The Parent Trap II

Gosh, I didn't realize that so many more questions regarding dealing with divorced parents would come in... so this might go on for a few more days. We've been flooded with questions, and we'd love to help, so keep them coming!



Today we'll talk about receiving lines.



Problem:: "Both of my fiance's parents and my parents have divorced and then have remarried - there are just so many people to keep track up it will make you dizzy! Help me with who stands in the receiving line to greet guests?"



Solution:: Well, first, you don't have to do a receiving line, it does take up a bit of time, and as long as you calculate that into your timeline, and know that this will take away from photography time with your new husband and families, then you'll be good to go. But if everyone wants to participate, here's a sample lineup:

• Bride's Mother


• Bride's Stepfather


• Groom's Stepfather


• Groom's Mother


• Bride


• Groom


• Bride's


• Bride's Stepmother


• Bride's Father


• Groom's Father


• Groom's Stepmother

Phew! Is that too long for you? It's okay to simply include your biological parents, or to forgot the tradition all together. Many couples perfer to visit each guest at their table and make some schedule mingle time after they are done eating to make the rounds and welcome their friends and families. Its' a much more intimate and informal way to thank all of your friends and family for attending.

The Parent Trap

Recently we've received many questions in regards to dealing with divorced parents, as if wedding planning and etiquette weren't tricky enough, right!

I know that you have some dilemmas, and I want to help you with your questions. Over the next few days I'll take your heated problems that seem to be causing you quite the drama, and give you some clever solutions to the sticky issues that you are facing.

Let's figure out how to handle things before the wedding, and discuss your decisions with your parents. We know every family's dynamics are different, so feel free to improvise and let us be your sounding board, comment away with suggestions as well!

Dancing Do's and Don'ts

Problem:: "My fiance wants to have a mother/son dance. Am I expected to have a father/daughter dance? Can I dance with my mom instead, since I am not on the best terms with my father since his divorce?"



Solution:: You're under no obligation to do a traditional father/daughter dance. Instead, you may want to consider including both your parents, or having a dance with all of the members of both families to take the edge off. You could have separate dances and songs for each of them in you wanted. Or (my favorite option) choose one tune for a "parent(s) dance" and start out with Dear Ole' Dad, and then half way through switch to your mom, or step dad... mix it up a bit.

Raising The Bar

So often, as we get closer to the wedding the client starts to wonder just how much people will drink at their wedding. For a few reasons, either they are buying the Adult Libations and need to figure out how much, or their venue charges per drink, and they aren't sure how much it'll cost and how to budget.... or, or, or.



There are several books that explain this, and lots of Booze Calculators online, but here's a nice breakdown for 100 guests at a reception. Just a generalization to get you where you need to go, and the cost should be roughly, including soda's and mixer's about $800 - and remember you can return unopened bottles after the wedding!



Alcohol Breakdown:



100 Guests:



167 bottles of beer

24 bottles of wine

9 bottles of liquor



Margarita/Sour Mix

1 cases of White Wine

1 case of Red Wine

Beer: (Amstel Light like) 6 {24 cases}

Jack Daniels: 1.75 liters

Tanguaray: 1 liters

Dewer's: 1.75 liters

Light Bacardi: 1.75 liters

Schmirnoff: 5 Liters

Jose: 1 Liter

Dry Vermouth: 1 bottles {if at all, in my Extra Dry Martini, I don't}

Sweet Vermouth {only if you want to do Manhattan's}

Brut Rose/Champagne – 15 bottles



Plus Soda and Additional Mixers

Brad Pitt betrayed Angelina Jolie?

Accordng to Star Magazine covers, Brad Pitt is flirting with his co-star in Inglourious Basterds, Diane Kruger. I don't know whether is true or not?

According to source for the maagazine, "Angie loves Brad and wants to trust him, but she also knows that their own love blossomed while working on a movie together. Now she's convinced that Diane has a crush on Brad, and she's scared something could happen."

Angelina Jolie pays tribute to Clint Eastwood

Angelina Jolie

Angeline Jolie is a capable woman. She can schedule her time for her career, children and humanitarian work. But I didn't know she can also make people surprise. She make a surprise at Monday night's Hollywood Film Festival Awards Gala on Monday night. When she was there, she tribute to director Clint Eastwood.

She told the audience "There are some people in this business that are icons, and we often wonder if, when we meet them, they'll live up to what we imagine them to be. And Clint Eastwood in person is even better."

Then she added "Clint is what every great director should be. He is a great leader. And I certainly would follow him anywhere."

Well, how I wish if she can also make surprise for me by appearing infront of me now. LOL.

More on Amy L.!

I am a pretty easy-going bride-to-be. I don't get stressed out too easily. I love every part of planning a wedding. I didn't think one second of the year engagement would be stressful for me.

