Announcements That Really Stick

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

Instead of your typical save-the-date or baby announcement card, try doing a magnet! For your engagement, it’s especially nice for when family and friends may not have met your fiancee. For the new addition to your family, your loved ones will love to show off the magnet instead of the typical emailed announcement. There are tons of online vendors who can help you create this easy and affordable option to traditional cards, we like Magnet Street and Magnet Queen.

Jamming Wedding Shower

Monday, July 14th, 2008

For the Martha Stewart brides out there…try making your wedding shower a jam-making party! Rent a large kitchen (or use a friend’s) and have people be in charge of different stations: cutting the fruit, cooking on the stove, filling and decorating jars. These homemade goodies can be used as the favors during your big day and your friends and family will have a great time getting to know each other throughout the process! Prefer pickling or salsa-making? The can’s the limit!

Shower Me with Ice Cream

Saturday, June 21st, 2008

A fresh, new idea for a Baby Shower: A Sundae Party! When it comes to baby showers, the activity choices are limited. But try something a little different by throwing a Sundae Party! Create a buffet of sundae makings: hot fudge, nuts, sprinkles, strawberries and a few flavors of ice cream. If you’d like to go more upscale then hire a few white-gloved servers and have different sundae stations. It’s a great way to indulge those baby cravings and create a social atmosphere at your shower!
