Should You Send Save the Date Cards to Your Guests?

by: Sara Haese

You?ve probably heard about Save the Dates since they have become quite popular with brides but you might not know exactly what purpose they serve.

People?s lives are getting increasingly busier and more tightly scheduled so that?s where Save the Date announcements come in handy.
You want to make sure that your guests, especially family and close friends, keep the date of your wedding open when planning their schedules.
To ensure this, you?ll want to consider sending out Save the Date notices shortly after you have set your wedding date, especially if it?s several months in the future or around a holiday.

Proper etiquette doesn?t dictate that these advance notices have to be sent but in today?s world it helps your guests in their planning so they can be sure to be with you sharing in the celebration of one of the most important days of your life.
If you do decide to send them out, you are not required to send them to every one of your guests but you?ll probably want to at least include close family members and friends.
Guests who will have to travel to be in attendance will find them especially helpful for giving them plenty of travel preparation time particularly if you are having a destination wedding.

It?s easy to be creative when sending out your Save the Dates since there are so many different varieties and designs available.

? Magnets have become a favorite selection and why not since your guests can easily stick them onto their refrigerator as their reminder.
Some magnets have the option of including a photo and some actually show a calendar of your wedding date month with your date circled for easy reference.

? Scratch Off Cards are a fun, unique way of announcing your wedding date.
Your date will only be visible to guests after they have scratched off the appropriate area on the card similar to lottery tickets.
They come in great playful designs sure to make your guests smile.

? Announcement Cards can be as creative or as simple as you like.
They come in varying designs, colors and themes from whimsical to more traditional.
Some of them even come in creative shapes.

All designs are printed with your wedding date and names and some even give the option of including the wedding location. Blank white mailing envelopes are usually included in the price no matter which design you choose.
Be sure to list at the bottom of your Save the Date the added line, ?invitation to follow?, so guests won?t assume that this is the actual wedding invitation.
This is also why it?s imperative that everyone who receives your Save the Date will also receive your wedding invitation.

Wedding invitations play an important role in planning your wedding, and in today?s society, Save the Dates are becoming increasingly popular because of your guests? busy schedules.
You want to do everything you can to make sure family and friends will be able to share in the joy of your wedding day.

It's Time For a Celebration

by: Shirley Purdy

Did you know that a dog party celebration is a wonderful pick-me-up!

When women feel down and need a bit of pampering, we can retreat to our favorite spa and indulge in being thoroughly spoilt. Sometimes we go to the shops and spend money on totally unnecessary things... but it feels good! Maybe, even organise a party for a group of friends, with lots of our favorite food and drink.

Our pets, on the other hand, don?t get the opportunity to go off to the Spa and be spoilt, unfortunately! However, you can now spoil your four-legged, furry friend and organize a party for them, giving them the similar kind of tender loving care.

During the last few years, more and more pet owners are pampering their pets, by cooking special meals for them and giving them birthday gifts.

So, why not go one step further and organize a dog party celebration!

Don?t Be Like Forgetful Freddy, The Absent Minded Gift Buyer

by: Aron Wallad

Don?t be like Forgetful Freddy, The Absent Minded Gift Buyer

I have two short stories to tell you.

Last Christmas, Forgetful Freddy forgot to buy

Christmas gifts for one of his sons, his aunt and

his grandmother. Sitting around the Christmas

Tree with his entire family on December 25th was

a somber experience for Freddy.

In 2004 Forgetful Freddy?s memory was also not

working too well. He did not remember his

daughter?s birthday and his own anniversary.

He still feels embarrassed at family functions.

We all want to take care of those that are near

and dear to us. But as humans we sometimes

miss the mall. The joy of gift giving allows us

to show our gratitude for those in our lives we care

about and love. I know what it feels like to not receive

a gift when I was expecting something from a special...

Furniture to Dress Up Your Office

Sitting in an office all day long can get monotonous. Break through the daily rut by dressing up your office with some cool office furniture. Unless you operate your own office, you may not have total control over your office furniture. Most employers, however, won?t mind if you bring in a piece or two of your own furniture to make the space more comfortable and personable.

If you are bored with your current...

Finding A Florist When You Need One

by: Muzrak Maksidov

It's not always easy to find the right florist. Florist retail shopping

can be so time consuming and florist retail prices vary so much from

shop to shop, season to season, it's hard to know if you're getting the

best flower selection and the best price. Don't you wish there was an

What Is An MSG Allergy?

by: Grant Segall RPh

What are Chow Mein, Orange Sesame Chicken, Moo Goo Gai Pan, Sweet and Sour Pork, and Beef and Broccoli? They are all savory Chinese foods that we love.
