Wedding Memories and Why My Aunts Stopped Feuding

For several years my aunts had been feuding with one another. What actually started the misunderstanding, finally ended in a misunderstanding. While I won't go into detail of the exact reason my aunts were feuding, I can tell you, it started tearing the rest of the family a part as well.

Well, on the day of my wedding come hell or high water I decided to invite both of my aunts. The cards were stacked against me and my family constantly reminded me that they might not show up. To my amazement and surprise, they both showed. And neither of them argued with one another the entire time. As a matter of fact they started talking to one another again!

I was so relieved that I told them so. It was then that I learned about the misunderstanding and that I hadn't been the only one trying to get them to talk to each other again. My Aunt C's husband had been doing th exact same thing!

It's wonderful to see that my aunts are talking again and it all started with my wedding. What a wonderful memory!

Weddings and memories are both precious. I remember when I first started looking at all of the different invitations available for weddings. There were sooo many to choose from! At that time going online to look at wedding invitations actually scared me. What happened if I ordered them and they ended up looking like something totally different than I had imagined? I seriously doubt most places would have allowed a full refund of my purchase just because my wedding invitation wasn't exactly how I pictured it to be. So end the end there would have been more frustration than anything.

Planning your wedding should not be about frustration or fear, however. And to make things a little easier I found an invitation website that is doing something about that fear. 1st Class Wedding Invitations has a very unique feature that I have not found anywhere else.

When you go to their website and find a wedding invitation you like, you can zoom over that invitation and see it close up. It's like look at the invitation right in front of you. I love it! My favorite happens to be the Modern Leaf Invitation. Check it out! I really wish this feature would have been available when I got married! Instead I chose to create my own invitations. Which was just as nice, by the way.

Renaissance Wedding Invitations

When I had my wedding, I missed out on a few things that just weren't the same, when they're not done professionally. For example: Wedding Invitations. I wanted my wedding invitation to be unique. 1st Class has some really unique wedding invitations that I love.

Their Bride and Groom in Carriage Invitation would have been perfect for the wedding I had. I wanted something with a bit of Renaissance Flair, and this is perfect.


One great thing that I found with 1st Class is that their website very easy to browse. I love the fact that you can view invitations by theme and by color. But, what makes their site even better is, you can also view the invitations by paper type. How cool is that?

There is also a FAQ page where you're able to find answers to many of the questions you probably already have. There is also list of links from that page where you can get answers to your questions about organizing your invitations, wedding etiquette, planning and even expenses.
Have a question about your wedding invitations that's not on the website? You can easily contact them by email or call their toll-free number.

If you're planning a wedding and you're not sure where to begin when it comes to wedding invitations, please check out 1st Class. After all, your wedding is special and your wedding invitation should be too.
