Socialize Your Wedding Seating Chart!

by Danielle Andrews Sunkel

This amazing tool, SocialTables,  helps you create your seating plan, then socialize your guests BEFORE the wedding by attaching their Social Profiles to the Seating Chart.

Guests can see who they are sitting with, post notes, view social profiles, become Facebook friends, follow each other on Twitter, all before they even get to the wedding.  Can you imagine how much fun everyone will have once they get to the reception and actually have things to talk about??
Even better, the drag and drop tool makes Seating Plans easy-peasy for you too!  

Just upload your guest list, set up your tables, then select the guest's name and then drag and drop them in their seat!  How fun is that?

Here is a video of how it works:

Even better?  It's FREE ;)

Beautiful, High-Fashion Bridesmaids Dresses (no joke!)

by Danielle Andrews Sunkel

In the interest of saving friendships and preventing bad fashion choices everywhere, I am going to share one of my deepest and best secrets.  A website that lets you have high fashion that Vogue would approve of, at prices your pocketbook can handle.  

These gorgeous bridesmaids dresses range in price from $99-269 and ship within 3 weeks. 

Short Dresses

             

Long Dresses

                  

With looks like these, your friends will beg you to let them be a bridesmaid.  The only problem with these dresses? Unfortunately your best buds will have to fit standard sizes S-XL.

And now my secret: All of the above dresses and pictures are from Light in the Box.

 

Let your guests leave a lasting impression- Unique guest book idea!

 by Danielle Andrews Sunkel

We always talk about leaving a lasting impression on your wedding guests, well now they can make a lasting impression too!

Instead of the traditional guest book, your guest's leave their fingerprint on a custom guest book print. Not only is it a source of fun and conversation, it becomes a piece of artwork for your marital home to cherish forever! 

Order a custom thumbprint guest book print from Teardrop Weddings, upload a photo of you and your fiance and  you will receive a 13" x 7" print on artists canvas made to look like you and your fiancé, an instruction card for the guests and archival ink that won't fade for 300 years!

Thanks to Mel Smith, CEO of BustmyBudget.com an on-line Daily Wedding Deals website, who sent me a link about these unique guest thumb prints.

Teardrop Weddings is based in Toronto, but ships anywhere.

Your Wedding Night with "The Booty Parlor"

By: Tracey Manailescu

Happy Valentines Day to all of the lovebirds out there! 

I was watching a show on television a couple of weeks ago, and this ultra cool store, The Booty Parlor, came up as a hotspot for celebrities to bring their A-Game to the bedroom.  So of course, I wanted to share with you!

        

The Booty Parlor was founded in 2004 by married couple Charlie and Dana B. Myers. Their premise behind the company is that 'confidence is the sexiest thing a woman can have'. The store has been featured on just about every magazine and tv show out there (for the right market).

Products range from sweet and flirty, to down-right naughty!

The Booty Parlor Blog is full of great tips and expert advise to spice up your life! Tips such as how to be a better flirt, how to turn your bedroom into a sexy boudoir, etc.

How great is this for those of you who want to ensure your wedding night will never be forgotten!

Myers has added to the allure of The Booty Parlor by writing a book, The Booty Parlor Mojo Makeover: Four Weeks to a Sexier You released on January 25th, 2011.

Signing off, because I am going shopping!
