Give me just a little more time!

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

Lie. You heard it here first. Lie to everyone, lie like a dog in the road, but just a little. Tell everyone who has to do ANYTHING wedding related that they need to be in place by a half an hour before  before you want them there.  Fifteen minutes won’t do; everyone knows that trick!  This isn’t actually as mean as you think; when they get there and realize that they have some breathing room, they’ll be thankful, you’ll be less stressed out, and your day can progress with a good start.

If you have a site that is logistically challenging; (a long walk from the parking lot, valets, complicated directions, you might want to include those details on your direction cards for the ceremony;

“The ceremony site is a brisk walk from your arrival point, so please allow time for a pleasant little hike through the scenery before we settle in for the wedding.” 

“The last bit of the journey is a little confusing, so look for the tree shaped like a bear. Only kidding; our cell phones will be on, so please call Bride’s maid or banquet manager at 999-999-9999 or 777-777-7777.”

Oh, and don’t let them see this post or they’ll catch on…….

Go Nuts!

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

Boy, are you going to have fun looking through the Oh Nuts! website!  Whether you’re  looking for some color coordinated rock candy wands for your coffee or cocktail service, delicious bites for your favors, or a stunning array of fun candy for a dessert bar, this is the place to go! They stock over 2000 kinds of candy and nuts, you can shop by color (how cool is that!) . I particularly love the gummy lips, chocolate covered sesame seeds in a rainbow of colors, and the very stylish rock sugar (which comes in a mulitude of shades).  They have about 30 kinds of white candy alone!

A trip to their website is sure to inspire you, and at the very least, make you hungry!

Face it!

Of course you want to look the best you can on your wedding day, and any other day too!  And every beautifully embellished face starts with a good foundation. I’ve just found my favorite; Covergirl and Olay “Simply Ageless”. You know the one; you’ve seen the ads with fabulous Ellen De Generes. This stuff is great!  It has a swirl of moisturizer shot through it; it goes on like a dream, feels and smells great, and looks natural in every light.  It even has sun protection and it doesn’t cost a fortune. There is simply nothing bad about it!
