thanks Jenni, it helps alot. we have decided to stay with red and white. and like you suggested, it will be a different shade. and about the site.. problems coming up later have crossed my mind. at first i was thinking, just sign the contract, and i wont have to deal with him till its time, and even then he wont be there for the actual reception. so i thought it would not be so bad.. but then it hit me, that what if, for some reason he trys to say we owe more or afterwards, stayed past our time and charged us alot more. cuz i think he has it in him to be a **** like that.
