bridal gala

caso, the bridal fair was kind of a bust although i did get to have a few snacks of ruth chris steak appetizers (yum!). it didn't have as many vendors as i was expecting. pretty much only one caterer; i emailed them when i got home. yam and i looked through a few invitations books, tried some cake, looked at some dresses, and registered for prizes (didn't win anything, of course).

there was one invitation style that i thought was cool. it's called seal and send. i hadn't seen it before. it's everything in one. the invitation folds up, so no envelope required & the bottom tears off to be the response card. neat idea. below is an example.



cake was pretty good. it was by lucy the cake lady. i sent her an email to get more info.

i went by the artist market at lowe mill after the fair this afternoon and remembered that tina's cantina does catering. i've never eaten there, but everything i've seen or heard about sounds really good. tina's does all kinds of homecooking & it's organic. they also do vegetarian and vegan dishes & everything comes from local meat and vegetable vendors which i like. i sent an email to get more info about their catering menu, prices, etc. we'd be buying local which is great. i think it's a good option. we'll see what they say.

so, i guess i might go to the bridal fair that's going on tomorrow. there's also another one next saturday. bridal fairs everywhere! maybe if i go to the one tomorrow, i'll actually win a prize. that'd be nice.
