When planning your engagement party, you want to differentiate the details from your wedding by adding a creative touch. One way to do this is through your cake. Instead of a traditional cake, you can design an engagement cake focusing on the proposal and the ring. One of our favorites is the Engagement Ring Box Cake by Royal Cakes.
Modern technology has immensely simplified the process of creating and tracking wedding budgets for couples with apps, online trackers, and printable spreadsheets. Below are our top three favorite budgeting tools, in no particular order, based on effectiveness and usability.

You may spend months picking out the perfect wedding invitation design, but when it comes down to it, design isn’t enough. Your invitations also need to be polite and informative; they have to say the right thing in the right way, using only a few lines. Deciding how to word your invitations is tricky and, as always, Harsanik is here to help.
Traditionally, an American wedding invitation must include ten key lines:
Who is hosting, be it the bride’s parents, the grooms, or both. i.e. Mr. and Mrs. So-and-So
The request line, most commonly “request the honor of your presence"
The relationship of the hosts to the bride, groom, or both: “at the marriage of their daughter,” “their son and daughter", or "their children"
The name of the bride, first only, and middle if applicable (This may vary, usually if bride and groom are hosting, last name included)
The name of the groom, again, first and middle only (This may vary, usually if bride and groom or bride's parents are hosting, include full name and last name)
The day of the week, day, and month of the wedding
Time of wedding. Be sure to include the time of day, i.e. morning, afternoon, or evening.
Name of the wedding venue
Venue’s address
And, finally, reception information. If the reception is in the same location as the ceremony, a simple “reception to follow” is sufficient. If not, you will need to include the name and address of the reception venue as well.
