I'm going to try this. They also have a recipe that is one can pumpkin one cake mix two Tbs water and bake as normal. You can't taste the pumpkin and it keeps the cupcakes really moist.
You have to keep in mind that they may not be helping financially but if they've helped a lot with preparation I think you should consider giving them a gift.
many places offer free credit counseling which allows you to meet with a professional to discuss your finances and go over a budget and ways to handle budgeting. It is really helpful to go over it with a third party. I work as a financial counselor and I can't tell you how often people are dishonest about their finances. It's very common for someone to come into our office for help to deal with credit card debt and they don't want us to call their home because their spouse doesn't know. Finances can be split in multiple ways. It can be done according to the percentage of pay, if you bring in 80% of the pay then you cover 80% of the expenses. It can be combined 100%. It can be left separately. Even if it is left separately spouses should always know what the other spouse has going on because if something happens you will need to assume responsibility for their spouses finances. It's best to be in the know.
You only get this day once, so do what you want. I do agree that everyone has their opinion, but it's your wedding. You don't want to look back with regrets. Present it as a great opportunity for them to have a vacation from their kids!
This is so awesome!! We wanted to try to do something like this with our escort cards. We painted a magnetic board and asked people to replace their escort card with a picture from their photo booth.
My nephew is that child! He is sweet and loveable and an absolute disaster! I don't really have a choice but to have kids considering I have 7 nephews and my my fiance has 13 nieces and nephews. We are a little concerned about the mass amounts of children at our wedding but we shortened up the timeline and we have some fun activities for them to do. Fingers crossed it goes well.