But...a few weeks into my engagement, I discovered that I had no clue what to do as far as bridesmaids! As long as I've been planning my wedding in my head (since I was about 9), I imagined I would have somewhere between 4 and 6 bridesmaids. Isn't that perfect? Isn't that how many everyone has? Isn't that how it is in the movies?

Well, when I got engaged, and started realistically thinking about it, there was no way I could have between 4 and 6 bridesmaids. My fiancé was very comfortable with 6 groomsmen without leaving anyone out, so it was perfect if we could both have 6. However, I had 9 girls and I needed them ALL in my wedding. I lost sleep over it, and waited a few months before asking, thinking, "maybe I can just have 1 maid of honor and find other roles for the rest of them!" I couldn't imagine having 9 girls standing next to me. Isn't that crazy and overwhelming? My fiancé had 6. I hated to think that our sides would be uneven.



But when I realized what a big role all of these girls had played in my life, how sad I would feel to leave any of them out, and how important it was to me to have them in my wedding, I had no choice but to ask all of them! And I'm just so happy that I did. I'm the luckiest girl to have such close friends!



It makes the planning process all the more exciting. And guess what? It's the new trend to not have the numbers match between bridesmaids and groomsmen. So although the bridesmaid decision was definitely the most stressful, I am so thankful with the outcome!

Angelina Jolie feel the pressure of marry from her kids

There are people pressuring Angelina Jolie to settle down. No, not from her relatives or her dad or not from Brad's family. They are her kids.

She told Italian edition of Vanity Fair magazine "Sooner or later it will be the kids who ask us (to get married). You know, they see films and start asking questions. Such as, 'Why are Shrek and Fiona married and you're not?' "

Cake + Truffles = Heaven in my Mouth!!!

Okay, so most of you know that I love to cook and bake, and I love to cook and bake gourmet style, right?





Well, I do! And most of the things that I eat, I always think, aw shucks, I can do that! Or this would be so much better with a touch of this. Or why should I buy that when I can just make that...Basically, I am a food snob... I fully admit it.



But this time... I tried... and I tried, but I couldn't do it.



I've made delicious chocolate truffles, melt-in-your-mouth-amazing-truffles, and I've made some incredibly-moist-delicious-cakes, and I've even made Cake Truffles... and those were pretty darned good!



But when Kathy called me and told me she had a little something she wanted me to try and give her some feedback, of course I had to take her up on it... nothing she has ever made has been anything less than amazing.

I took a small golf ball sized piece of the most moist decadent cake enveloped in imported chocolates, and quite honestly didn’t know what to say. The bit of the first one I tried was chocolate cake with imported chocolate blanketing it. And I thought I had died and gone to heaven.



So then, the following week, she called and said she had made a coconut truffle and I had to try it. I waited this time until I got home. I sat down, very scientifically to try this creation (and then to look in the box and see 3 additional flavors… I thought that’s it… I am a in HEAVEN!)

I can’t even explain the deliciousness that hit my tongue – my tastebuds didn’t know what do to… there is no way to reinvent this, or remake this.



I called Kathy immediately and told her it was truly “Orgasmic” there was no other words, it was perfection.



Then, the Pumpkin Pie Kake Truffle… forget it, it was Pumpkin Pie Heaven in my mouth!



{there was also White Cake with Strawberry Filling, and Orange Dreamscile – all were amazing!!!}



Okay so now you are mad at me, because most of you aren't local and can't as easily get your hands on these... but the good news is that I am sure Kathy can ship them to you (right Kathy?) - and if you are local and you are dying to try them, get yourself to Dorn's Wine and Spirits next to my office.... and you can try them right then and there!

Gosh, I could go for a Coconut Kake Truffle right now.... Yummmmmmmmmmm!

Kids are Angelina Jolie's main priority

Angelina Jolie

Ever since she gave birth to her twins babies, Angelina Jolie's priority is her kids. Her career only comes second.

She tells Vanity Fair "The kids are my priority, so it's possible that from now on I will make fewer movies. I may even stop altogether. I no longer have the ambition I had in my 20s."

"In reality my life is a lot more chaotic and adventurous now. Brad [Pitt] and I pilot airplanes, we travel non-stop, we go to difficult places and we have chosen to do it taking all of the kids with us," said the mother of six. "I feel a lot braver now than when I was an angry young woman."

According to Kathy McManus, of Liberty Mutual Group, a global insurance company that conducted the poll "The index shows that people want more responsibility in their lives, but they’re not always certain how to achieve that goal.

What do you do in real life? I am a student in a intensive Dental Hygiene Program!



Favorite Part about Planning your Wedding?



