Put leftover Valentine’s Day doilies to good use

by

Now that February 14th has passed and the Valentine's Day candy has been consumed, many people may have leftover decorations that they don't know what to do with. Instead of throwing them out or packing them away until next year, why not put them to good use?

According to Real Simple magazine, paper doilies can serve many purposes aside from decorating Valentine's Day cards. If you are preparing to travel, a doily can make transporting your earrings easy. Simply fasten the studs through the small holes in the paper and stack the doily in your suitcase.

However, not everybody is planning on taking a trip, but doilies can also come in handy in the kitchen when decorating a dessert.

"Press a doily flat on top of a round cake and, using a fine-mesh sieve, sprinkle confectioners' sugar liberally over the surface," the publication advises. "Use two hands to carefully remove the doily post-dusting."

Finally, you can use this Valentine's Day decoration for pretty baby shower favors. Simply roll the doily into a cone, secure with tape and fill with some sweet treats.

It looks like it's time for yet another Hollywood star to start shopping for birth announcements – Jessica Alba is pregnant! Alba revealed the news that she and husband Cash Warren are expecting on her Facebook page.

"It's been a while since I've been on FB & I thought I'd drop by to let you all in on some exciting news – Honor is going to be a Big Sister!" Alba wrote on the social networking site. "Cash and I are thrilled and wanted to share the news directly with you so you didn't hear about it somewhere else."

This will be Alba and Warren's second child. The couple welcomed a daughter, Honor Marie Warren, in 2008. Friends and fans of the actress may not be surprised that Alba is with child once again.

"Every day [with Honor] is totally different. The love is deeper every day," Alba told People magazine in 2009. "I'm hoping to definitely have more kids. Whatever happens, I'm not setting a certain number. I think in life you're always surprised and a few more kids are certainly in my future." 

Hire a magician for your child’s birthday party!

by

Because children have birthday parties every year, it can be tricky to find a way to keep the annual celebrations fresh. Instead of typical activities, give your child a special treat and hire a magician. This way, all the kids will have a blast making lasting memories.

The best part about a magician is that they will do more than merely entertain the youngsters – he or she will often involve and engage them as well, turning the act into a performance and an activity.

When hiring a magician, remember to recount the necessary details – even if he or she doesn't ask. Inform the performer of the number of children attending in case he or she brings birthday party favors, and communicate the age range of the audience to ensure that the magician prepares age-appropriate material.

When the magician arrives, take him or her aside and go over the details once more. Point out the guest-of-honor and get your camera ready – you will want to take lots of snapshots to commemorate this special day. 

How to bring the outdoors inside on your wedding day

by

Sometimes, there are factors that make an outdoor wedding impossible, such as the weather or finding a venue that can accommodate your needs. However, if you have to say "I do" inside, you can still have a wonderful outdoor-inspired wedding – just get creative!

When selecting a venue, look for places with floor-to-ceiling windows as well as skylights. You can bask in the natural light and enjoy the beautiful scenery without being at the mercy of the elements.

Incorporate nature-inspired decorations into the decor. Fill the space with floral arrangements and use a color scheme that embodies your natural surroundings – verdant greens and rich pinks for a summery feel, or silvers and whites for a snowy, wintertime affair.

Choose wedding favors with personalized wrappers that reflect the outdoors as well. Opt for labels that have images of flowers or leaves, and place one favor by the plate of each guest – you don't want anybody to leave empty-handed!

Just because you're exchanging vows in a rainy or cold climate doesn't mean you can't enjoy the outdoors on your big day. Plan carefully and you can have a beautiful wedding inspired by the great outdoors.

Though tons of people are planning to wed in 2011, there is one union that seems to dwarf all other upcoming ceremonies – Prince William and Kate Middleton's April 29 wedding. Recently, new details emerged about the identity of two very important members of the wedding party.

According to People magazine, Will's brother Harry will be his best man, and Middleton's sister Pippa will serve as the maid-of-honor. While the betrothed couple will still be in charge of most of the planning and shopping for wedding favors, Harry and Pippa will have responsibilities as well.

"[Pippa's job] will be to make sure the bridal gown is displayed properly and the young wedding party is kept in line," the news outlet reports.

The rest of Kate's bridal party has also been revealed. According to the news source, participants include Lady Louise Windsor, 7, daughter of William's Uncle Edward, and Hon. Margarita Armstrong-Jones, 8, daughter of Queen Elizabeth's nephew Viscount Linley.

The lucky invitees on the guest list have begun to make the rounds as well. In an earlier article, People magazine reported that nightclub owner Guy Pelly, Will's ex-girlfriend Arabella Musgrave and childhood friend Thomas Van Straubenzee have all received invitations.
