Q: Trying to locate 32 cheap cake platters for a wedding?
I need 32 glass/plastic, preferrable glass though cake stands. They are to sit in the center of tables at a wedding reception. They need to be able to hold a 10 inch cake. Just your basic one that most people have around the home but I need 32 of them. Any ideas or web sites?

Preferrably under $10.00 each if possible.

A: Gosh, don’t buy them. Contact rental stores or party stores. Even try a ladies’ church group that does catering.

Q: What do you think of this wedding cake idea?
This is the wedding cake I’m thinking of, but 1. I don’t know if it would look good aesthetically, and 2. I don’t know how hard or easy it would be to make…

It’s an Independence Day wedding(next year, lol), so I was thinking 5 equal sized tiers, separated by short glass cylinders with white flowers in them. The layers would be star-shaped, but each one slightly skewed, so that the overall effect looks like a star column that got twisted. Three layers(1,3, & 5) would be white with a blue ribbon around the base and pearl blue swiss dots, and two layers(2 & 4) would be blue with a white ribbon around the base and pearl white swiss dots. Since it’s nearly impossible to find a star-shaped cake stand let alone one with equal sizing for all tiers, lol…in each crevice of the star formation would sit a single red rose…but only on four sides. Along one side, down the entire length of the cake would be a spread of white roses.

What do you think of this cake? Does it sound ok?………
How hard or easy does it seem to make? Any suggestions?

Thanks. (=

A: It sounds hard to make. Maybe you should just pay a shop to make it for you xD

Oh God, I thought it was going to be some crappy tacky idea but your idea sounds pretty good.

Q: How to keep carbonated water bubbly?
My center pieces for my wedding are little cakes and the stand is Martini Glasses. Well in the glass we were thinking of putting colored carbonated water to it looks cool all bubbly. But How can I make the bubbles last all night? What can I use maybe as an alternative? Also my fiance mentioned dry ice would look real cool but that might effect the cake that is on top of the glass right? Any suggestions? Does anyone know of dry ice like that? Or to keep a liquid fizzing?

A: Category?

Carbonated water is so from being saturated with carbon dioxide gas. As you have figured out the flowing fountain will, by way of agitation, release the CO2 to the environment rendering the water fizzless or flat. One way to keep the fizz going is by using a liquid tank of CO2 and a diffusing stone. The stone is placed in the water reservoir and a controlled flow of gas is released.

Tank of CO2
Tank Regulator
Plastic tubing
A diffusion stone

Each of these can be purchased from a local party of home beer and wine shop.

A major concern that I have with the idea is the pumps ability to function with the dissolved gas. If the gas is released in the pump )depends on its type) the pockets of gas, as would air, render it function-less. It may not be able to circulate the water. Trial and error is the teacher here.

Lou Rev, has a good idea. Perhaps a tablet that works like the antacids do may work. {Alka Seltzer }

Q: Cake Question??? HELP!!!?
My wedding is less than 3 months away (August 8th), and I was just informed today by my mother that the bakery we’re getting our cake through does not have a three tiered, silver plated cake stand that will hold cupcakes on the bottom two tiers and a small round cake on the top. I have looked all over the internet and I can find three tiered cupcake trays but they have the foundation or “pillar” holding the tiers above each other going right through the top making it impossible to use a small round on the top. The only other silver plated cake things I’ve been able to find thus far is a silver plated footed base which are nice but no dice without more tiers.

Does anyone know where I could find one, preferably to rent but will buy if I have to, in Des Moines, IA or online? I would even use a footed silver plated base and a three tiered glass one if someone could show me what I needed and how to put it together.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thank you in advance!!!
My cake will look a lot like these do. I want the stand to do the same thing…

You could add glass plates.

*edit
Wow look at what this bride did with plates and wine glasses!
You could use silver chargers, platters or plates. I love it!

*am arriving to the wedding in a horse and carriage
*having love doves released
*am having a horse and coach cake stand
*am having carriage style favour boxes filled with white chocolate truffle mouses
* am having a glass slipper ice sculpture

am i missing anything?

please dont leave a snide remark..this is my dream wedding day, it may not be to everyones taste but there you go.
sorry that should be cinderella STYLE dress…its not blue..lol..its a pink and white crystal dress
MJR…yes thats true…we checked with guests before hand that it would be ok to do this as moving abroad means we wont be taking anything over with us but a few clothes. the moving money is coming out of the sale of our house so we can afford this wedding.
KK…looks like you are getting me mixed up with someone else! Never heard of you before! And if cinderella is for 8 years all only why is it one of the number one wedding themes?

A: That sounds really cute! I’ve thought about doing that. Arriving to the wedding in a horse and carriage is really cool! My friend is a disney fanatic and would love these ideas.

