Share Your Wisdom
This blog is dedicated to acquiring tips and tricks from REAL WOMEN that have become experts in making the events of their lives extraordinary. This wisdom will be shared in the event-planning book I am writing called "Your Life and Times."
You're an event planner and probably don't even realize it! Did you ever direct your high school play or organize a school dance; plan a baby shower for your college roommate; volunteer to host the 3rd grade class Valentine's Day party; have a birthday party for your kids; organize a fundraiser for a sick friend; plan a company golf outing; serve as a scout leader or a Sunday School teacher; host a block party for the neighborhood; plan your parent's 50th wedding anniversary? If so, your experiences and your voice is what will make this book useful, unique and best of all fun to read.
Time-savers, planning tips, favorite websites, funny stories, or how you averted disaster on a special day - anything goes! But please only post what you are willing to share with the world - it could end up in the book!

Memorable Bridal Showers
Have you ever thrown a bridal shower for a friend or family member? Tell us what you did to make it memorable.
I think it's important to include the person you are giving the shower for in the planning. Some people hate the silly games, other people expect them. The most recent shower I attended focused on good wine, GREAT food and conversation. It was simple, but elegant and fun. Another idea I've used is to have everyone write their best baby or marriage advice in a journal. It makes a nice keepsake and you have a record of who attended. You can even have the guests write their address at the end of the entry which makes doing the thank you's easy.
