First, we are so excited! Did anyone see our interview with

Write
a Perfect Thank You Note
- Think KISS ~ which stands
for "Keep it Simple Silly." Only 2 to 4 lines are all
that's needed to write a thank you. A simple way to start:
"Thank you so much for thinking of us."
- Have all your "Ducks in a Row." Have
your thank you cards, stamps, gift list (who gave what), and addresses
on hand. If you have everything you need in front of you on the
desk , there is a much better chance that : A. You
will spend the time to write your thank you's (and get the job
done,) and B. You won't become frustrated by stopping and
starting.
- Note that etiquette says you have up to 6 months to
get your thank you notes out. However, "Better late than
never," applies to thanking your guests for the gifts you received.
- Mention the gift by name. Write a simple
sentence such as, "The blender is just what we
needed." If the gift was money, don't mention the
amount. A simple, "Thank you so much for the gift, it will be
put to good use.", is much better.
- A verbal thank you is not correct etiquette when
thanking your guests for their gifts. Although it does convey your
"thanks," a written note makes a much better impression.
- Remember that the most personal thing about a thank
you note is that it is a "personal and sincere," thank you.
- Last but not least, your guests do expect a thank
you. It is proper and expected. Believe me, when I tell you
that people do wait for your note, for many reasons. The first, it
is recognition that you know what gift they gave you; they do want to
know if you like it, and lastly, everyone wants to be appreciated.
Think about it, your guests put thought into what they bought you; took
the time to purchase it and the time to wrap it. So, what could be
more heartfelt and gracious than to write a simple, "Thank
you."
Photo
Stamps
I have actually been standing in line at the post office and seen
invitations go out with photo stamps on them. They are actually
quite intriquing and for lack of a better work, "Neat."
So, if you want to make your invitations more personalized, I
would suggest sending them off with photo stamps. Two options are
listed below:
THINK PINK
OCTOBER IS BREAST CANCER
RECOGNITION MONTH
Your
Computer, Your Personal Assistant
- Use the Calendar Program on your computer to help you
keep focused and on track. If you don't have a program, visit
Bravenet.com and use their "Free" calendar program.
Another option, sign up for a "To Do List," via TadaList.com
(www. TadaList.com). Here you can create a virtual list of your
chores (and the grooms : ) ) The list can b e prive or
shared.
- Avoid the long lines at the post office. Print
your postage onine at USPS.Gov (www.USPS.gov)
- Need a copy of your Birth Certificate? Visit
VitalCheck.com (www.VitalCheck.com) to obtain one. Select your
state and the document you need. This site will order it in
seconds.

Tea
Time Wedding Favor . . .
Let your wedding guests know your "Love has Blossomed" as they marvel at the sight and pleasant aroma of this unique flower tea favor. Just drop the jasmine tea bud into hot water and watch it bloom right before your eyes, revealing a beautiful flower inside each bud. Each flower tea is composed of fresh and natural dried flowers and a blend of jasmine and green tea leaves. Each flower tea also comes in your choice of three beautiful handmade silk pouches. Choose from Jasmine & Lily (gold silk bag), Globe Amaranth & Chrysanthemum (white silk bag), or Rose (red silk bag), each fills the air with jasmine. Add an artistic touch of elegance and awe to your wedding by using it as a centerpiece.

Now for some fun . . .
Is this not the coolest greeting card? : )
Emitations has put it out. This would be a great pick-me-upper for the boyfriend,
groom, husband (or better yet) if you want to get someone's attention - send it annonymously and hope they guess it's you.
It is sure to bring a smile . . . P.S. It's printed with red glitter.
Put it in his lunchbox (if people still take their lunch,) on the front
seat of his car or even lay it on his pillow!
And
for more fun . . .
Halloween is just around the corner. Whether you
are having a Halloween themed wedding, shower or just a plain old
fashioned Halloween party, I found the perfect place for you to find a
costume (Oriental Trading offers $2.95 Shipping on orders of $60 or more
). These costumes were just so flat out original
... had to pass them on to you!
Here's a sampling of what they have to offer, and
believe me, the prices are right!
Just click on this link: Oriental Trading offers $2.95 Shipping on orders of $60 or moreand
you can either put in the Item Number (in the search box) that I listed
above, or you can just put in a general search for costumes. They
also sell bulk wrapped candy (i.e., packs of candy corn, bubble gum
eyeballs), decorations and more. Also check out their wedding
supplies! You won't be sorry.
