WEDDINGS Wedding FAQs
Question:
Who is invited to the Rehearsal dinner according to
proper etiquette? Are all guests and the vendors invited too?
Answer:
Traditionally, only those who are actually required
to participate in the rehearsal i.e. everyone who has any role to
play in the Wedding Ceremony, are invited. This will include the
Bride and Groom, their parents, the Officiant, the Wedding party
including kids if they are attendants and the readers. Naturally,
their spouses/dates will have to be invited as well.
Apart from them, you may, if you wish, extend the
guest list to include close relatives and friends and out of town
guests.
Question:
I was wondering what I am supposed to do with the
leftover cake after all the guests have been served a portion. Is it
okay to take it home?
Answer:
By all means it is okay to take the remaining cake
home. Portions of the cake may be taken home and some of it may be
shipped to relatives and friends who were not able to make it to the
wedding.
Some couples even store a portion of the cake to eat
at their first wedding anniversary, or at the christening of their
first child.

PETS
Choosing a Kennel for Your Dog
If you are a pet owner and you need to be away from your dog or
dog for more than a day, you probably will need to house your pet
in a kennel. Kennels are like motels for pets. Kennels take care
of your pets when their owners aren’t available. While there are
many different types of kennels, it is important to plan ahead in
order to assure that your pet is safe and comfortable while you
are away from home. Here are some tips on choosing a kennel.
When choosing a kennel plan ahead. Don’t wait till the last minute
to contact kennels around your area. If you have recently moved to
a new area or have a new pet, do some research and check out the
local kennels. You don’t want to receive word that you have to
leave home in a few hours, only to rush and drop off your pet at a
kennel that you don’t feel comfortable with.
When talking to the kennel personnel, make sure you ask lots of
questions about the size of the cage, amenities and diet they give
to the dogs. If you have more than one dog, ask if they can be
together or in adjoining cages. Some kennels are climate
controlled, while others are not. It is also important to make the
kennel aware of any health problems or other issues your pet may
have.
Choosing the right kennel will give you piece of mind, when you
are away from your pet. Leaving your pet for someone else to care
for is a very serious issue for many pet owners, which is why it
is extremely important when choosing a kennel.

Cool Photo Frames
Materials:
Wooden picture frame/s
Glue, tape
Paint
String
Sea shells, sand, small pebbles, jigsaw pieces, buttons
Cardboard
Dry pasta shapes
Your favorite photos
How-to
Sea theme frame
Collect some shells, sand and some small pebbles from the beach.
Paint the frame blue. Apply glue to half of the frame (the bottom
half) and cover with the sand. Once this is done glue on the small
pebbles and shells. Draw a small sun from card, paint it yellow
and glue it to the top right corner. Of course you could cover the
whole of the frame in shells if you desire.
Jazzy frame
Paint the frame any colour you like but for a jazzy look bright
pinks and yellows look best. Decide on what pasta shapes you would
like to use. Now lay them on a sheet of paper the same size as the
frame and experiment with the design. Once you have got your
desired design paint the pasta shapes in a variety of colours.
Glue them to the frame and stick in a photo of you and your
friends.
Button frame
You can usually pick up bags of buttons from fairs, charity shops,
for net to nothing or ask your nan or your mother if they have
any. I have collected bags of buttons, beads and other bits and
pieces for years they always come in handy. Glue a mass of
different shapes, sizes and coloured buttons to your frame. It
will look amazing.
Puzzle frame
Don`t throw out that jigsaw that has half the pieces missing -
instead paint them in bright colours and make a frame for your
favourite photo.
Paint the jigsaw in your favourite
colours. You can either have them multi-colours or just two
colours such as black and white. Glue the photo to a piece of card
that is just a bit bigger. Once your jigsaw pieces are dry glue
them to the card. They must overlap so that you cant see any of
the card. Tape a bit of string to the back to hang from the wall.
