Site

Out of the Ordinary has just launched a new website in conjunction with our Original Site designed by me and the talented staff at Next Wave Web Services. It is fun, informative and unique. The site is complete, but each of the pages are not. I am going as fast as I can.  This site is taking place of our newsletter! We will be changing it often and adding new exciting info! So please keep checking back! It is meant to see the fun side of me in addition to the professional side on the original site.

This site is meant to be interactive ---so please let me know what topics you would like to hear about.

Right now, the task in front of me is to pick the perfect music for it. Since it is interactive, I would like IDEAS! Please email me.  I hope you enjoy the new site!

Home Weddings

I decided to blog on the topic of tented weddings because so many for some strange reason - people think that having a wedding or large event in their back yard or a park is cheaper than having it in a traditional venue!!!  This ALWAYS MAKES ME LAUGH!!!!!

 Weddings at home are my favorite --- However before you start planning your wedding at your home their are TONS of things you have to think about ---- Not only do you have to rent a tent, but then there are tables, chairs, linens, china, glassware, tableware, bar-ware -- etc., etc. In addition to that you will need to rent a dance floor, think about restrooms, lighting and parking!!!

Depending on quality and quantity---- your rentals will be anywhere from $5,000 and UP.  It ALWAYS costs about 20% more to host your event at your home.

If you can get past the cost - Tented events are very beautiful and can be made to be very personal. You are working with a blank canvas!

If you are considering having your wedding at home you will need lots of help. If you can't hire a planner, enlist a friend or family member to help

Toasting Glasses

The tradition of having personalized toasting glasses have taken quite the "funky turn."  The old, tired traditional ones are still available, however---if you are not a traditionalist try something different like the Lolita hand painted "WITH THIS RING" Toasting glasses. www.lolitaglasses.com. There are also different styles styles available that you could buy for your bridal party with themes to match their personalities.

At www.discountmugs.com you can find fun glasses that can be personalized and match to the color of the wedding. Some have "funky" twisted stems like the one shown here.

AN "OUT OF THE ORDINARY" IDEA!

Traditionally, the wedding rehearsal and rehearsal dinner is the day before the wedding!!! I have been suggesting to my clients that they try something a little different --- having their rehearsal and dinner on the Thursday before the wedding leaving a day in between to relax and get ready for the big day without rushing and feeling flustered and overwhelmed.

You will have time to finish packing for your honeymoon, go for a spa day with your friends or have a special day with your family!  Another great idea is to have a quiet, romantic dinner with your fiance before you say "I DO."

I have noticed a huge difference in my clients that take the extra day to catch their breath!
