A party for Fido?

by

While most people have heard of throwing over-the-top parties for children, the idea of throwing a birthday party for pets is gaining popularity.

According to the Mother Nature Network, many dog owners are marking their pets' birthdays with celebrations that include all the fixings of a regular party including decorations, party hats, cake and a guest list (including both human and animal friends).

The website reports that some businesses are even popping up in response to the trend. In Washington state, pet-friendly restaurant The Dining Dog Café regularly hosts birthday parties for dogs, their owners and friends.

Business owner Dorothy Moore has even launched a canine party planning service. Last year, she organized about 100 dog parties that ranged in price from $100 to $500 each, including high-end soirees, during which owners rent limos for their dogs and guests.

While other dogs and their owners will surely grace the guest list for any canine party, making sure there are appropriate party favors for everyone is important.

Candy bars with personalized candy wrappers or personalized lollipops are ideal for human guests, but not for animals.

Instead, owners may consider ordering personalized stickers to put on small bags of doggie treats or biscuits.
 

Wedding favor trends revealed

Wedding planning experts say wine and bubbles are out … and personalized, edible wedding favors are in this season.

The couple's favorite candy bars can be wrapped in personalized candy wrappers as a fun and delicious treat for guests.

In addition to the large variety of pre-made designs and colors that are available, these personalized gifts can be printed with the couple's monogram or their picture for a unique favor.

Many couples choose a candy wrapper to complement their table décor, and place one at each place setting for their guests.

According to FavorIdeas.com, offerings for guests can be set up and displayed on a table with a small sign that says "Please take one" or "Thank you." However, some couples opt instead to have a waiter or other staff person distribute the products at a designated time during the party, or present the items themselves as guests are leaving the reception.

From sophisticated and classic to whimsical and fun, these personalized candy wrappers are sure to be a hit among all of the guests at your event!
 

Personalized favors make reunions memorable

by

Whether you're planning a family or another type of reunion, experts say be prepared to work hard!

According to ReunionMojo.com, the ideal amount of time needed to orchestrate a successful reunion is 12 months.

The first step in planning these get-togethers is to form a committee of classmates or family members to do the grunt work involved. Tasks include choosing the date, location, venue and lodging, as well as locating long-lost friends or relatives, making a budget, creating a reunion website, choosing caterers, booking photographers, decorating the venues and organizing activities.

Utilizing an online schedule as well as holding monthly over the phone or in person will help keep the plans on track.

While activities are important to a successful reunion, it's important to remember that bringing these individuals together is the best way to ensure a great event.

Special touches such as candy bars with personalized candy wrappers and personalized water bottle labels will give your reunion a professional feel without hiring an expert.

These items and other personalized gifts can be placed at each place setting or displayed on a table or in a basket as take-home party favors.
 

Welcome bags make wedding guests feel special

by

According to KGO-TV, about 20 percent of all weddings are now destination weddings.

These celebrations can take place in any type of locale including beaches, out-of-town cities, foreign countries and other tourist destinations.

Experts say the economy may be the driving force behind the popularity of these celebrations.

"With the current economic situation, destination weddings have become the affordable option to have an extraordinary wedding without breaking the bank," said RomanceTravelConcierge.com's Melissa Tindage.

The reason why these sometimes elaborate weddings can be cheaper often comes down to numbers. Since fewer people will travel to go to a wedding, hosts save money on food, alcohol and other costs.

Regardless of where your destination wedding is held, expert planners say that a welcome bag or basket is a great way to make guests feel special when they arrive.

These can be assembled in advance and left with the front desk or concierge of the hotel to deliver to each guest's room.

According to TheKnot.com, essential items to include in these welcome bags include a detailed schedule, a local map, snacks, essentials specific to the location (i.e. sunscreen for a beach wedding) and bottled water.

Adding personal touches such as custom wedding water bottle labels or personalized wedding candy bars in the welcome bags can help build excitement and make guests feel included in your celebration.
 

Reese Witherspoon is shopping for wedding dresses

by

Oscar-winning actress Reese Witherspoon may soon be anxious to send out some save the date cards!

The 34-year old star got engaged to her boyfriend of about a year, Jim Toth, 40, last month.

"Reese quickly realized that Jim was someone that she felt safe with and could count on," a source recently told People magazine.

Now, the publication reports that Witherspoon is eager to start her new life with Toth and is already hard at work planning the wedding.

Various news outlets report that she recently travelled to Paris with a few girlfriends to shop for dresses.

While there's no news on which designer will be tapped to create her wedding gown, People reports she visited the showrooms of luxury labels including Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Lanvin and Giambattista Valli.

The marriage will be the first for Toth and the second for Witherspoon, who is divorced from actor Ryan Phillipe.

She has two children from her previous marriage – Ava is 11 and Deacon is 7.

Whether or not Witherspoon and Toth will have children is another mystery.

"I would love to have more kids," she recently told Glamour magazine. "Kids are the best part of my day. I don’t wake up to make movies. I wake up to hang out with my family."

Maybe the duo will be sending birth announcements out in the near future as well!
