Hmm since its more formal, I would. Besides if most of the people that are going to your reception is unable to attend your DW then I say go for it.. Besides your spending so much money on a dress, might as well get the most out of it.. :-)
I have mine for sale on preowned wedding dress.. shoot I can't remember the name right now but I can forward to you. They have a ton of pretty dresses on there.
I do believe I'm excited as you are.. OMG OMG OMG OMG.. CONGRATS... Ahhhh now how many people did you wake up this morning to tell? YEAH Congrats again..
BTW,, Your ring is BEAUTIFUL...
Hmm good question.. I'm really not sure. Have you asked the salon you got your dress from? I would try a tighter slip first, and if it still doesn't work then have another slip built in.. Just be sure your tailor is good..
I ended up tipping Juan, only because he ended up sticking around for an extra 1/2 hour to take some pics of our toast. But I don't think it was expected, in fact Cain said when he gave it to him he was completely thrown off by it..
I think the ideas the girls already mentioned are great. I always wanted something from Tiffany, Cain said he was going to buy me something for our wedding gift but then we decide not to exchange gifts. So I'll wait for another holiday to get it. :-)
I had a paino player and to be honest I could barely hear her because the waves drawn out so much sound. IMO if I could do over I would have either spent the extra money on a trio or I would have had nothing.
