedding:

Did you know we have tips and tidbits for brides? Well, we do. Every week we post a link or links to useful articles and resources to help with the wedding planning. Every now and then we may even include some spiritual encouragements. So far, we’ve posted links to helps with wedding hymns, writing your own vows, cake designs, and a link to a pretty decent sale going on of some items online. We even had a suggestion last week of what we think would make a great flower girl gift: paper dolls. I like that idea so much that I think we should post it again in the near future. There will be plenty more suggestions and tips, so if you know anyone else who may be interested, please let them know and have them come visit us. Our weekly tips page is here. This week you’ll find info about how to properly stuff the invitations.

By the way, if any of you have any links you think would be helpful to the bride-to-be and would like to pass them on, let us know in a comment or email us. We would especially welcome links to money saving suggestions. We’ll put any links we get into our tidbits folder and maybe feature it on our tips page. Thanks.

Happy Planning,

Maxine
