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!

USING PROMOTIONAL PRODUCTS AS WEDDING FAVORS



We have all been handed a promotional pen or coffee mug with a company logo imprinted on them from time to time.  The companies that create these items have an enormous variety of products that you can turn into a table favor or gift for your wedding party. By adding your custom artwork (a photo of the bride and groom or your names intertwined with the wedding date for example) for a one-time set up charge, you can turn an ordinary item into a keepsake that people can really use:

For a beach wedding, tuck a bottle of sunscreen, some sunglasses, and a rolled-up beach towel into a sand bucket:



For your bridal party, provide an tote bag with a sewing kit, compact mirror, travel size toiletries, etc:




For a table favor, colorful bags of mints are a nice choice:



The possibilities are endless!  I have personally used 4imprint.com to purchase many promotional items in the past and their quality and service are first-class.  They will provide free samples of most of their items if you want to inspect an item for color, size, and quality before ordering in bulk.
