Wedding Day Hopes, Dreams...and PRIZES

Today brings two rather philosophical announcements:

The Knot has joined forces with lifestyle and beauty brand philosophy on an exciting new partnership: “tying The Knot,” which is a just-for-brides gift set created to pamper the bride-to-be so she looks as beautiful as she feels on her special day. It's available for purchase on TheKnot.com and philosophy.com, and includes nine essential bridal beauty products including purity one-step facial cleanser, amazing grace firming body emulsion items, kiss me exfoliating lip scrub, hope in a jar moisturizer, microdelivery peel pads, kiss me clear lip balm and eye hope deluxe samples.
Also, to help announce the product launch, The Knot and philosophy have also launched the Wedding Day Hope Sweepstakes! This interactive sitelet invites brides to share their hopes and dreams for their big day. These personal and authentic messages will be posted anonymously on the site’s user-generated bulletin board for everyone to see. The notes offer an outlet for brides to share their inner thoughts and feelings which every bride can relate to. Brides who share their hopes are automatically entered to win the grand prize of a luxury honeymoon worth over $10,000, courtesy of Viceroy Anguilla Resort & Residences. Other prizes include a wedding day makeover for one lucky bride and her bridesmaids, courtesy of philosophy beauty expert and makeup artist John Trau, as well as “tying The Knot” gift sets.

Have fun brides! You deserve to be pampered.

P.S. Don't forget ... philosophy also offers a quaint gift set that dons our company name, The Bridal Party Collection, which includes a trio of shower gels (named "Wedding Cake," "Bridal Bouquet," and "Bubbly"), also an ideal bridal shower gift and/or wonderful gift for bridesmaids. We LOVE philosophy and we LOVE The Knot!

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
