Think of it like this: essentially, you are hosting a party. You want all of your guests to feel comfortable, since that will make the evening more enjoyable for everyone. Your friend probably would not have asked if she didn’t think it could potentially cause a problem. If seating her somewhere else does not interrupt your entire seating arrangement, you should put her somewhere else. And if moving her to a new table is just not an option, then the two should not be seated next to each other.

Do It for<br />
Less!<br />
A 1920s Wedding<br />
By Rebekah Roberson<br />
Love the extravagance of Jay Gatsby but<br />
not his price tag? Here are some ideas on<br />
how to get a Jay Gatsby look on a Nick<br />
Carraway budget.<br />

Gold urns can cost anywhere from $30 to $300! For savings,<br />
we bought some terra cotta urns for $13 from Home Depot<br />
and spray painted them gold. Not only did it save us money, it<br />
allowed us to get the exact gold hue we wanted.<br />

Love the look of a geometric cake, but not its price tag? Get<br />
one that only has one layer of real cake. You’ll be able to cut a<br />
slice from that one during the reception and serve guests from<br />
a sheet cake kept in the back. The remaining tiers will look 100%<br />
authentic, but will be made of Styrofoam covered in icing or<br />
fondant to match the real cake.<br />
Engraved invitations were on trend during twenties weddings,<br />
but the effect can be costly. A modern and sometimes more<br />
economical approach, is to get thermography or letterpress<br />
invitations. If doing-it-completely-yourself isn’t for you, but you’d<br />
love to save some dough, getting your invitations printed by a<br />
stationer and then assembling them yourself saves time<br />
and money.<br />

What lasting impression can guests leave for your big<br />
day? For our Gatsby-inspired guestbook, we used a<br />
recycled cigar box. Guests wrote on pieces of brown<br />
paper with gold markers that they rolled to re-create<br />
the look of a cigar. The messages were pulled together<br />
with gold elastics.<br />
The mall is great in a lot of ways, but if you want a ring<br />
that’s different from every other lady’s in your yoga<br />
class, an independent jeweler is a great way to go!<br />
Not only are these establishments more competitive<br />
when it comes to pricing, but they’re also able to make<br />
custom pieces that can replicate big name brands,<br />
without the big name price tag.<br />
Though beautiful, flowers come at a highcost. An ubertrendy,<br />
non-flower option is a brooch bouquet. It’s a<br />
lovely way to incorporate heirloom jewelry into your<br />
big day. Make it soft by adding some silk flowers or<br />
ribbon detail.<br />
