JAZZ up your Home for the Holidays with Bright New Ideas



Not many of us have the time to do detail shopping for the holidays. With all the last minute things to do, there is a way to minimize the rush and get what you want delivered to you home. There are some sites that cater to your every need. All you need to do is sit at your computer and browse. I can assure you this will be fun, and it will help you to see all that is available on any budget.

If you are planning a party for the holiday, then you will need supplies. There are sites for supplies; the excellent thing about this is that you are able to do your shopping in the comfort of your home and not have to go out in the bad weather. There you are able to buy decorations for both inside and outside, tableware, household items like drapes, kitchen curtains, accessories, baking and cake decorating items, for your party if it is a themed event, then you are able to get costumes and decorations to match your theme. These online stores are stocked with any and everything that you need.

After making your online purchases then the next thing is paying for your goods. This is also done online. The convenience of not going out to the bank or having to be, at the store or shop, and pay for your items is a beautiful thing. So now you have shopped, paid for your purchases, the next thing is to wait for delivery. They whole objective of having all this convenience is to be able to do things on time. So, you need to do your online shopping early, in order to have your delivery shipped to you in plenty of time so you can do your decorations, baking and planning in time for your event, or just to make your home festive for the Christmas. Shopping early will eliminate the late fees charged for next day shipping, which can be costly.

The beauty of doing online shopping also is the many discounts you will get. The businesses usually give some pretty good discounts just for doing business with them. The aim is to encourage coming back and to have you recommend them to friends and family. This is good, as this will enable continuous business for them and you will have found a convenient place to do your shopping at any time and for any season. For Christmas decorations and supplies have a look at here.

Celebrating your 10th Wedding Anniversary? How to plan a Memorable event



Anniversaries are times for families and friends to come together and help the happy couple celebrate their memorable day. The event can be social, formal, and semi-formal; whatever theme you want your event to be, and then go for it. It is your anniversary, so you have the liberty to celebrate, however; you choose. Planning any event takes lots of skill, and know-how; so you must have pen, pad, and calendar to start planning.

The date is the first thing to decide. If your anniversary falls on a day mid week, then consider scheduling your party for the Saturday or Sunday for the celebration. If your date falls on a weekend, then, you have no problem. The most significant thing to do is start your plans months in advance, you do not want your event to clash with anything your friends of family perhaps planning for that period. Consider if your anniversary comes during Christmas time, then this maybe a problem. Like my birthday is the 18th, my anniversary is the 20th and Christmas is 5 days away. How do I plan?

The next thing is who goes on your list. Families are the first persons to start your list. For me, this is about 3/4s of my invitees as I have a large family. Couples invited as friends will make up your number. You may consider inviting some single friends who may not feel uncomfortable, but you know will certainly help you celebrate your special moment. If it is an intimate gathering, you know how to arrange for persons to meet and possibly start something unique.

Catered events of this kind allow you to spend time with your guests. You do not want to be busy in the kitchen when you could be waited on by professionals. You will need to book your event as early as 3 months before your date. This will give your caterers time to finalize your menu and be flexible if you have to make last minute changes. Your theme may come in at this time as you may want to consider the caterers using items to blend in with your theme. For decorations,  you may want to hire a professional, who is not too expensive but is able to produce your taste in the theme you want.

For the venue, if you have a big enough garden or indoor space, can be transformed, into the ideal place for your anniversary party and will certainly cut down on cost. A unique touch you may want to consider is you and your husband to exchange gifts at this event.
