The Glö-Bride: Lindsay – Teacher, Head of Dept
Her Glö-partner: Graham – Whizzkid @O2
Celebration Date & Location: 29 October in Staffordshire, UK
Tell us how you got engaged: We had just been travelling around the world for 3 months after being together for about 3 and a half years. We got back to the UK and found another place to live. Graham SAID he was going to work the Monday after we moved in, but he really went to Hatton Garden in London to buy a ring! He came home, told me to put on a nice frock coz we were going out to dinner – and then popped the question!
What’s the overall ‘feeling’ you’re aiming for with your celebration: We really want to have a fun, relaxed, happy atmosphere, and we certainly do NOT want a circus, with mega money and gluttony. Graham is part Scottish so is going to wear his family kilt – so there’s a bit of highland fling going on!
Are you adding any fun twists on tradition: It’s a bit of a secret – but we are having personalised favours which are things that come from places we come from. We are also going to put a ‘one-liner’ or ‘interesting fact’ about each person sitting at each table to get some funny stories/conversations going during the meal.
Now show us your vites and site!
Save the Date Glövite
How does your Glövite and Glösite design fit with your celebration: We wanted the site to be very user friendly as we have a very mixed demographic using it, from young professionals with iPhones to Aunty Flo and Grandma Freda! It needed to show our character (simple tastes but fun at heart) and also be informative for guests. The design fits with the celebration with the colour blue.
Any good planning tips and tricks: The Glövites are quite simply an absolute GOD SEND!!! We are both young professionals with very little spare time – and the last thing I wanted to be doing with my very little spare time was cutting and sticking things to invites to send out in the snail-mail! Our guests have been really positive about the experience of our Glövites and Glösite and think the idea is really cool – but best of all, we love the fact that you can track and see who has opened the invite from their emails, and also see who has RSVPed. Plus you can ask tailored questions to suit your own needs.
Aw shucks guys…we’re so honored! One more thing we had to share was this super cool little widget from Jajah that Lindsay and Graham added to their ‘Contact Us’ page. It lets guests call you for free.Very clever.