One of my favorite parts about planning my wedding is that it is for me! Every decision is made based on my specific taste. I get to pick my favorite colors, my favorite flowers, my favorite ideas, my favorite looks, etc. But my absolute favorite part about planning my wedding is knowing that in less than 10 months, I get to marry my best friend. I am looking forward to being married to Danny, more than I am looking forward to the wedding day itself. And that's saying a lot for someone who loves weddings so much!



Least Favorite Part about Planning your Wedding?



I think my least favorite part/the hardest part about planning my wedding is having so many opinions. Everyone has different takes on every little thing and it is truly impossible to make the wedding ideal for everyone. But it is also really hard to be selfish and just try to make the wedding ideal for Danny and me. It would be a lot easier if everyone had my same opinion on everything! ;)



What is the best piece of wedding advice you've ever received?



At this point, the best advice I've received is to make our wedding a reflection of who we are as a couple. I think it is important that our wedding day really does reflect us. I loved this advice because it actually made it easier to relax and not focus on making the wedding perfect or over-the-top!

Angelina Jolie and family live like normal people

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie might travel the world with their six children, Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh and twins Knox and Vivienne, but they aren't letting their supserstar status influence how they raise their family.



"When the kids misbehave, they send them to their room and make them think about what they've done," says a family insider. "Then Brad or Angelina will come talk to the kids and make sure they understand what they did wrong. It's all about teaching them responsibility and to think for themselves."



Click here for OK!'s Ultimate Angelina Jolie gallery!



Part of becoming indepent thinker includes exploring other countries – something that the Jolie-Pitt children have come to enjoy. "If you tell [the kids] we're getting on a plane tomorrow, they're all all excited to pack their bags, and if you say we're not coming back for months, they won't bat an eye," Angie recently told W magazine. "I think they see the world as a home."



Eventhough Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are celebrities but they live just like any other normal people.

When it comes to travelling other countries, this is what Angelina Jolie has to say about her kids "If you tell [the kids] we're getting on a plane tomorrow, they're all all excited to pack their bags, and if you say we're not coming back for months, they won't bat an eye.

Angelina Jolie talks about refugees

Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie hosted a symposium on international law and justice Friday. The event took place at the Council on Foreign Relations headquarters in New York. During the event, she said "Over the past seven years, I've worked with UNHCR and I've traveled around the world trying to bring attention to refugees.It's been a remarkable education."

Talking about the victims during her visit of war-torn countries around the world, she said "I've seen refugees return to live among the same people who attacked them.They are returning to the same lawlessness that sent them running in the first place. I've seen aid workers tear up as they put ladies on a bus and say, 'I don't know what we're sending them back to.'"

Angelina Jolie joins together with Microsoft Corp joins together to create legal system

Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie has teams up together with Microsoft Corp., law firms and corporate law departments to implement a legal system for children of parents involved in U.S. immigration proceedings.

According to Brad Smith, who is Microsoft’s general counsel, said in a statement
“Through our support of KIND, we hope to inspire the participation of many more representatives of our legal community to offer these children the fundamental protection they need. Every lawyer has a professional responsibility to provide pro bono legal services to those unable to pay".

In a statement, Angelina Jolie said “These children often have nothing; no money, no support and no family, yet they come to America seeking its promises of a better life. But many end up becoming lost, traumatized, and ultimately forgotten,” Jolie said in a statement.

It is amazing that Angelina Jolie can always have time to do humanitarian work despite of having so many children to take care of and to juggle her work. She is like "Superwoman"!

"My kids were born in different countries, in Asia, Africa, and Europe, and I expect them to learn about those places and to appreciate all other parts of the world, not just their own.

"Yes, they have their own nationalities and are very proud of them, but that certainly doesn't diminish the fact that they're American. To me, that is what being American is

Budget Bride's Ideas!

Things are tight all round right now, money is getting tighter, and if you watch the stock market ticker, you are probably dizzy by now!



I've noticed that brides are starting to cut back on things - and there are smart ways to cut back, and not so smart ways to cut back...



How difficult is it to make cuts to your budget?



That depends on how much you need to cut - and what you are willing to cut back on. The obvious choice is to cut back on the number of guests, because if you are paying $60 per person and cut 50 people from your guest list, that's $3000.



But what if cutting guests isn't an option.

Scale back, more affordable linens, more affordable china, a different menu, signature drink bar, instead of full open bar, only serve beer and wine instead of a full bar.



Scale back on your flowers, do some additional DIY projects, cut out the program, use a lesser paper on your invitations, don't do thermography printing, don't use cotton paper.



There are lots of ways to cut back...



These are just a few options on ways to cut back, but one thing to never skimp on is photography, I wouldn't recommend having Aunt Jane do your photography, unless Aunt Jane is a pro... the only you have in the end are those photographs... so better to higher a great photographer's cheapest package then risking not having any photographs at all.

