In addition to getting to work on such beautiful weddings, we often get asked to help plan a shower, welcome party or bachelorette soiree. We love parties, so it's such fun to help clients think of fun, different and special parties. I recently gave a dear friend a wedding shower gift: A date every month from now through their wedding. Between the stress of planning a wedding and the amount of time they are putting in, I always advise my clients - and friends - to take some time out and just be a couple. Their gift included some fun things to do at home {like wedding movies, a pizza gift certificate, a bottle of wine and fall goodies, to enjoy while putting together their wedding invitations}, and things to do out in the city, as well as a gift for the month after their wedding...

I got to thinking that this could be a fun theme for a wedding shower: A Year of Dates. When sending the invitations out to guests, assign them a month. They can use their creativity from there, picking out barware and a favorite drink recipe for a summer concert at Ravinia, or personalized Christmas ornaments for a tree-trimming date. The possibilities are endless and guests will have fun trying to come up with a special date for the couple.
Tomorrow I'm headed on the ultimate date with my one and only. Off to Munich and Paris for an amazing date weekend {and of course a few wedding venue visits while I'm there... I love to see how the Europeans do weddings!}. I always come back inspired {and refreshed!}, so look for fun fall trends and photos next week. Au revoir!
