Jordan Almonds: just make sure there's an odd number (i.e. 5) per guest. Italians think it's unlucky to have an even number.

So thrilled to see this thread! There's nothing better than a big fat italian wedding! I too will be having family come in from Italy and will be having Italian music, etc. It looks like everyone on here has had the favor dilema. Im getting a photbooth and wanted to do the pictures and frames as favors, but I think my family would look at me like I was crazy...especially my grandmother!!

Thought FH and I were the only Italians that didn't like Frank...

Re: Official Italian Bride Thread

Do any of you Italian ladies know of a good DJ with an Italian MC? I'm thinking of going with a DJ instead of paying rediculous amount of money for an italian band.

Thanks!

My sister got married this past december and she used DJ's Unlimited. They had an italian speaking MC... my entire family LOVED him. I did not hire him for my own wedding because by that time I had booked my DJ and FH wanted more of a 'toned down' DJ (this MC was very involved but my family is crazy and loves that stuff lol)
