Sooo, We're Engaged…Now What?!

So you're engaged? Amazing! Congratulations! How exciting! When are you going to get married? What kind of wedding do you want? All the questions that you will be bombarded with when you announce your engagement to friends and family. The problem? You don't have a clue on what you want, what to do and where to begin. People don't realize how many details, big and small, that are included when planning a wedding. There's a certain wedding time line that must be followed along with a million other questions that must be considered and answered. So here's is a little helpful post on where to begin to get you started. From here, you'll be able to plan the wedding of your dreams.

Beautiful Wedding Bands
A Grand Announcement:The first thing step is easy. Announce it. You want all your friends and family to know your big news, so tell them. Tell them about your funny, unique, romantic or traditional marriage proposal. Of course, you'll be slammed with those same questions, but simply reply, "We haven't discussed any of the details yet". That simple. Share this extremely joyous time with your close friends and family. Enjoy it!

Just Imagine: Start with planning out how you want your wedding day. Your wedding day theme and style should be based on you. Have you always imagined a pink and green wedding? Well, that should be it. Your wedding style should be based on yours and the groom. So, research, research and do more researching.

Budget, Budget, Budget: Before you can do anything, you must sit down and discuss your wedding budget. Otherwise, you could be overspending or underspending for your wedding. Discuss who will pay for it. Will it be you, your parents, him or his parents? Will you split the costs up between each other? Whatever you decide on, you must do that first. Then you can start planning all the little wedding details based around your wedding budget.

Location: Next item to check off your agenda, location. Find a site within your budget and that sets the style of your wedding. Your location can range to a destination wedding to a traditional church that you grew up in. Choose one that best fits your style. Once you find one, book it! Wedding locations can be booked pretty quick. So grab your site and your reception location while you can, just to ensure that you have it.

Wedding Ceremony

Everything In Between: Next, all the little wedding details you must not look over. Caterers, bakery, wedding photographer, wedding videographer, musical entertainment, wedding dress, florist, stationary, wedding rentals, wedding decorations and then some will be exactly what you need on your wedding day.

Go to tastings, visit different stores, look at different pictures and anything that will help you decide on which wedding vendor you want to use.You must trust these vendors to handle all your wedding day needs and absolutely LOVE what you have picked out. It is your wedding day and you DO NOT want to be disappointed.

Don't forget to ask these vendors for references, review their contracts, ask them questions and see if they fit within your budget. Your wedding vendors will be responsible for making all your wedding dreams come true, so putting your trust within them is a must.

The Big Day: Now, it's time to relax and enjoy. You've spent all your time and energy planning your dream wedding. So don't stress anymore. Enjoy it!

Christmas Traditions You Can't Miss Out On

The holiday is just days away, so we thought it would be nice to be reminded of the holiday traditions. With so many traditions, old and new, there may be one out there that your family may want to begin. Traditions are great ways to share the special season with your family. It brings you closer together and is something that you and your family can look forward to each year. So go ahead and start a new holiday tradition to get into the holiday spirit!

Gift Giving Traditions: Along with the holiday season comes the gift giving tradition. This varies among different cultures and even different families. Some open all their presents on December 25th, spread them out over the 12 days of Christmas or some open one gift on Christmas Eve and the rest on Christmas Day.

Spreading the cheer and keeping the holiday spirit alive over 12 days seems exciting.However, some kiddos might not see this too exciting with the last day ending on January 6th. Everyone does it somewhat different. So choose a tradition that's best for your family.

Christmas Tree

Feast For All: With the holiday season, a big feast is prepared. Again, everyone does it differently. Americans normally prepare a big feast on Christmas day to share with their close loved ones. In France, they can't wait. After midnight mass, they serve their feast right then.

Food varies among cultures and traditions too. In Latin America, they feast on rice, peas and roasted pork. Japan marks Christmas by a special dessert, which is like fruit cake. Whatever your tradition may be, it's filled with delicious holiday treats for the family!

Mistletoe:Do we think of kissing underneath the mistletoe? Of course we do! However, it is said that people hung green in their house to represent the upcoming Spring weather and fertility. If you believe fertility, you may or may not want to hang this in your home.

Stocking By The Fire: Do the members in your family all have a stocking hung nicely by the fireplace. Possibly on the tree, on the wall or in a random place in your home because not everyone has a fireplace. However, they're there. Where does this originate from? Of course, it's featured in the book "Twas The Night Before Christmas" that we remember it from.

