How about a witch under a house like the Wizard of Oz.  Thats what my ex reminds me of. I even photoshoped a picture of her face on a witch flying on a broom.

Keep it simple. \n\nThe Venue - you can have this outdoors with a markee or hire out one of your favourite cafes. \n\nThe dress - find a dress you love and get a dress maker to copy it. You can buy the material yourself to even reduce the costs. \n\nThe food & drinks - you buy the alcohol and pick a nice red and white wine with champagnes for toasting. Pick two beers for the boys make one a light. Finger food is a great option do you know a friend or take away/cafe that maybe able to help out.\n\nFlowers - get them from the market fresh the day before and put a relo in charge or helping arrange. Don't ask them for a gift just tell them their help is enough!\n\nCake - surely one of your relo's makes a great fruit cake. If so you can get a cake shop to put icing on top to match your dress material. \n\nCars - you only need two cars, see what resources you have a use two cars in the family. Otherwise hire two cars for the day this is so much cheaper than wedding car hire.   \n\nPool all your resources together, people are so willing to help. Just say to them not to buy a gift in return for their help this will be appreciated and you will find that they will still want to give you a token.

Chocolate Wedding Cake Recipe\n\n\n\nButter for greasing the cake pans. This is very important, do don’t forget!\n\n\n\n9 ounces chopped butter\n7 ounces of chopped white chocolate \n1/2 C. milk\n2 C. sugar\n2 eggs; beaten slightly\n1 orange zest; grated finely\n1/3 C. Grand Marnier\n1 3/4 C flour\n\n\n\n\nFrosting:\n\n\n2 C. powdered sugar\n3 C. cream, thickened\n14 ounces chopped white chocolate\n18 ounces chopped cream cheese\n\n\n\nInstructions\n\n\n\nFirst, grease and line 3 -8 inch or 9 inch round cake pans. Next, preheat oven to 320 F. \n\nAfter this, combine chocolate, butter, sugar and milk in a sauce pan. Use a medium heat. Stir until melted and remove from heat. Then, pour melted chocolate mixture into a large bowl and allow to cool. \n\nStir in the flour, eggs, orange zest and Grand Marnier using a wire whisk, until smooth. \n\nPour batter carefully into buttered pans. Bake until knife inserted into the center of cake comes out clean. To prevent cakes from over browning; cover halfway with foil. \n\nAllow cake to cool in cake pan for a few minutes. \n\n\nFrosting Instructions:\n\n\nMelt chocolate in a double boiler and allow to cool for a few moments. \n\nUsing half the cream cheese and powdered sugar, mix in a small bowl with electric mixer until smooth. Next, stir in the melted chocolate and beat until mixed. \n\nWhip the cream until you see soft peaks form. Fold it through the cream cheese mixture. \n\nNext, cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours or until firm enough to spread on the cake. Tip: You may need to stir the mixture just before icing the cake. \n\nThe next step will be to begin assembling and icing the cakes. Place the bottom layer cake on a plate or cake board and smooth the top with 1/4 C. icing; leaving about a 1/2" border around the edge with no icing.  \nNext, carefully place and center the second cake on top and repeat the same procedure.\n\nFinally, you will place the top layer cake, center it and frost it completely. \n\nSpecial Tip 1: You will need to invert the top cake layer so that there is a smooth surface for icing. Use three cake skewers to secure the cake. \n\nSpecial Tip 2: You may need to cut the skewers down to the right size to keep them from protruding from the cake; so that you can ice over them smoothly. Ice assembled cake completely. \n\nSpecial Note: You can ice this cake the day before you plan to serve it as long as it is kept refrigerated or you can make it up to three months in advance and freeze it; then ice it on the day you plan to serve it.

Well I would buy some champagne or wine to drink and get a can of whipping cream, fruit, like strawberries, some chocolate syrup, some ice cream and mix well in a bowl...\nEither some spoons or straws will do and each of you play strip poker and eat the delicasys...\nYum Yum...

