Extras

Ok what do I do.....
FH is VERY involved int he wedding planning. He knows everything I do... costs and all. I love that he is involved. It has made planning together absolutely wonderful.
I am not sure how I feel about slippers .. should I supply them? What do you think? Do I need to give them out?

I am not Italian but FH is 100% . I asked him if he wanted to do the Italian almonds and he said no. He thinks it is a waste. Should we do it though?

We are doing many extras ..... we personalized much of our wedding. Should those things be done?

TIA

We didn't have a slipper basket or Jordan almonds (though neither of us are Italian) but nobody missed them!

I sya only do what is important to you!!

ETA: We had MANY other extras- photobooth and candy buffet were the big ones!

I don't think the slippers are needed. I never even considered doing them. There are so many things that people around here do that aren't done in other places. I have never been to a wedding with slippers.

I really wanted to do a slipper basket too, but decided not to because most of my friends looked at me like a had three heads when I asked them if I should do one or not. I'm pretty sure most people don't even know what they are, so they will not miss them.

Thanks. Your advice makes me feel much better about not doing those things.

i've mentioned the slipper basket to so many people and unless they're on here, no one thought it was a cool idea. ok, saves me $.

skip the jordan almonds.

Re: Extras

im not planning on doing a slipper basket. while cute i dont want everyone prancing around in slippers ha ha!

but almonds are cultural! it could be on the table during dessert or if you do a candy bar there!

not necessary though!
