In Dutch, thank you is spelled dank je wel or dank u wel. They both literally translate to thank you yes. Dank je wel is pronounced 'dunk you vel' and is used to say thank you informally. Dank u wel is pronounced 'dunk you vel' and is used in formal occasions.
An alternative way to say thank you is bedankt, which is pronounced bah-donks. It is also considered an informal statement.
You're welcome or my pleasure in Dutch is spelled 'graag gedaan.' It is pronounced with soft g's, a bit like you are clearing your throat. So it comes off as 'Graa Guhdawn.'

How to Open an Online Bridal StoreIn Feburary 2016 05,

Outline a business plan. This will help you understand how much money you will need to launch, plan for expenses and anticipate growth. It also will be helpful should you seek a small business loan.
Decide if you will use your website to augment a brick-and-mortar store or be online-only.
Build inventory. A successful website cannot afford to list out-of-stock items. Most gown manufacturers require large minimum orders. Depending on the scope of your business and your financing, you may invest from a few hundred to tens of thousands. Secure clean and climate-controlled warehouse space to store your inventory. If you can arrange a month-to-month lease agreement, you may only need a few hundred or a few thousand dollars. You likely will need to put down a deposit.
Rent studio space to increase foot traffic. You may need space for holding dress dummies, constructing formal wear, assembling accessories or favors or any other bridal-related business needs. Rents vary nationwide depending on proximity to major cities, studio size and other factors.
Secure your domain name. Hosting often costs as little as $10 per year and can be purchased from websites such as GoDaddy that also can provide tools to build your website. Select a name that is relatively short but easy to remember and speaks to the nature of your business.
Open a PayPal account. This is free to start, with a small percentage removed from your transactions if you upgrade to a Premium membership. PayPal can be used as your method of checkout for your website, costs your customers no fees and is secure. Customers do not need a PayPal account to send payment and can use funds from their debit or credit cards to pay you.
For first-time webstore owners, PayPal causes the least headaches. As your business grows, you may decide to upgrade to your own checkout system.
Register your business with your state Division of Corporations. The fees associated with this will vary by state.
Consider financing your small business through the government's SBA 504 loan program, which offers competitive low-financing options.
Watch for bridal stores that are going out of business. They will be looking to liquidate, meaning you can save hundreds or thousands by purchasing from these events.
Advertise on bridal websites, wedding blogs, local newspapers and radio. A modest budget would be several hundred dollars, but costs of advertising on radio and in print vary greatly around the country.
If you are not computer savvy, take courses in website creation and management, or hire an IT person. This may cost as little as $40 for CD-rom-based lessons, or as much as a few thousand if you attend classes.
Promote your store. Announce sales on Facebook or Twitter. If your sell vintage or handmade items, consider maintaining an Etsy storefront, an online marketplace specializing in vintage items. Joining is free, and a small percentage of each sale is taken by the website as a fee for doing business through it.

How to Word a SelfIn Feburary 2016 01,
In Feburary 2016 01,
Begin the invitation with a request for your guests to attend the wedding. You can use traditional wording such as 'The honor of your presence is requested at the marriage of' or 'The pleasure of your company is requested at the wedding of.' If you want something more familiar and less traditional, use a phrase like 'Because you have shared in our lives, join us at the wedding of,' or 'Celebrate new beginnings and new love at the marriage of.'
Couples' Names
After a request line, write your names. Traditionally, the bride's name is listed first but either way is acceptable. It's formal to include middle names, but you can leave them out if you wish. There aren't specific etiquette rules for listing same-sex couples names, but you can list them alphabetically if you wish. You can use either 'and' or 'to' as the conjunction for the two names. For example, you could write 'Jane Doe and John Smith' or 'Jane Doe to John Smith.'
Date and Year
Your guests need to know when to show up for the event. Traditionally, the line after the couples' names includes the day of the week, the day of the month, and the month of the event. For example, if your wedding is happening on Saturday, April 2, you would write 'Saturday, the second of April' for the date. On the next line, write out the year of the wedding. For example, 2015 would be 'two thousand fifteen.'
Time and Location
On a new line, write the time the ceremony starts, noting the time of day. For example, if your wedding is at 4 p.m., write, 'at four o'clock in the afternoon.' Although you may include a directions card or map with the invitation, write the full address location on the line below the start time. Include the name of the venue, the street address, city, state and zip code. If you're hosting a reception after the ceremony, write 'reception to follow' or 'dinner and drinks to follow' depending on what you're hosting.
