Wedding Colors for Spring 2012

As new brides begin to plan their spring weddings for the next year, they check Pantone’s spring 2012 fashion color trends to single out the colors that are going to dominate the palettes of some of the most fashionable brides in the spring of 2012. These colors are fun, and there is a shade for every taste, whether you prefer soft pastels or attention-grabbing neons.

As Bridal color’s are not limited to decor and bridesmaids alone, 2012 wedding invitations are just as colorful.   I must say that I’m totally in LOVE with these colors. I can’t wait to pull them together to make some amazingly beautiful invitations for this coming year!

Holiday Card or Family Holiday Newsletter?

The holidays are the time of year to keep in touch: phone calls, cards, letters, e-mails, and for some families, the holiday newsletter, the printed history of the past year. Holiday newsletters are fine, but stick to the highlights--most people will be happy to know that you survived knee surgery and are back on the court, but they won't want to read about your grueling PT sessions. An Emily Post Institute survey showed that people have mixed feelings about receiving newsletters: 53% like them and 47% do not. With that in mind, only enclose newsletters in cards to those you think are interested in hearing your family news.




In addition:

• Share only news that's positive and not too personal
• Keep your letter to one page or less
• A handwritten salutation ("Dear Karen and Phil") is warmer than the printed "Dear Friends," and signing each letter individually personalizes it more.
• Write a one- or two-sentence personal message in the card that accompanies the letter.
• Don't turn your letter into a brag fest.

Five Holiday Gift Giving Pointers for the Office

Playful - Party Invitation

We're going to keep this short and sweet: here are the high points you need to remember on office gift giving during the holiday season.

 

1. Don't give a gift to your supervisor. It could be seen by others as trying to "get in with the boss" or garnering favor. If you want to give something, a card is enough. Or a gift from the entire department or group is appropriate.
2. You can give gifts to your closest work colleagues, but please give the gifts discreetly - perhaps even outside of the office. The last thing you should want to do is hurt anyone's feelings.
3.  A bottle of wine is a great and affordable hostess gift outside of the office, but when it comes to corporate gifting, consider food rather than alcoholic beverages.
4. Speaking of food - everyone jumps up and down over a basket of muffins, a gift certificate to a coffee shop or a box of locally-made chocolates -- Yummm.
5. If your office decides to host a Yankee swap or secret Santa-type exchange and there is a monetary limit (generally $20 or less), keep within that budget. People feel awkward when they receive a gift of greater value.

Wine Bottle Tags and Labels

The interest in vineyards, wineries and wine in the U.S. has grown substantially in recent years and this can only mean more and more bottles are being gifted on all sorts of special occasions. Presenting a bottle of wine as a gift is a perfect way to show your appreciation; presenting two bottles even more so!

Once upon a time one giving a bottle of wine as a gift would simply present it to the recipient by holding it up and uttering a few kind words. Then creativity made it to the scene, and the wine bottles were tucked in specially designed boxes or bags. Today, however, people are letting the labels stand out and do the talking by using personalized wine bottle tags. Labels range from well-recognized classics to artsy up-and-comers to those professionally personalized for specific special events, and all are meant to be seen. Wine bottle tags offer the ideal way to achieve this!

The next time you choose to give the gift of a bottle of wine, consider the modish trend of attaching a bottle tag to its neck. You may make your own or opt for colorful, professionally printed tags that offer enough options to create a truly unique design. Tie the tag to the bottle with coordinating ribbon or thin wire. For a special touch, string beads, baubles and/or charms on the ribbon or wire along with the tag.
