How-To: Create Slideshows and Movies For Your Reception
If you haven't noticed, it's wedding season here on the Sugar Network and I've been busy telling you how to keep up with your own wedding website, pick out the perfect photographer, and manage all those photos — yours and your guests — after the big day. This week, we're moving into the wedding planning stages, and today I'm talking about slideshows. But this isn't the after-the-event, it-was-such-a-beautiful-day slideshow, this is the slideshow you play during your reception, usually packed with photos of you and your betrothed throughout your relationship together.
Wedding Tip: Have Your Guests Upload Photos to One Place
I used to think that having disposable cameras at each table at a wedding reception was such a fabulously brilliant idea.
But now the quality of the disposable film cameras is too shoddy for any possible framers, plus the kind of people who are going to take photos will have already brought their own cameras. To further drive a stake in the heart of this old trend, last year the majority of you voted that you no longer loved it.
Geek Tip: Rent a Photo Booth For Your Wedding Reception!
Sure, this trend might be picking up at weddings and parties in general, but trends are usually hot for a reason: Skip the disposable cameras and capture candids with a rented photo booth! Guests will have another great activity for the reception, you'll have even more awesome photos for your album, and face this reality: Everyone loves a photo booth!
Photobooth.net helps you find and reserve a photo booth around the country (and has a great piece of advice: Traditional photo booths need a venue on the ground floor due to their weight).
How to Make Photo Seed Packet Wedding Favors With Your Printer
Not that it should be thought of as a trend, but it's clear that this is the year that people are finally paying attention to how they can green their weddings and cut down on the event's impact on the environment. And if it is a trend, let's hope that it stays "in" forever!
So today's wedding geek tip succeeds in being green, geeky, and creative: seed packets with you and your fiancé's face on them!
Tom and Katie Celebrate Three Years of Marriage!

Ernarae's Blinged-Out Homemade iPhone Case
Check out this blinged-out iPhone case that reader ernarae created:
It took me three hours to make this, with a mix of Swarovski crystals and rhinestones. It was worth the wait, I had to wait overnight before I could put it on my iPhone.

Josh and Katie Keep Their Romance Casual
The cast of The Romantics was back to work yesterday as filming continued on the Long Island set. Suri wasn't around to keep the cast entertained with her high heels or limbo skills, but everyone looked casual compared to the big wedding scene they filmed earlier this week. While Katie and Josh keep it rolling on the set, their significant others have been keeping busy with their own projects.
Suri and Her Bear Play a Little Cautionary Limbo
Suri Cruise played a solo game of limbo under some caution tape on the set of The Romantics on Long Island yesterday. This week her parents Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes celebrated their third wedding anniversary, which meant a look back at some of Suri and the family's sweetest photos. Now Tom is off in Austria to continue work on Knight and Day, while Suri is sticking around stateside to keep mom company.
Whoa, Talk About Cell Phone Bling!
I'm all for a little glitz and glam, but I think that this Rhinestones For My iPhone case ($20) might take the cake for most blinged-out iPhone case I've seen. Honestly, it's a little too adorned for my taste, but there's at least one upside: finding your phone in a jam-packed purse just got a little easier.

Casa Quickie: Displaying Treasured Photos at Your Reception
If you're looking for a more organic way to display photos at your wedding reception then steal this idea, which I found in wedding photographer Elizabeth Messina's portfolio. Just wrap a tree snugly with twine and clothespin photos to it. It would even look cuter with some custom clothespins.