It is said that good ole' Saint Nicholas dropped gold coins down the fireplace and the stockings caught them. You may take on this tradition and put money in your family's stockings or fill them with treats and goodies. Christmas stockings are such a fun touch to the holiday season.

These are just some of the holiday traditions that are more popular. However, there are tons and tons of ideas out there for you and your family to try. Make Christmas breakfast, read a holiday story each year, take turns opening gifts so people can watch, fill up a box of presents and take it to the needy, buy a new family ornament each year, put just a few presents underneath the tree and when the kiddos go to sleep, fill it up with the ones from Santa or go caroling each year. There are so many traditions out there, just choose the one that your family enjoys the most. The greatest tradition of all is spending it with your family and loved ones.

A Fabulous New Year's Eve Party On A Budget

When we think of New Years, we think of lavish parties all decked out in our most fabulous dresses. Then the price comes to mind. However, it doesn't have to be that way! Don't let your mind trick you into thinking that the word budget means a cozy night in on the couch watching the ball drop. That sounds so cozy, but if you're looking for a lavish New Year's Eve party on a budget; it can be done. With these helpful party tips, you and your guests will have an absolute fabulous time on New Years.

An Amazing Budget Setting

First, pick your theme color. Then go from there. It'll help you be organized in the search for other great party decorations. Another tip you might find useful, pick a flower that's in season. Buy stems from your local florist and use those as decorations. Nothing extravagant, the bud of the flower in a small vase. So simple, yet extremely elegant. Plus, doing something simple cuts down on the cost of having an extravagant centerpiece.

Party Centerpieces

Are you in need of plates, tables and linens?  Important phrase to remember, use what you have! You have tables or even those fold out tables will work to set your appetizers and drinks on. Just cover it with an elegant table linen accompanied with beautiful table accents. You probably have serving pieces or you could borrow some, so use those. Just make sure it's within your color scheme. What about plates and drinkware? You could always go the disposable route, however, why not rent from your local party rental store. This just makes it easier and will save you many trips. However, you may want to divide your budget accordingly if you decide to rent.

Now you need party decorations. Again, use what you have. Candle holders, candelabras, baskets, vases, Christmas ornaments, candles and plants will offer wonderful party accents. Candles always make for an elegant setting so use lots of those. Fill vases with beautiful Christmas ornaments, which serves as a great table centerpiece. The main key for your party decorations is to use what you have around the house. Re-purpose items or get crafty. Use glitter to accent your party or feathers.

Don't forget about the music and lighting. Just by dimming the lights you'll be able to create an elegant setting. Plus, burn a cd of today's hottest hits and oldies. Something that everyone will enjoy dancing the night away to.

Melt In Your Mouth Delicious Party Food

Since you've saved on your party decorations, you can divide more of your budget to the food. However, you may not have to if you've mastered the art of appetizers. Bruschetta, vegetable crudites, cheese and crackers and meatballs are extremely easy, yet elegant. Plus, even though these are basic foods, you can always dress them up in unique ways.

Use unique cheeses or different sauces that no one has ever tried before. You could always ask your close friends to bring something over too. If you're providing the site and all the decorations, they'd surely be glad to help out with the food. This gives everyone the chance to try something different and add to their recipe books.

Appetizing Party Food

Skip out on serving a variety of desserts. At midnight serve a cute little doughnut or chocolate truffle to satisfy their sweet tooth. Therefore, you aren't buying a tone of items at the store and you will have more time to mingle at your party. Just a simple and unique idea on serving desserts.

Another option? Have it catered! Find a local party caterer that can give you tips on what appetizers to serve. They'll have lots of ideas that you've never tried before. This doesn't always have to be expensive, just get a few appetizers. Your guests will be plenty satisfied with the delicious food they are offered.

One of the most important things on this night has to be the drinks. Again, stay within your budget my having a byob (bring your own beer/alcohol) or create a signature drink for the night. Just buy in bulk, saves you from having to run around and buy a variety of items and making sure you have enough of each thing. Give your signature drink a unique name. A unique touch to your party.

Another tip, buy in advance. If you know you're planning on throwing a party in advance, go ahead and stock up. Buying a little at a time is easier than buying all your needs in one trip.  However, if you really want to stay easy, stick to wine or just beer. However, the signature drink idea sounds so cute!

These party tips will help you stay within your budget. Ignore the meaning of that word when it comes to mind, which might be a boring party. You know what? You can throw an absolute fabulous New Year's Eve party on a budget. You and your guests will have an amazing time and create a memory that will last a lifetime.