Q: (appalling) evening wedding experience – your opinion?
I had been invited to an evening wedding celebration at 19.30 on Saturday night. The bride was not a close friend of a relative, so I did not expect a sit down meal or anything, but I did expect a buffet and actually being a part of the wedding celebration (i.e. speeches, toasts, champagne and a disco to follow). I also expected a bit of the wedding cake. When me and my partner turned up (on time), it had become obvious that there had already been a sit-down meal (presumably just for the family), and that the actual celebration was already over (the champagne was drank, the food and the cake – eaten, favours – handed out). We did not really know anyone, so just sat at the table (on someone else’s chairs), chocolate wrappers, unwrapped favours and empty champagne glasses in front of us. Then the tables got moved away for disco and at least we saw the first dance. But both of us were hungry and very dissappointed (partly because we put a £20 in a card and thought it just was not worth it). The bride vanished and I could not say “bye”. We finished our drinks and went home. I thanked her on the Facebook for a wonderful evening, but I was cringing as I was writing it.

Is this a traditional way of conducting an evening wedding celebration or do you also think it was very poorly thought-through? Just need my adequacy check.

P.S. Only a few people (i.e. 2) came at a later time just like us and seemed to be also feeling left-out. It made us 4 stand out even more.

A: It sounds like they had one celebration–ceremony, food, champagne, etc.–for the people they really wanted to be there, then invited those they didn’t really care about later. This is extremely rude and I am sorry it happened to you.
You are very kind to have thanked the bride. I would have retrieved my card (if it hadn’t been put into her hand or something like that) and never spoke to her again.
A colleague once regaled us with every detail of her wedding–from the moment she started bullying her hapless boyfriend about proposing, through when he did it, through every little detail of her plans. Then she circulated an e-mail inviting us, the day before the ceremony. Some people went, “Oh, how nice!” but I realized what happened–the people she really invited weren’t coming and now she needed seat-fillers. I never go anywhere that I am B-listed. Either I am one of the main guests, or don’t even bother.

Q: Wedding Ideas, Thoughts, Advice – 10 points?
My fiance and I are planning a music theme wedding that is somewhat non traditional. I am wearing a red dress he is wearing a white suit with red tie/vest. Two of my piano students are playing for the church ceremony.I am looking for thoughts, and maybe more ideas can anybody help?
-Concert Ticket style wedding invitations – RSVP by sending the ticket stub
- Tables for reception named after the great composers
- I am making the tablecloth overlays of red material with music note pattern
- Phantom of the Opera overture when we walk into the reception (we like the drama of it)
- The bouquets are silk flowers with Music note patterened ribbon
- The boutonniere pins are shaped like little guitars
- Placecard holders are little music stands
- Wedding favours are personalized M and M’s and custom guitar picks with our names and date
- Cake is being done by a friend and is going to have a piece of music scrolling around the sides in icing instead of flowers or ribbons.
- Our bride/groom glasses have gold leaf music notes
- Instead of banging glasses, people have sing a line from a song to get us to kiss – yes I know most people won’t want to do that which is why we are going to – that way we can eat our food

What do you guys think? Any other suggestions on how to incorporate more music theme into decorating, etc? I will give ten points to the most helpful.
The chocolate music notes I’m worried about transporting cause its a summer wedding but I will look at them. As for the guitar picks, most of the people coming are guitarists or bassists and they are only about a buck a piece.

A: You are getting married in a church, correct? I cannot think of the name of it, but you know those fabric things people lay on the walkway to walk on top of? Make it white with black music notes on it?

Q: I THINK it’s a good idea……?
I found an old huge farmhouse with a large next door lot that would make the perfect wedding venue. The house needs a lot of work, but it is doable. My husband (excellent gardener – his passion) and I would live in the top and have room on the lower floor for small weddings (30-40 people), a private garden in the back (would hold 30-40 people), and the lot next door could be fenced (7′ white privacy) and have room for a large gazebo and could easily hold 100 for ceremony and reception. I would go kind of french country (not too much, though) with a fleur de lis theme, and supply all linens, tables, chairs, glass tableware, centerpiece options, cake stands and cake, could do catering (I have 3 that I work with a lot) I have a great photographer,can do flowers and would have the ipod ability inside and out. I can serve alcohol, but not sell it, so they would have to bring their own.If you could have your wedding here for 45/person, would you? what else do I need to consider?
I should let you know, there is parking 1 1/2 blocks away, and 3 local churches in case of rain (I’ve already spoken with them). City Council was easy to work with – no restrictions except a 11:00 p.m. noise abatement on Saturday nite. There’s also a small vacant house across the street that could be a great honeymoon cottage.
outside lighting, I have thought about that a lot. I found black iron lamposts that (they tell me) will illuminate all the areas if they are in the 4 corners of the lot.
Don’t need lots of space for living. This is a much needed business in this area that my husband and I could run together. He retires in 4 years.

also, I’m SICK of brides getting ripped off. Vendors hear “wedding” and automatically jack up the prices. I want a nice place that makes people happy.
Oh Tammyj good plan. It has to be re-wired any way – a few more outlets won’t be hard.
Love in Paris – good thoughts, all. I did research on insurance, not as bad as I thought.
Picture a small farming community that was WAY out in boondocks 10 years ago, but the city has and is moving that direction with great access roads being built.

