R E S P E C T – Aretha knows a thing or two, listen up!

by

It’s important to show people in your life respect.  But part of the fun of wedding planning is fulfilling your own wants, needs and dreams.  Haven’t you waited long enough? Gone to enough showers, bought enough bridesmaids dresses, danced the electric slide ’til your feet fall off?  You ought to be able to make your own choices. However, that doesn’t mean you need to charge around like Mariah Carey with her Rainbow Amex at Tiffany & Co. There are other people involved in this process.   You might be using Mom’s Amex, (Rainbow or otherwise) so her feelings figure in.  And your spouse-to-be? The guy/girl of your dreams? Remember him/her?  Keep in mind that everyone involved in your Big Day deserves a little respect.  Being conscious now will make everything easier as your plans develop.  So make sure you TCB. Sock it to me!

Be well, and love well.

Should She Invite Her Ex to The Wedding? My Little Advice Shop

by

Q:  Should I invite my ex-boyfriend to my wedding?  I made a point of staying friends with all my exes through the years precisely so we could all “get along” at an event like this.

A: Here’s the thing.  When it comes to post break-up relationships, there are two kinds of people:the Keep In Touchers  and the Never See Againers.  You are quite clearly a Keep In Toucher.  So, the question becomes.  Where does your man fall?  I have a feeling he’s on Team Never See Again, otherwise you would not be writing, you’d be putting together the perfect “singles table” of all your exes.  As a longtime player on Tean NSA, I advise that if that’s the case to let this one drop. Your man will be a hundred times happier on the big day, and that will show.  After you get settled in to married life, have a barbeque for the old crowd.  Lower the stakes over the steaks, get it?

 

Be well, and love well.

A Wedding Reception That’s Just Desserts? Yes, Please!

by

A Dessert Party is a wonderful idea for an event whether it’s a shower, engagement or even a small wedding. (believe it or not, you don’t need sea bass or prime rib to have a great reception!)  A well styled buffet of elegant desserts can be a showstopper. You can go the DIY route, or find a local bakery (like Palm Springs’ own Pastry Swan) to take over. Either way, vary up your offerings – cakes, petits-fours, home-made cookies,
