Jewish Wedding Info

Did You Know? When a traditional wedding invitation seems to be just so… - traditional, you can always do something like this? Gruda Design, an Israeli graphic desginer in NJ was the author of this wedding invitation for a couple who were willing to come a bit closer to the edge. (Perhaps a bit over the edge for most people.) The transformed Bazooka bubble gum comic strip works well for an invitation because, in addition to the cartoon, it contains a Hayadata? section where the date, time and place of the wedding can be put in.

Ever notice how the Chosson and Kallah arrive ever so fashionably late to the Sheva Brachos party made in their honor? Even though they’ve been looking forward to hearing another couple of speeches from relatives they never knew they had (I guess that’s what they call Panim Chadoshos) and to having to respond another dozen times to “So, how’s married life?”, they seem to always get held back by this, that, and the other. Or could there be a trend here? If you’re the host of a Sheva Brachos party, we think it’s time you planned well and did things right, and also threw in a bit of the WOW factor into your party, so the new couple will add another wonderful evening to the memory scrapbook of their wedding.

You also want it done right, you don’t want to doodle it. And to do it properly, you need research, you need legwork and most of all time, time that you probably didn’t have to begin with. This is why bridal expos are so popular. In one room, in one day you get to talk to all the service providers and vendors, ask your questions and compare their offers.
