Posted by MeganH on Oct 29, 2009

Happy (almost) Halloween! We are preparing for our annual WeddingWire Pumpkin Carving Contest this afternoon, so I was inspired to put together a Halloween Wedding Inspiration Board!

tags, do it yourself

It’s that time again……gift giving time! I may be insane, but I love to wrap presents! I am always looking for fun things to add to my gift wrapping and Martha Stewart is always helpful in that department! These gift tags from MarthaStewart.com can be printed at home and would be great for any holiday gift. Click here to download. Happy Holidays!!

Do you ever get tired of the same old Thanksgiving dinner? Well, try something new this year – minis! I saw this at GlamDish this morning and I love it! I would never think to have a cocktail style Thanksgiving, but these mini turkey sandwiches on pumpkin scones and sweet potato fries made me think otherwise!

Having a Thanksgiving or Fall themed wedding? These would be great passed hors d’ oeuvres!

Are you planning an unconventional Thanksgiving dinner this year?

Happy Halloween!

Party Basics for New Nesters

Party Basics for New Nesters

Maria McBride has authored a new party-planning guide that is perfect for all you newlyweds out there. Party Basics for New Nesters offers entertaining ideas for every occasion. As a “new nester” myself, I need this book! Cocktail parties with friends, I can handle (I think). However, I am now expected to host family gatherings and holiday dinners – help!

McBride gives us practical ideas and tips on the basics of entertaining that are easy to understand and execute. This guide is organized by event and will give advice on decor, menu items, and table settings that combine to create a great party.

Do you have any entertaining ideas or advice for newlyweds?
