Memorable Menus for your Wedding
Saturday, May 30th, 2009When I suggest serving a memorable meal at your wedding I am not talking about breaking the bank in top of the line steaks and hosting nine courses. I love when couples serve meals that have history along with them. An example of a Memorable Meal – Bubbly Bride style would be: thinking back to when you first met and went on your first date, or the delicious food you ate the night you got engaged!
I remember 6 years ago my first date with my husband was spent at a local Chinese restaurant in the area. Although Chinese food might not be a typical meal served at a wedding, it will mean so much more once you let your guests know why they are eating that certain meal. I would offer egg drop soup, fried rice and a yummy chicken dish!
Maybe you were engaged after a laid back evening in your apartment with simply ordering pizza and a movie. A way to tie this meal into your wedding, is offering midnight snacks of your special pizza. I suggest you or your groom take a minute to tell a short story about your experience why this meal is personalized for your friends and family. Your guests will be able to tell that you put thought into the event and will be grateful that you shared a part of your life with them!

Simplified Seating at your Wedding
Thursday, May 28th, 2009Imagine with me:
You are one of the first to arrive at a friend’s wedding. The usher offers his arm to you and asks you: bride or groom side…You kindly say you are with the bride and he walks you to the fifth row!
Do you slide down to the end of the aisle for the next guests, or do you kindly let new guests climb over you and move to the end of the aisle, so you are guaranteed the best seat in the house. That is what I thought…I don’t blame you, you deserve to get one of the best seats…you were the first to arrive!
An easy way to solve the seating dilemma when it comes to your guests arrival is to rope off the center aisle with fashionable ribbons or have your florist add an arrangement. With the middle aisle blocked the ushers will simply seat each guest from the outside, and the first to arrive will move towards the center of the aisle and receive the best seats!
Did you seat your guests from the outside? Let us know how it worked out?

DIY :: 911 Kit
Wednesday, May 27th, 2009You spend a year planning each detail down to the color of your nail polish when you get your manicure before the big day. No matter how many lists you make, you will always have factors of your big day that you can not control. If you hire a wedding planner to help coordinate the big day, 9 times out of 10 they will come prepared with a 911 kit filled with solutions to most any last minute mishap!
If you are planning on creating your own 911 kit I suggest taking a look into ordering Mojuba for yourself and your groom. Thinking of every event that could go wrong at your own wedding will only stress you out and overload you with worries and “what ifs”, Mojuba: love, life and the unexpected has put together an all-in-one saving grace on your wedding day.
The Bride Mojuba is a darling purse that expands with all of the essentials you could imagine! Tissues, fashion tape and cushions for your dancing feet are only a few of the many items in your Mojuba that will make you feel pampered and prepared for your day! Use the camera to document the memories that happen when the photographer may not be looking!

The Groom Mojuba shares the same essentials as the Bride Mojuba but 100% geared towards men. The shaving kit, deodorant and mints will help you look your best, but the poker sized Mojuba playing cards will guarantee you are ready for the long day ahead of you! (Don’t worry guys you will even find medication for your nervous stomach before you walk down the aisle!)
These are easy all-in-one packs that will ensure a stress-free wedding planning process! Not only are they full of must-haves on your big day, but they are delivered in two very stylish bags! Consider these both great gifts for the bride and groom at a bridal shower or engagement gift to help reassure every unplanned event is taken care of!
