Activity for Samantha

I am really into paper, and always dreamed of having my invitations engraved on Crane stationary...which is super expensive. We are NOT actually doing that because I really just can't justify it. However, I think if we were having a more formal...

I'm 52 and my MOH is one of m adult daughters and she is beyond excited to handle the bachelorette party. I had to talk her down a bit from a wild night of clubs and debauchery ;-) but she found an great idea, sort of like the "escape rooms" BUT you...

I just got back from a lovely wedding today, fh’s niece. I wondered why they had it on a Monday, but found out at the rehearsal dinner last night - it’s also the groom’s parents 35th anniversary! I thought that was very sweet. Anyone else set a date...

My FH and I just received invites to his niece’s wedding and rehearsal dinner. After being knee deep in planning and on wedding websites, my first thought was “oh god what if WE are obligation invites???” I texted the RSVP and she replied “WOOHOO” so...

One guy will wear a baseball cap the entire time. He will be in a suit and otherwise well dressed, but he will wear some sort of affinity baseball cap. Our neighbor who speaks entirely in non-sequiters. He will get animated and it won’t be clear...

I have two minds about my ering - fh wants to shop together. I love the idea of an antique ring, drool over the ones on eragem. But...I am also leaning toward a moissanite. Please show off your vintage rings if you are so inclined!

Today I saw a clip from Yes To the Dress and the bride was getting married in Tuscany. Her mom and sisters were at the dress appointment but they werne't invited to the wedding. The bride said they had to keep the guest list small, so family wasn't...

I just got the new pricing for my work health insurance, and realized that since I have both my girls and me on my policy, it won’t cost anything to add a spouse. I told FH and he said, “Oh. I pay around $600 a month.” That’s quite a bit of...

Jewel and Dolly Parton have a duet “I am my father’s daughter” and it is so lovely! If you have a close relationship with your father, check it out, it’s so sweet!

Our venue is a small country club that is nice, it’s just in an area of houses, that sort if thing. A couple hotels are about 15 mins away - Hampton Inn, one more chain. It’s just that there’s nothing really in the area, no downtown or anything. BUT...

I’m 90% sure that my daughter is going to make my dress, but she and her sister convinced me to go “look” at dresses to make sure that I wanted that particular look. I tried on a couple that were what I *thought* I wanted - simple lines, no lace,...

We really like our cats. I was born a cat lady and my FH has turned into a cat man after being around me so much. Instead if table numbers we are going to name them after our cats - a cute drawing and a funny bio. “Bumblebee is part Himalayan and...

I know there shouldn’t be mention of gifts on the invitation at all, so I am trying to find the right way to make sure everyone knows we do not want/need gifts. If someone asks it will be easy to let them know, but I want everyone to know we really...

This has probably been asked a dozen times - has anyone used Costco flowers? Especially the 24ft greenery garland. I was thinking of long rectangle tables and the garland down the middle with some flowers added.