Blogging Brides!

So far in Blogging Brides, this has to be my favorite story! I think some of the best stories are always the ones that you can fully relate to, and are true... so with out further ado, Amy F. and her story of the bewbies!

first of all, i am so excited to be a part of the blogger brides series for melissa at "adventures in wedding planning." thank you for having me and creating a social network for all of us overzealous brides!

{keeping the girls happy}



soon after i bought my strapless wedding dress, i knew i needed a bewbie-lifter and a tummy tucker. i hoped to accomplish this by purchasing a corset. so, i saw one posted online and bought it! i know. so stupid. but my girls have been the same for a long time..and i've been wearing the same size over-the-shoulder..well, you get the idea. needless to say, it did not do what i wanted it to do. it did not lift. it did not tuck. back to the drawing board...



last weekend i ran out of the house to do some errands. i had planned only to go to the local drug store to grab some shampoo and conditioner and a few other quick buys, so of course, i did not shower. instead, i threw on a hat, slapped on a little deodorant to cover the sleepy sweat smell, and made a bee line for the store.



on the way home, i passed by a beautiful little lingerie store. i had always drooled over the lacy things posed so elegantly in the window. i thought, "i'll just peep my little head in and ask if they carry corsets, or something similar for my big day."



holy cow, these women were crazy. two of them who were eating lunch behind a big velvet curtain, dropped their forks and came to the front of the store to whisk me in...the third one was showing me this control top panty-shorts thing and was telling me how great it was. she promised it would suck in my 30-year-old tummy, and lift my saggy bottom without flattening it down like other brands do.



"but what about the girls?" i asked.



it didn't take them 30 seconds to have me in a dressing room. one girl was removing my tank top, while the other unleashed my bra. i thought for a second i had wandered into some secret underground "love shop" if you know what i mean, and was ready to break out the mace. fortunately i was too distracted by my mortification of un-showered bewbies and semi-stubbly armpits to make a move for my purse..



as i stood there, bewbs in hands, one of the girls approached me with what looked like shoulder pads. she motioned that she wanted to put them on me...



"you want to see my ..?" i asked.



she explained that she'd seen it all before...and i reluctantly let them free. she complimented me on my girls.. (smile)..and placed stuck the "shoulder pads" on them...clasped them together...and spun me around to face the mirror.



my jaw dropped. it was perfect! lift, cleavage, no straps. "i'll take it!"



walking home, i thought back on the whole situation. i cringed at the thought that i might have just been taken for a ride.



i tried on the ensemble as soon as i got home...the bra, the shorts...and of course, my dress. ladies..i can not tell you enough how happy i am that i stopped in that lingerie store on the way home. it all works together like a blissful, bridal dream.



curious about the bra and shorts?



bra: nubra

control top shorts: falke shaping shorts

Angelina Jolie brings Maddox to shop for knives

Angelina Jolie

Normally parents will bring their children for shopping and see those cute soft toys but for Angelina Jolie, she is totally different. She brings her son Maddox shopping for knives.

Will this be a good thing for Maddox? According to dailymail.co.uk, during an interview to the American fashion magazine W, she said "We take him to a special shop. We also talk about samurais and the idea about defending someone as good. We talk about everything".

She added that "it is something of a family tradition" as her late mother, Marcheline Bertrand, had taken her shopping for a knife when she was just 11.

"It was the strangest feeling. I woke up one day and they were going to introduce me to a kid and I wondered how I would feel, and the moment I saw him I knew I was his mother.I can't explain it and I don't know why I chose that country but it was absolutely meant to be.

Angelina Jolie may vote Barack Obama?

Angelina Jolie hasn't reveal who she will vote in the U.S. presidential election but she compliments Barack Obama.

She tells the German edition of Vanity Fair that both Obama and her has common interests.

When quoted whether his background will be an example to her family, she responded, "Naturally that's good, but it's not a sufficient reason to vote for him.

"Obama fights for international justice, he wants to militarily intervene in cases of genocide, and close Guantanamo Bay. These are the things that could move me to vote for him, not his roots."

Then she added, "Naturally, an American president like Barack Obama would be nice for my family."

She told in November's W "I think one of the life changing things that he did, one of many, is that I was absolutely never going to get pregnant. I never felt that it was the right thing to do. Now I wouldn't trade that experience for the world. It taught me a lot about life, just the process of it, and now we have three other beautiful children that wouldn't otherwise be here."

She added "I knew he would never see them as different, and that gave me a certain peace. Then I suppose I just looked at him and loved him and just felt open to [getting pregnant]. I suddenly wanted to. It's one of those things you can't explain".
