By Sue on Sunday, May 31st, 2009 | No Comments

Picking the right one among the many bridal gown designers can be a tough task.  It should be.  This is the dress that you will be wearing on what could be the most important date of your life. It should be one that makes you look the very best on this special occasion. There are many ways it could go wrong, which is why you and anyone who’s helping you needs to look over all the dresses that they can to make sure that the perfect one is chosen.

Picking the right designer may be a matter of picking a designer that makes dresses and gowns that fit the bride well. Another way of picking would be based on price – not everyone has a spectacular budget, even for such as special day. A dress wouldn’t be perfect if it’s one that the bride can’t afford, alter all. It would be

By Sue on Wednesday, May 20th, 2009 | No Comments

There is one thing and one thing only that announces to
everyone it is time for cake, and it is my birthday. The
words are simple and everyone who can speak English knows
the words, from a toddler to someone who is 100 years old.

Comprised of 4 bars, 16 words each the tune is simple and
the meaning is deep.

In fact, according to the Guinness Book of World Records,
Happy Birthday is the most popular song in the English
Language.

And although it has been translated into many different
languages, it is usually sung in English, even in countries
that dont speak English as their primary language.

The Hill sisters composed the tune, -Happy Birthday To
You-, in 1893. Originally the schoolteachers wrote the tune
to a song entitles -Good Morning To You- and was sung to
the classroom every morning.

But the version we know was copyrighted in 1935 and the

A Rose Of A Different Color Black Wedding Dresses

By Sue on Sunday, May 17th, 2009 | No Comments

Black wedding dresses are the best option for the unconventional bride looking for a way to make her wedding bold and unique. A wedding should be the finest memory and event in a woman’s life, astride her career and her dreams. It only make sense that with the world growing and changing in culture, the traditional white dress is no longer the only option.

In fact, throughout history, women have been wearing different colours for their marriage ceremonies. Native American culture has had their women change their dress colours according to their area.  Northern Native American tribes actually dressed their women in black. In India, the brides traditionally wear red to represent a positive atmosphere, with green sometimes being used to represent fertility. Of course, in Western communities or contexts it’s not surprising to fear that the bride would appear Gothic or outrageous. While there is nothing wrong

Baby’s First Birthday

By Sue on Friday, May 15th, 2009 | No Comments

In the UK, we celebrate birthdays in the grandest ways. We
spend countless amounts of money and time planning and
carrying out these special parties that last just hours.

When we give birth to a new bundle of joy we typically
spend the first year so crazed that it seems only right to
celebrate that special time with a big celebration of
family and friends.

Because a babys first birthday is usually a celebration of
friends and family, they tend to be a huge milestone. All
those people who watched mum grow and give birth, then see
how the baby grows throughout the first year now have a
reason to get together to celebrate again.

And because the baby doesnt remember their first birthday,
it really makes it about the parents.

One important thing that the birthday boy or girl does get
to do is celebrate with their own piece of cake, or even

An Egyptian Themed Birthday Party

By Sue on Tuesday, May 12th, 2009 | No Comments

Ancient Egypt is a fascinating place all these years later. From mummies and pyramids to pharos and scarabs there is plenty of fuel for the fascination pyre. Keep in mind however, that the goal here is for the kids to have a great time, not to be frightened so keep the scary stuff to a minimum if possible (even if your child is brave to a fault that doesn’t mean that some of the guests won’t be frightened and you want the experience to be pleasant for everyone).

Decorations for this are not as difficult as you may think. In fact, some of these decorations will double quite nicely for Halloween or may already be in your Halloween stash. First of all, if you have a canopy or tent lying around this will make an excellent substitution for a pyramid. You can fill your canopy or tent with relics that are

A Birthday Party at the Scene of the Crime

By Sue on Thursday, May 7th, 2009 | No Comments

Television shows such as CSI (and the subsequent CSI Miami and CSI New York), NCIS, and Cold Case Files have made crime scenes and crime investigations the new murder mystery parties. They are a great deal of fun when properly planned and well executed but leave a lot of room for failure if poorly planned or inflexible. If you are considering a party such as this, a great party for teens and adults alike be sure that you either have an actual mystery to solve as the evening progresses or that you simply use the theme as a backdrop.
