A Few Of My Favorite Things...

Each season brings new and exciting ideas/items for those planning wedding celebrations. Just when you think you've seen it all, something new knocks you out of your comfort zone. But I just love new ideas for ways to make your wedding really special. And the way to do that is to find favors/gifts/touches that are wonderfully unpredictable!

These are a few of my favorite things...

Postcup™ by bailey doesn't bark
Such a cute idea for bridesmaid gifts. These white porcelain cups are decorated with “postcard” design, where your custom message and the recipient's address are painted on. What a perfect way to say "thank you" and make each of your bridesmaids feel appreciated.

Save The Date Cookies by The Flour Pot Cookies
Now this isn't your average save-the-date magnet. Each recipient will literally be in for a treat as each cookie is personalized with your wedding date and wrapped in a cello bag with a festive raffia tie.

Crystal Diamond Paperweight by Z Gallerie
These oversized crystal paperweights will shimmer brightly on any surface. They're presented in a square black box with black satin lining. Any bride-to-be would LOVE one.

Leather Wrap Traveler's Journal by Barnes & Noble
If you're doing a travel theme, this might be a good gift idea for you. Furthermore, this luxurious leather journal is the perfect gift for anyone who appreciates the finer things in life. What better way to keep track of all of adventures and discoveries?

Shout-Out Tees by The Names Brand
These t-shirts are pretty cool and can be personalized according to the recipient's favorite sports team, politicians, bands, movies, video games alter egos, etc. In this case, the pictured item would be perfect for my husband who's a die-hard Pittsburgh Steelers fan.

Aluminum Water Bottles by Beau-Coup
Give these as gifts to keep your wedding party healthy and hydrated on your big day - and every day.

Monthly Cocktail Subscriptions by Stirrings
Sign someone up for six months of stupendous cocktails! With this delicious and luxurious gift, you or your lucky recipient will receive a full-size, 32 oz Cocktail Mixer, complementary Rimmer® Garnish, and a recipe card each month, for 6 months.

An Old-Fashioned Treat by Ronnybrook Farm Dairy
A really cute and really thoughtful take-home favor...cookies and milk! It's a no brainer. And these glass bottles are very charming. Everyone will be impressed. Photo courtesy of Brides.com

scam (skām): A fraudulent business scheme

Y esterday, I received my first wedding scam attempt (guess my latest marketing and advertising efforts are starting to work). I received an email from an "Irish" bride-to-be whose fiance was offered a job in the U.S. and needed help planning a small wedding in New Jersey. I vaguely remembered hearing of certain swindle attempts on wedding vendors (especially photographers and videographers), so my radar peaked immediately, however, I didn't jump to any conclusions right away. I responded to the email, drew up a preliminary proposal, quoted cost of service and submitted an invoice for payment. Nonetheless, when it became apparent that the bride-to-be and her French fiance only intended on mailing a cashier's check, I knew right away what I was dealing with ... a scam! I happen to know that international cashier's checks are not fully validated for 90 days. So even though the check may clear at first, if found to be phony, the money is later deducted. I must say, i...

"Farm Sweet Farm" 1st Birthday Party

My husband and I celebrated our baby twins, Jonah & Gia's, 1st birthday with a "Farm Sweet Farm" party last weekend.  The party was held at our home (aka The Anderson Farm ) and our closest family and friends excitedly attended.  Honestly it's still difficult for us to believe a full year has gone by since they entered our lives, but one thing was clear from the beginning --- we had a lot to celebrate and we intended to do just that! Everyone had loads of fun; they would've partied until the cows came home if we let them.  And since the guests of honor LOVE animals, the theme proved to be absolutely perfect for them and their guests.  To most, I'm known for planning amazing weddings and bridal celebrations by means of THE BRIDAL PARTY , so it was really a lot of fun to step outside of my comfort zone and show off my versatility and range.  I can't deny, this was FUN!  I'm still quite "giddy" about it all. * * * * * * * * * * INVITA...
