Hosting Holidays

11/5/2022

 
Holidays are fast approaching and the excitement is already filling my house - along with the stress and pressure. Anyone else feel like Holiday’s bring such a delicate balance of avoiding burnout, emotions and family dynamics while also enjoying the moments that come along with it? 

As newlyweds, our first holiday season together was so exciting - we were lucky to not feel stressed too much but as our family has grown, our kids get older and our partners and siblings life stages change it has gotten harder and harder.  Hosting holidays can be a whole new level of excitement and stress, but either way one thing is certain and that is the amount of work, planning and prep that goes into planning family holidays increases dramatically.
This blog we are going to cover all the hosting basics from choosing the location, menu, ideas, tips and (because we like to cover everything) a week of timeline that breaks down common tasks you want to do. If you want the real info to dig into you'll want to download the free 14 page guide - with examples, and week of timeline. 

Stop overthinking your holiday plans and save this free 14 page guide to get honest and fun ideas.

What to pack for baby's first holiday day trip

11/4/2022

 

From wedding vows to celebrating a growing family we love to support, cheer and watch our couple's milestones.

Holidays with a little one is SO exciting - especially for baby’s first holidays. What most new parents don’t realize though is the list of items that you have to pack up and take with you when visiting family for holidays. If you grabbed our FREE holiday guide then we shared more details on that for you and in this blog are going to give you the list we promised. As a mom of three I understand so well how each time you pack can be tedious trying to not forget any items - and it always seems like one thing gets left behind. I could tell you so many stories about forgotten pacifiers, running out of wipes and being stuck in dirty shirts. If this lists helps you skip any one of those situations then you my friend are winning!

What should you not forget to load before hitting the family holidays?

Finding Wedding Ideas on Social Media: Instagram, Tik Tok, and Pinterest

11/2/2022

 
One thing about the wedding industry is that trends and popular styles change quickly and frequently. From our experience, it's always a constant collaboration of what has been happening in home décor, personality, and custom touches. It is those last two that make it special - but the big question is where do you even start with finding inspiration?

Wedding Planning and Hashtags

Hashtags - Using hashtags for the wedding day has been a helpful tool for years now. In the show, we chat about the pros and cons and how often they are actually used. Key takeaway?
If you want to do hashtags, make sure your guests see the value - most people don't like to spam their own Instagram feeds with 50 photos a day so it makes it hard to get a good collection wihle using your hashtag. UNLESS - you do something really cool as Jenna talked about from her own wedding where guests could see their posts in live time during the event (so cool right?!).
Other great alternatives are out there to guarantee you have some beautiful photos from your guests like a shared drive, RFID buttons, live stream of people posting pictures.
