Social Fundraising

Here is a social fundraising idea that was passed on by a co-worker:

Toys for Tots Cocktail Hour - Why not host a Toys for Tots Cocktail Happy Hour at your home (it can be longer than an hour). Get your bar and some drinks together and send an Evite to everyone asking them to bring an unwrapped toy or a donation for the event. Serve light hors d'oeuvres and mingle with your family/friends/co-workers. Not only is it a great fundraiser benefiting needy children in your community, but you will also be supporting the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve. It's the perfect opportunity/excuse to have a cocktail, unwind and socialize. All toys should be donated to your Local Toys for Tots Campaign Office. Click Here to find a location near you.

My Microblading Experience: Will I do it again?

So I decided to try microblading on my eyebrows. As a side note, if you plan on having it done for your wedding or other event , I recommend getting the procedure done no less than 3 months before your event. After scouring the internet and watching countless Youtube videos and checking out Instagram photos, I became obsessed with this new beauty craze. For those of you who aren't familar with microblading, it is a type of permanent makeup for your eyebrows. Your eyebrows are tattooed with permanent ink. The ink is deposited under the skin, just like a regular tattoo. Instead of a tattoo blade, microblading uses several needles formoing a blade to cut the skin. The result is hairlike brush strokes cuts on the skin which are then filled with your choice of colored ink. While this is a form of permanent make-up, just like any tattoo, touch ups are needed so it's not a one time permenent thing. If you are like me, before I got the procedure, the main thing you proba

10 Great Birthday Party Places for Kids in the Washington DC Area

So it happens to me every year, actually twice a year since I have two boys. I wait until the last minute to start planning because I have no idea where to hold their birthday parties. If you are like me, you prefer to keep people out of the house. For someone like me it is easier to pay someone to set-up, host, entertain and clean-up. That way, everyone can pack up and go home without a hassle. While searching online I found a host of unique places that just never come to mind when I'm trying to figure what to do for the kids. These are in no particular order but I went ahead and compiled a list of my top 10 favorites within the DC, MD and VA (DMV) area.

With GigMasters you can book the services of a clown or magician, rent chairs, tables or even a bounce house. You t

Bride's or Groom's Name First on Party Favors

When you are planning a wedding there is a lot more to worry about than just ordering your supplies and decorations. Just like every step of the wedding, there are rules of etiquette on wording for the bride and groom's name. So you may be wondering what name format to use on your party favors , wedding décor, invitations, etc. Is it the Groom's name or the Bride's name first? First and foremost, I must mention, it is your wedding and your day, so you can do whatever you want to. However, tradition or custom states a particular order as to whose name goes first. American custom or tradition states the name of the bride precedes the groom's name on any printed items. So if you are known as "Brian and Sarah", your napkins in this case will be "Sarah and Brian", with Sarah obviously being the bride. The same applies if you are using initials or a monogram . So again, you are S&B. When adding names to party favors, supplies and deco