I am not sure if this is the same thing as a "come and go" event, but we have a very large family and often hold what we call "open houses".  I advise a 2-3 hour time frame for the event.  Refreshments can be very simple, especially if you hold the shower during the afternoon hours of 2-5 or 1-4 since this is after lunch and before dinner.  Use small plates, 6 or 8 inch and provide finger foods - fresh veggies with dip, cut-up fresh fruit, small appetizers such as little quiche or little sausages wrapped around crescent roll dough.  Dessert can be sugar cookies made in hearts with the wedding date or bride and groom's names written on them.  Miniature cupcakes would be cute, too.  Provide something that will "unite" all the guests since they won't all be there at the same time.  Maybe provide a recipe card and a 3x5 card in each guest's invitation.  Have them bring a favorite recipe on the recipe card and some "advice" for the happy couple on the 3x5 card.  Have a pretty basket available to put the card in.  As each guest leaves, give them something small as a momento since you won't be able to do much in the way of games.  Perhaps a small votive candle or a little potpourri wrapped in tulle and ribbon that match the colors of the bride's colors.  After the party, as the bride-to-be unwraps each gift, take a digital or poloroid picture of her with the gift and send it in the thank-you card to the giver.  Make sure everyone has a name tag since the guest list is large.  Another option may be to consider a different venue for the party.  A church social hall, a school gym or cafeteria, a park with a gazebo, someone's back yard, may be possibilities to allow all guests to be there at the same time.  Also, if you have anyone nice enough to ask what they can do to help, be sure to accept their offer and see if they can either help set-up or clean-up or perhaps bring a veggie tray or make cookies.  This will help financially and will be less stress for you.

http://www.wilton.com sells styrofoam cake layers.  all you have to do is find someone to decorate it.  the bakery i worked in used them all the time for display cakes because they were easy to clean off and easy to reuse.\n\ni am getting married in july and i thought about doing this for my 3-layer cake (except the top of course) and serving all the cake from full sheets since it would be cheaper.

I'm a big fan of the website www.theknot.com.  You can go under real weddings and choose the catagories summer and outdoor weddings.  Get creative ideas from others and then cater it to your own vision.  \n1. A pot luck picnic is a great idea, especially if it's family only.  To coordinate the menu though, you will want to designate who brings what.\n2. Make your own invitations and use a postcard for the rsvp (it will save on using an additional envelope plus the postage).  Get ideas off of the knot website.\n3. Compile your own cds.  My brother is going to be the master of ceremonies for ours and has now recruited others to join him.  \n4. David's Bridal is always advertising dresses for $99.  You can also check out what they have online and print out your favorites to bring to the appt.\n5. Enlist the help of the amateurs...that have a bit of skill.  Know anyone who takes good pictures...there's your photographer.  Know anyone who can make a cake...there you go!  You can go with a simple 3 tier round cake with white frosting and decorate it with cascading daisies.\n\nHope this helps!

Have an evening candlit ceremony back home with a dessert or hors d'ourves buffet at the reception instead of a full on meal.  When I got married I contemplated eloping, but realized I would regret not having my dad walk me down the aisle or having our dance....so, depending on what means the most to you, you should be able to decide what is best.  Congrats and good luck!

First of all, figure out something about who you are as a couple that you can use as a theme in your wedding – something you like to do, a place you love to go to, your first date… try to think of ways to bring that theme in, whether it’s setting up karaoke if you love that, or basing everying on Moulin Rouge.  There are other unusal things you can do, too.  One thing I’ve heard of is to have a photo booth brought in to your reception site – it can give you and/or your guests some fun mementoes.  One of my friends named her tables after different spots that held memories for her and her fiancé – at each table was a card with a picture of the place and a short story or explanation on the back.  With the right location, you can set your reception up so that it flows through different rooms – one room for appetizers and cocktails, done up all in blue, then the next room for the main meal, done all in white, then another room for dancing and cake, done all in pink; this can be done with different themes/colors/etc, or all the same theme.  You can set up a little “lounge” area, with couches and comfy chairs for people to hang out.  The website below has some other interesting ideas.  Good luck, and congratulations!

oh my goodness, I love this website. It has helped me out so many times! Check it out!\n\nhttp://www.lovingyou.com/\n\nOr, you could do something with the traditional sixth anniversary gifts... iron or candy. \n\nThere was once that I wanted to do something really special for my husband and I came up with all these ideas. First of all I hid a card in the car telling him that when he got home, it was going to be very special. \nI had the house decorated really cute with balloons and crate paper, my two year old loved helping me with them!\n\nI wrote him a love letter explaining why he was so important to me and wrote it on very pretty stationary paper.\nI bought some fake rose petals and put them in a hot bath, then shared the bath with him along with a nice bottle of wine.\nI made him his favorite dinner along with his favorite dessert and went on a picnic with him... (your kids would probably love this, especially if you go to a park, depending on their ages)\n\nThere are so many things you can do to show him how much you care for and love him without having to spend a lot of money!\n\nGood luck!

A fruit basket would be nice... or something you baked like a cake, an apple pie or some cookies.
