RECEPTION Making It 10262 views
Here is another fabulous idea for budding D.I.Y. brides! This time we go Blue Peter style with Konnie Huq at the helm, telling us how to make the best of our wedding paraphernalia, with a bit of clever Kodak software.
Even though Konnie Huq's Blue Peter days are over, she is putting her skills and creativity into good use, by launching the brand new Kodak Creative Lab. The queen of crafts is urging all Britons to dig out old photos from under the bed, including those wedding photos, and to turn them into something creative and fun rather than let them gather dust where they're not seen. Konnie comments, 'When it comes to 
being creative with your pictures, the sky’s the limit! You’re only bound by your imagination.'The new Kodak Creative Lab provides ideas and inspiration to do more with your photos, from creating albums and invitations to gift ideas and even puzzles! So girls, whether it is for the invites or for table favours, it's definitely worth a try! Even better, you can create your own scrapbook following your hen weekend which could include
photos, tickets, receipts, postcards and any other memorabilia that you collected, providing the ultimate gift for a bride2be, or simply a fantastic memento of all the fun you had. You could do the same for your honeymoon too. Konnie suggests, 'Combine the pictures with all of 
your other memorabilia. You can create a totally unique travel guide’. So, get busy and get making with this new software, creating scrapbooks and many more things to cherish all of those memories of your big day.

RECEPTION You are Invited 12643 views
Wedding stationery design house Chartula Studio, has come up with an innovative way to help brides keep the budget down on their stationery.
Anyone choosing an idea from the Chartula Studio boutique collection of designs can now simply click the online calculator at chartula.co.uk to find out how much they will save by planning ahead and having all their stationery printed in one go.
“We know that weddings are expensive, but we also know that your stationery really sets the tone for the event, which is why we want to
do everything we can to help couples have the stationery of their dreams, but without the budget of their nightmares,” said Chartula founder, Charlotte Hewson.
“Most brides tend to choose a stationery design and then have the separate elements, such as save the date cards, invitations and table plans, printed as each date approaches. What we’ve done here is helped them see how much they can save by having all the printing done at once, which is a far more cost effective option and can trim an average of a third off their printing costs."
Top TipIn addition, Charlotte also provides advice and tips on how to get the most out of your print run. For example, choosing a plain style for menu covers which double up as order of service covers can be a good idea, and can easily be achieved if you choose a design where loose-leaf inserts can be printed separately on a home computer at a later date and tied in with a co-ordinating ribbon.
Another tip is to print individual escort cards – which can usually easily be fitted onto an existing print run – rather than a formal table plan, as these can be simply filled in by hand as the time approaches, making it a much more flexible option as far as seating arrangements for the big day are concerned.

RECEPTION Little Chocs 13965 views
Little chocolates make yummy treats for wedding guests and look fab on the tables at the reception whether in favour boxes or wrapped in ribbon. We have three choccy finds we know your guests will love!
Prestat (020 7629 4838 prestat.co.uk) – chocolatiers to The Queen – is one of the oldest chocolate houses in London. Its assorted chocolates and truffles are entirely handmade in Great Britain. Loyal customers have included Roald Dahl, author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, who “adored” Prestat truffles. Perfect for weddings, The Jewel box (£3.75 for 40g) is filled with Napoleon III truffles and is illustrated by renowned artist Kitty Arden.
Margo down at Margo's Shop says going 'personalised' is the only way to whether it is chocolate or an a la Coleen style bikini. Selling cute little bars of chocolate (60p each) in silver or gold wraps, the outer wrap can be personalised with the first names of the bride and groom and 
the wedding date. All you need to do is slip the wrap onto the chocolate bar - and perhaps finish with a pretty ribbon to match your colour theme.Finally, we just cannot resist the cute butterfly chocolates at Confetti. Milk chocolate squares wrapped in silver foil with a pink butterfly design outer are perfect for a summer wedding. When we looked they were in the sale too - reduced to £4.99 for 100 pieces. Quite a bargain!
