    2 or 3 probably ...

    South Jersey! I also like the South Asian board (he is, I'm not - so I get tips on there for cultural/ceremony type stuff since I'm pretty clueless!)

    Have you bought alot of wedding items yet?
    Yesss! I got a great deal on print your own invites at Swoozies in Marlton. we have ALL invites and everything invite related and tons of thank you cards. We also booked our photographer (Capone), reception/ceremony venue (Brigalias), and DJ (DiNardo Brothers).

    Yes! I'm just getting the hang of it but I like to lurk and even search for questions and see what you girls have said

    What question would you like to ask me or any of the girls?
    (1) How do you get your signature? I want my ticker to come up, but the URL or whateer I post never works. Usually just does the typed html or whatever it is ...

    (2) Has anyone used a rental place for centerpieces? Like vases? I found sites online, through boards on here, and heard reccomendations for $ store, but wasn't sure if there was a place locally to rent.
