A Dash of Color: Perfect Puffed Poms!

You have heard us ramble on about Etsy.com one million times. Now we'd like to ramble about one of their most colorful vendors, A Dash of Color. This crafty vendor will cut in pointy or rounded motifs, any size tissue poms you'd desire. What the heck is a tissue pom? Well for those of you who love paper lanterns but don't have the budget for the lighting kits etc, we'd like to introduce you to the TISSUE POM! A festive and unique way to add a little pizazz to any event; shower, stagette, wedding...anything really. A Dash of Color will send you everything you need to set up your event including filament wire to hang the poms. All you need to do is puff the pom! See below and the next post for the finished product.

Ohhh what a nicely puffed pom!

That bride must be a real slave driver...

I know! Let's recruit a man!

So many lovely poms!

Poms for days.....

POST-IT NOTE TWELVE: GUESTLISTS. Discuss.

Now that S1 has completed her bridal journey, S2 is beginning hers. Upward and onward. Shall we? (More deets from S1's wedding is on the way!) Ok, this is what we are talking about. Guestlists. The thick. The thin. The Guestlist. For all events, more specifically the bridal shower and the bachelorette. So where do you begin? Is every female invited to the wedding expecting an invite? We will let you know your thoughts. Starting with...

THE SHOWER
Traditionally all women invited to the wedding are supposed to attend the shower. Today, tradition has somewhat been tinkered with. We say, invite the women who are close family members and close friends. Weddings are expensive enough without burdening a distant relative (let's call her Sally) to bring a shower gift. Yes, there is such a thing as a thoughtful bride.

What about the age cut off at a shower? In our opinion, shower's can be quite tame. However, sometimes there can be certain references to things beyond teenage ears... We feel that no one should be invited under the age of 15 years old. Again, this is your decision and what you feel comfortable with is always best.

THE BACHELORETTE
As a rule, anything and anyone goes. We feel that you should invite the people you feel the most comfotable around. Chances are you will probably be in some compromising situations and you most definitely do not want to feel uncomfortable with your co-worker on Monday morning.

Also important to note are the non-wedding invites. These people are of course more than welcome to attend your last night of freedom. Don't feel restricted in inviting only those attending the wedding.

Age cut-off? Easy, legal drinking age wherever you live..or are going.

Above all, invite those who you really want to be there and the one's your HFH (handsome future husband) want there as well. You're a good bride.
