From my experience though I remember my aunt and uncles first wedding almost 10 years ago and on their 5 year anni. they got re-married and went on their first honeymoon. They had their second wedding in a big open field that had nothing around for what seemed like miles. They had a couple huge tents set up and an area set up for the ceremony. They catered in food from one of their favorite resturants and hired a DJ. They had their family and friend and were more relaxed because, hey they had already done it one. They also had a small wedding cake and then a huge dessert bar when frankly was better because there was something for everyone. They were able to have the music up as loud as they wanted and couple keep it going forever. She also changed into a shorter white "party" dress after the ceremony which was a more sexy dress verses her first traditional dress. She said that being able to be relaxedd and have things really open and fun was a million times better than her first wedding. Hope this helps. P.S. They went to tennessee for their honeymoon and rented a cabin for a week, they visited a couple dinner shows, went shopping, went on a few hikes and things like that.

It is not rude by any means and actually people appreciate having this information in hand with the invitation. Go for it!

The rule is "Never mention gifts on the invitation." The one exception to this rule is the Shower. This is because the entire purpose behind a shower is gift-giving, or as some would say, "to shower the guest-of-honor with gifts." Therefore, a bridal shower and a baby shower are the only parties where one may mention gifts on the face of the invitation itself. Best wishes!

If you buy online you can probably save 30% and get better quality. Try one of the reputable online jewelers like http://www.jamesallen.com/ or http://www.bluenile.com. They both have very good quality rings and diamonds, very low prices with a 30 day return policy. On James Allen you can also see actual photos of the diamonds before you make your purchase. good luck!

In today's sucky economy, it's best to get what you can afford. BUT show that you put some thought into it. For example, you can get a very inexpensive Palladium band and have a very short message engraved inside the ring. It's the memory that counts. If you can afford a diamond, try internet diamond sellers like www.dbof.com Good luck! * * * That 3 month figure is a diamond industry guideline.
