When a couple gets engaged, it’s common for them to ask their friends and family members for wedding planning advice. Sometimes, however, this advice can overstep people’s boundaries, making them feel like the engaged couple is stealing their best vendors, cherished DIY ideas and favorite style tips.

After planning your own unique and stylish wedding celebration, would you share your best ideas with a friend or family member? At what point does it become mooching off the kindness of friends and family? Does the idea of someone copying your wedding make you want to rant or rave?

Here at Wedding Paper Divas, we’ve made it our mission to revive the art of letter writing by offering exquisite stationery that will inspire you to keep in touch with friends and celebrate in style. While emails and text messages might be right at your fingertips all day long, we think there’s something irresistible about a hand written note that arrives in the mail.

These days it seems like only long distance lovers ever send love letters anymore, and even then email and online chatting are the preferred methods of communication. But, as evidence that the love letter is still a cherished art form, we have seen gorgeous wedding photo books featuring excerpts from love letters that would make your heart melt! Plus, some of us have even been lucky enough to receive these little gems in our mailboxes from time to time.

We can’t help but to fall in love all over again when we get a handwritten letter in the mail—but what about you? Do you find the romance in love letters, or do you think they are a relic of the pre-Internet past? Has your beloved ever sent you a hand written note? Do love letters make you want to rant or rave?

Throwing the bouquet is a time-honored tradition for most brides (it’s always funny to see one’s girlfriends and female relatives clamoring after the little bundle of flowers!), but there’s another toss that seems to cause a lot of anxiety at wedding receptions. Many people think it’s a tradition to have the groom slip the garter off his new bride’s leg to throw to all of the single men in attendance in much the same way that a bride throws her bouquet.

The problem is that in order to accomplish this, the bride has to bare her leg to all of the guests in attendance! Some women find this mortifying and inappropriate. What do you think? Have you heard of any fun alternatives? Does the garter toss make you want to rant or rave?
