Article: According to custom, escort cards are tucked into miniature envelopes to be opened by the guests as they enter the reception area. If you decide to use envelopes, you'll write the guest's name on the face of the envelope and record their table number on the inside of the card itself. Envelopes are not only more formal, they also add an element of fun and surprise to the proceedings, since guests will have to open their cards to find out what table they've been assigned to. These days, many married couples prefer to keep things simple by using single-piece folding cards in lieu of stuffing each card into its own envelope. When using tent-style cards, display the guest's name on the outside of the card above their assigned table number, or list the table number separately on the card's interior. The major benefit of tent-style cards is that your guests will be able to pick them out and read them much faster, preventing a traffic jam at the entrance to the reception area. However, it also involves less work for you. To make it easier for your guests to pick out their cards, organize them from A-Z by last name on a large table in your reception area. Arrange them in neat rows, with the front of each card plainly visible. That way, they can simply scan each row until they find their card and be on their way. Someone with the last name "Adams," for instance, should be able to spot their card closer to the front of the table than a couple by the name of "Watanabe." If you have more than 1 married couple with the same last name, include the husband's first name so it's clear who you're referring to ("Mr. and Mrs. David Johnson," as distinct from "Mr. and Mrs. Steven Johnson"). If you intend to designate both the table and individual seat of each guest at your wedding reception, you'll need to create table and place cards as well. Double-check that the names and numbers on your escort cards correspond with those on the place and table cards to avoid confusing or misplacing your guests. Table cards are large placards used to identify each table in the reception area. They're typically numbered, but you could also assign your guests to tables named after your favorite flowers, songs, authors, or world wondersget creative! Place cards display the names of the guests at a particular table so that everyone knows who everyone else is. It will be necessary to print a separate place card with a unique seat number for each guest, rather than grouping them together the way you did on the escort cards.

Article: repare your subfloor. You will need your subfloor to be ready for laying down hardwood floors. This tutorial focuses on installing solid hardwoods, so you will want a wood subfloor if you want to follow the directions exactly. Other options are available, however. Don't forget to consider things like door jambs as well. You will need to be able to either get your floors underneath the molding or you will need to cut your floor to go around it. Before you install solid hardwood floors, you will need to let the wood acclimate to the moisture level of your home first. Leave the wood to sit in the room in which it will be installed for at least three days. Try to install the floor during either the Spring or Fall, when the temperature is neither very hot nor very cold. Temperature will also affect the wood. A larger number of tools and supplies will be necessary to complete this project. You can rent larger pieces, like flooring nailers, from your local hardware store. Other pieces, like nails, will need to be purchased. You can find the materials list for this project at the bottom of this page.

Article: You are entitled to any evidence that the prosecutor has that may prove your innocence. This is called "exculpatory" evidence. Your attorney can ask the prosecutor for this evidence or, more formally, file a motion with the court requesting it. Pay attention during the trial to any reference to exculpatory evidence. Sometimes prosecutors fail to turn over all helpful information to defendants. For example, a witness might blurt out that the alleged victim told her that you were not at fault on the day at issue. If this witness then subsequently spoke to the police, then you can assume that the witness told the police what the victim said. You should question the prosecutor whether this information came up during a police interview and why it wasn't disclosed to you. If the prosecutor withheld exculpatory evidence, then you need to bring that fact to the judge's attention. If you want witnesses to testify on your behalf at trial, then you will need to subpoena them. A subpoena commands a witness to attend the trial. It also informs the witness of the day, time, and location of the trial. Generally, you can get subpoenas from the court clerk and have them served on witnesses either using the sheriff or a private process server. If you represent yourself at trialwhich is not recommendedthen you will need to read up on your state's rules of evidence. These rules limit the kinds of evidence that can be used in trials. To find your state's rules, search the Internet. One rule to pay attention to in particular is the rule against "hearsay." Hearsay is any out-of-court statement used to prove the matter asserted. For example, if your son said, "My Dad beats me every week" and a cop repeats this claim in court, then it is hearsay to use that claim as proof that you do, in fact, beat your son every week. There are many exceptions to the rule against hearsay, so you can't get all hearsay statements excluded. Nevertheless, if you find hearsay statements offered in court, you need to stand up and object.