The 45.00 includes rental. I know the down side is the parking issue, but there isn’t another lot available that is big enough right now. This property is CHEAP right now, but in 4 or 5 years probably won’t be.

Would love to talk to you more – you make a lot of good points.

A: well the idea sounds great and much of what would be sucess would have to do with the finished product. Your pricing you location, how you would advertise etc.

I own a hotel and banquet center it is alot of hard work and you need to factor in that you really won’t make money for the first year since most weddings are booked in advance. Then also how much will you be charging for the rental? How long will it take you to recover your investment? Do you have a kitchen area that a cater could use? How much parking is available I personally would not want to book my wedding at a place where my guests have to park 1 1/2 blocks away factoring in elderly guest and the weather. So my suggestion would be for you to look into valet parking companies so that could be an option you could present.

Also have you contacted a insurance agent to see what the cost to insure would run you since you will be operating a commerical business at the location.

You would not want to just focus on wedding if you are trying to do this to make a profit you need to advertise birthday parties, engagment parites, business meetings, wedding and bridal showers, anniversary parties, etc.

You need to look into the cost to advertise and figure will you beable to afford all the expenese such as advertising and insurance, upkeep etc while not turning a profit?

The idea is wonderful and think it would be a nice location I’m picturing it in my head but the only thing that confuses me is if it is a farm house how is it located so close to so many things so I don’t know if you want to maybe look at a different marking approach as you would think farm house on a farm you know.

Just some ideas. Buy your linen you can get it the cheapest on ebay you will make so much more money on the mark up.

Let me know what you are planning to charge and I will give you more input if you would like it.

Best of luck

I have been this for years if you have any questions mellpal@yahoo.com

What area are you in state wise.

I love old houses and think it would make a wonderful venue.

Charging the $45 per person what would be your profit?

How much would it take for you to do the remodel?

Email me if you want to chat about it

And if nothing else I would snap the property up could be a good investment in general.

Q: Is this a good idea for a bachlorette party? what do YOU think?? please read…i really need some opinions!!?
10 pts to best answer!!!

i know this is a bunch to read but i really want to hear what people have to say, is there anything else i can do to make this party better???

get two hotel rooms that everyone can meet up at get the party started. I will bring finger food we can eat, and make some YUMMY drinks. like some kinda good alcoholic punch and im going to get little mini martini glasses and make jellow shots (in lots of different colors)

i will also be making a cupcake stand with cupcakes AND a cake for the bride to be (colors hot pink and black)

kinda like this one….

http://www.pinkcakebox.com/images/cake516.jpg

and i want to get these for all the girls attending the party as a keepsake/ shot glass for the night lol

http://us.st12.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/yhst-24651492961167_2036_25340336

and i will get a shot glass AND the ball and chain margarita glass for the bride to be ( she can use the shot glass that night, and keep the ball and chain as a little reminder of the night lol)

http://us.st12.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/yhst-24651492961167_2036_5800380

Around 9 or so we will head to City Walk in Orlando ( http://www.universalorlando.com/citywalk.html )and continue the fun. If we want to go elsewhere in Orlando we can. city walk has like a bunch of nice resturaunts, bars, clubs and its overall pretty fun at night. Once we are all tired out we can head back to the hotel and sleep.

The cost for each individual would be around 65 dollars (that includes the hotel room and the party pass for City Walk) is that good?? i know that usually people dont have to PAY themselves, but i am NOT the maid of honor (she wont be in town until the day before the wedding, so i am doing it for her), and i can not afford paying for EVERYTHING so please dont tell me it is rude of me to ask for them to chip in for the hotel.

thanks!!
lol thanks for all the answers so far

ps….the cake is just an example…like the color and decor. i of course wont have the 16 on top lol i was thinking more like a high heel, or margarita glass or something girly/ partyish

A: There’s nothing wrong with asking the other girls to chip in, but you should get 1 hotel room it would be more fun having everyone together, or how about staying at someones house for that night. You should also get the bride to be a novelty vail, something announcing that she’s having her bachelorette party, sometimes the bartender gives free drinks, that can also save money. Also think about going to a strip club, everyone will have fun and they end up spending their own money, so you don’t get stuck paying for everything.
