You also can hire an independent graphic designer to design one-of-a-kind invitations, or, if you’re design-savvy, you can design them yourself. Whatever route you choose, the general rule is to order them about 4-5 months before your wedding, once the guest list is fi nalized.

LAS VEGAS—MGM Mirage Inc. officials building the CityCenter complex on the Las Vegas Strip say rooms in three of its hotels will use advanced technology to let guests customize their room environment.
The company says guests staying at the $9.1 billion complex expected to open next year will be able to save settings for lights, the television, music and curtains, and have the room recognize them and adjust when the guest enters or leaves.
MGM Mirage Chief Design and Construction Officer Bobby Baldwin says the sophisticated technology will be used in the casino-hotel Aria, and non-gambling hotels Mandarin Oriental and the Harmon Hotel, Spa & Residences.

While most bride and grooms traditionally cut a wedding cake on their special day, fast food fans Tom and Kerry Watts enjoyed a huge burger complete with all the trimmings.

The American diner believes it to be the UK’s first ever giant wedding burger.
Mr Watts, a 36-year-old firefighter, said: “Not only did I get to marry the woman of my dreams but I also got to have the burger of my dreams in the same day…
I wonder if they had a side of fries with that.

It’s a question Howard Bashford pondered long and hard before launching his post-eHarmony – or Match.com or SearchYourLove – Web venture.
“Sure, those dating or romance sites can help you find Mr. or Ms. Right,” says the online entrepreneur, “but there’s still that uncomfortable matter of commitment. People want to get married, but there can be those nagging questions: Is he/she truly the one? How do I know for sure? What if somebody better comes along?
“People find ’til death do us part’ just too … how do I put this … too confining. Look at the John Edwards case. The old ‘cleave only unto her’ line simply didn’t work out, and the poor guy felt really bad about breaking his word.”
Bashford paused as if for dramatic effect.
“This is where SafeVows.com comes in,” he says. “We recognized that while values have evolved over the years, people still believe a promise is a promise. A person feels he should honor his word, even in changing circumstances, like when a really hot woman shows up at campaign headquarters.
“SafeVows.com will tailor a set of wedding vows for couples who aren’t comfortable with the old – and we think outdated – absolutist approach to marriage. We can write a ’saving clause’ that will cover any eventuality.”
