WEDnesday Love: "Do Not Disturb"

Your wedding guests are traveling from near and far to be with you on your special day. Show your gratitude with a gift bag upon their arrival at their hotel. The gifts don't have to be pricey, but thoughtful and unique. 

In addition to local activities, food, personal hygiene items and information pertaining to the wedding weekend; I've found that guests appreciate DO NOT DISTURB SIGNS! 

Imagine the delight of your guests after partying all night at your reception to have these hanging on their doors WITH a late checkout! 

This is also a great sign for the newlyweds door -Enjoy

WEDnesday Love: Wedding Deals!

Planning a wedding or event of any size can become expensive and we all know dealing with the big B (budget) can add undue stress and suck most of the fun out of the planning process.  As a professional planner, I get joy out of finding deals and sharing them with my clients.

My friend and co-mom, Joyce, always finds terrific deals; so when I received this Groupon deal about weddings from she and my sister in law, I just had to share some of my favorite picks with my readers.

Many times wedding planning is geared towards the ladies; check out these that will also benefit the men in our lives ~ Enjoy!

Blue Nile Deal
Wedding jewelry is often passed down through a family due to its sentimental value and because only people who are related to each other have the same-sized necks and wrists. Start a new tradition with this Groupon.

Personalized Wine Labels
Personalized wine labels from PersonalWine.com. Choose from the following options:

• $24.99 for 24 labels ($60 list price)
• $37.99 for 48 labels ($120 list price)

Wine labels measure 3.4" x 3.4"

Gurkha Allure Vintage Cigar Sampler

Light up one of Gurkha’s quality cigars when relaxing with friends or pausing dramatically before delivering a one-liner to a defeated nemesis. Each sampler’s tobacco sticks range from mild to medium to full-bodied, and all arrive tucked safely inside an attractive suede roll holder.

Custom Engraved Cuff Links

Much like a well-tailored suit or a full-body tattoo resembling a well-tailored suit, a set of cuff links is the sign of a gentleman. These silver-plated shirt fasteners can be engraved with two initials, one for each cuff link, making them a thoughtful gift for a groom or groomsmen. The links are available in a round or square shape.

Calvin Klein Collection Ties

Known for his classic American aesthetic, designer Calvin Klein follows in his own footsteps with this collection of ties. Available in an array of colors and patterns, the ties are made in Italy from 100% silk.

On The Seventh Day of Christmas 2011

The months leading up to your wedding you and your hubby to be will spend quite a bit of money getting things in order for your special day...therefore, let's have a little fun! 

On the seventh day of Christmas my wedding planner gave to me..."A Wedding Registry"

This is that fun time when you can walk into your favorite stores and begin your wish list without worrying about your bank account.  More than china, flatware and glassware there are some non-traditional items you should consider.  For instance, some couples add luggage, furniture and event their honeymoon... it IS a wish list right? (ha)

A gift registry is a great guide for your guests, cuts down on receiving two irons and an ideal way to keep track of who gave what.  One rule of caution - do not overwhelm your guests by choosing a multitude of stores or a speciality shop that is only in your town. Stick to department or chain stores (from various price points) you love and leave it at that...

Lastly, If you’re really dont want gifts, you can always ask guests to make a charitable donation in your name to a favorite cause. Consider registering for gift certificates, or ask your parents and bridal party to spread the word that you’d prefer cash. it’s important to register for at least a few gifts so that guests who want to give a traditional present have the option.

NOTE:  proper etiquette dictates that you should never include registry information on your wedding invitation or in your invitation suite. Rely on family members and your bridal party to spread the word.  It is acceptable to put your registry information on your wedding website...  It’s also inappropriate to request monetary gifts on your invite....Fun times ahead!

Simply Shay: "The Heat Is On"

Exclusively Weddings

Todays's blog post is dedicated to the heat!  I'm sure, like me, you've sat back and watched the many things that take place during a wedding ceremony.  How many of you have cringed at the site of the usher, wedding coordinator, cousin, photographer or anyone else with tissue in their purse (pocket) walking to the front of the church and passing either a box of kleenex down the attendants line or event worse.. handing it to the bride? 

Tissue sticks to your face (really I'm laughing) and paper towel is not only rough but just tacky.  Instead of using these, how about we focus on some nice hankerchiefs?  Here are a few tasteful suggestions for dabbing sweat and wiping tears for the couple and their entire wedding party.... they also make great gifts.
 

 Whether you decide on plain hankerchiefs or monogrammed; when you're standing at the front of the church and the heat is on, please dont use tissue :)

The Right Necktie for your Holiday Events and Gift Giving...

Website Review for Ties-Necktie.com

Christmas is less than 3 weeks away and should you still be looking for some gift ideas for the men in your family, then we found a perfect site for you. Ties-Necktie is a specialty store for formal mens fashion accessories such as neckties, bow ties, cufflinks, pocket squares, and silk scarves. What we liked most about this site is the large selection of trendy designs as well as the amazing price point. A handmade designer tie for example ranges from $14.95 to $49.90 – less than half of what you would spend at Saks Fifth, Bloomingdales, or any other high end retail store.

We also found a promotion code that will get you free shipping. Simply add the code: ShipFree during checkout and the standard 3-5 day shipping option will be free of charge. For all the last minute shoppers Ties-Necktie also offers a next day rush shipping for a flat rate of $19.20 – far less than what most other retailers charge for a similar service.

Finally we were impressed with the site’s resource section that will teach you anything from tying a tie to educating you on the latest trends and fads in men’s fashion.
