Just read about your mulch party. Good info. I live above the San Pasqual Valley so cant get city mulch but am always interested in local sources. Love your writing. Heavy mulching last year saved my baby olive trees, so Im a BIG fan. (Faster than a fart on linoleum???? Where did THAT come from?!!! classic.)
A note about theme packages you can buy: Often you can find whole party decoration packages at places like Party City or Amazon. Sometimes these can be good deals, but often I find that just a few key pieces mixed with more basic solid-colored items are cheaper and look just as good.
This applies to both decorations and food. Make as much ahead of time as possible. Make foods you can freeze for a week or two and thaw out the night before. Cakes can be baked two days ahead and frosted the day before. If there are decorations or props you want that can be made ahead, do it. Take a Saturday before the party to focus on this, or split it up over a few evenings.
As you know, we hosted our first Kentucky Derby party over the weekend and I am happy to report that it was a BLAST! We were very fortunate to have a perfect spring day here in Atlanta and I was so happy that our friends embraced the event with their hats, southern attire and Mint Julep consumption. Of course, I was busy having fun and barely remembered to take pictures but I did manage to capture a few.
It was a fun afternoon and we have already decided we will be making this an annual event. I did remember to run around like a crazy person a few minutes before everyone arrived and snap some pics of the set up so I will be back tomorrow to share those.
A vision board helps you to clearly define the things you want to manifest into your future. Keep your vision board on display to be reminded of those things, keeping them present in your mind and developing energetic momentum toward those goals.
When I realized I was finally ready to lay sh*t out for future Melissa, I realized it would be much more fun to bring the collective energy of some other driven people ready to lay out their goals with me. Thus, the Vision Board Party of 2017 was born.
My kids love to dream 6 months in advance about their birthday party theme. NOT because we go overboard decorating every inch, shopping extravagantly, or hiring wild entertainment. Our planning usually includes recycled cardboard boxes, marker signs, home made cakes, and costumes they already own!
I wanted to find a way to incorporate people important to us but who lived too far away to come. So I emailed relatives and friends from high school and college and asked them to share a funny or memorable story about him. At the party I read them aloud and had him guess who the author was and add to the story (or defend himself!). It turned out to be a great mix of weird pranks and pivotal, spiritual conversations, which is a good summary of him.
I love all the questions you provided to make sure you are intentionally loving the guest of honor! For my husband, I typically write him a letter with a prayer for the year, cook a dinner that he requests, and then we have friends over to play board games (his favorite thing to do). This has given me several other ideas for when he turns 30 next year!
I have recently changed my mind about wanting a bridal party. I am lucky to have so many close friends that I adore but it's just getting to be too much to try to include them all. Even with an expanded bridal party, I can't avoid hurting feelings and it's just starting to get away from what this wedding is all about. The problem is, is I have already asked a few of the girls to be bridesmaids. They have not bought dresses or spent a cent in anyway on this wedding yet... would it be completely horrible to tell them we decided to keep it a little more simple for everyone (since we are having a small wedding anyway) and that we are actually not going to have a bridal party? I would of course reiterate that I love them dearly and invite them to get ready with me the day of if they would like to do so! Thanks guys for your advice and opinions!
I'd be a little hurt, but at the same time, relieved since I hate being in weddings to begin with This is why we didn't have a bridal party, why I recommend NOT having a bridal party, and why a lot of people recommend waiting until 6-8 months out to ask people if you do want a bridal party.
I'm also very lucky to have many good close friends, but I decided to only choose 7 bridesmaids including my fiance's sister. I think at this point my other friends know that they aren't in the bridal party but they have not expressed any hurt feelings about it. When you have good friends, having a bridal party is one of the best parts of wedding planning, I couldn't imagine my day without my bridal party
"If you're having a small wedding party (maid of honor and best man only), invite your girlfriends to be part of the ceremony without the formal "bridesmaid" title. "They could wear similar colors, process down the aisle, and sit in the first few rows," Nichols explains. Emily Butler of Karson Butler Events calls these "Friends of Honor." "You could send them down the aisle with a corsage or small nosegay, then have them sit instead of standing at the altar, and can dedicate time at the beginning of cocktail hour to grabbing formal photos together," Butler explains."
I think this may allow me to include the few girls that I wouldn't be able to in the bridal party and not "demote" the girls I have already asked. I think I could simply say my fiance and I decided to go with a nontraditional (or not as formal) approach and explain what I envision their roles being as "friends of honor" (readings, toasts, getting ready together, having them wear something special from me (corsage or whatever I decide), etc). I think this may be less stressful for my ladies financially, I still get to enjoy the special times with them, and no one's feelings are hurt (hopefully!!)
I think this should be fine. Maybe host a luncheon or something for them and tell them you wanted them all to be bridesmaids, but that friendship doesn't have to have a price. You love them without them buying a dress or any of that stuff.
If you decide at some point not to have a bridal party. Maybe invite the bridemaids you asked for lunch, explain your situation and give them a nice small gift as a token of your appreciation. If they are truly your friends and care about you they will understand.
I'm not having a bridal party at all. We are a older couple (both married once before) so it just didn't make sense for us. Since I'm planning the entire event I just want this to be as stress free as possible and the less people that are involved the more I can stay focused on what I need to get done. I'm doing something similar to the article you posted. I'm having my daughter-in-law, my husband's daughter-in-law and my son's aunt wear corsages but they will be seated.
The second strike? Players have to sit below the graph looking at it straight on. Each player who joined me that sat across from or above the grid had trouble visualizing where they should plot their GPS marker. That means that with more players, more of you will need to sit in roughly the same table position. Is that going to work with seven players?
In fact, the most shocking fact about Mind Map is that it comes from a party game distributor and publishers that I trust. Hachette Boardgames USA, the partner who distributes games from publishers such as Sorry We Are French and Funnyfox, has released word association party games such as Zero to 100, Ol Guacamole, and one of the best party deduction games ever made, Decrypto.

This is especially important if the party is somewhere other than your own home. It helps ensure that you bring everything you need with you. Think of the little things you may need ahead of time like scissors, ribbon, pens or markers, tape, push pins, safety pins, hot glue gun with extra sticks, etc.

Multi-party negotiations are challenging. If you want to picture an intense example, read about the Kigali multi-party negotiation which involved 170 countries and took 7 years to arrive at a deal that sought to stop a 1-degree Fahrenheit increase in global temperatures. Just like any other system, it becomes more complex and prone to failure as you add components to the system.
The best way to simplify the process of multi-party negotiations is by blending a classic negotiation technique called coalition building, with a classic mediation technique called shuttle diplomacy.
The Association of Diplomatic Studies & Training article Far from the Madding Crowd - From Leeds Castle and the Road to Camp David, revisited how the above-mentioned multilateral negotiations successfully concluded with the signing of Camp David Accords in September 1978. The reason it was successful was how the relationship was established between Egypt and Israeli leaders throughout the 5-year peace process.
In each of the shuttle diplomacy meetings, Kissinger made sure to brief his interlocutors on the views, personalities, and interests of each member of the other negotiating party were. So without having to meet, the negotiating parties began to know each other, which is very important in negotiations as it humanizes the process. It allowed a level of respect and understanding between them leading to the landmark deal.
