Consider Donating your Wedding gown

You have been blessed with a beautiful wedding day. Everything was perfect, the venue, the photographer, the food, the gown. Your gown made your day special, you felt like a princess for a day. Why not share this special feeling with someone else and make a dream come true at the same time.

The Making Memories Foundation works hand in hand with Brides Against Breast CancerTM and hosts the Nationwide Tour of Gowns. This sale continues to be an important fund-raising event for Making Memories. More than 32 yearly shows provide brides-to-be with an opportunity to find their dream gown (at an incredible savings) while making wishes and dreams come true for women and men who are losing their fight against breast cancer; money raised during the sale goes towards their battle.

Help some dreams come true!!!

Making Memories is in need of contemporary gown styles, slips and veils dating from 2005 until the present day. Each gown that arrives at their organization is carefully prepared for the upcoming "Brides Against Breast CancerTM, Nationwide Tour of Gowns" sales. The thousands of generous donations they receive from designers, manufactures, bridal shops, and individuals worldwide, enables Making Memories the ability to grant final wishes to women and men suffering from terminal breast cancer.

Be Inspired to make a dream come true!!

Planning an October Wedding

If you have not read this blog before, I should inform you that Fall is by far my favorite season. The colors that the season brings with it are my favorites. So it should not be a surprise when I fell in love with a stamp...yes I said a stamp.

Zazzle has an "October Wedding" stamp and it is beautiful.

Remember that your RSVP envelopes should include a stamp for easy mailing. Zazzle has created an RSVP stamp keeping up the autumn theme and colors.

RSVP Fall Wedding Postage Stamp from Zazzle.com

You can choose from 3 different sizes, small (1.8 x 1.3), medium (2.1 x 1.3) and large (2.5 x 1.5). Prices range from $21.10 to $23.80 for a sheet of 20 stamps.



Mailing Tips

When you first receive your invitations, assemble one complete invitation (including the tissue paper, all additional inserts, and the stamp on the return response envelope) and take it to your local Post Office for weight and measurement. Sometimes it's the size and not the weight which may require more postage than one first class stamp.
If you are concerned about any damage to your invitations request that they be hand canceled with a rubber stamp, instead of by a machine. The front of the envelope will be cleaner and more attractive.
