I think lanterns are a lovely touch and a way to make your wedding stand out. These Ikea lanterns are inexpensive and can be used for a variety of things! Centerpieces, decor, hanging lighting….or my personal fave, a great alternative to a traditional bouquet!
I {heart} Hobo bags! More specifically their clutches and their wallets. Don’t get me wrong…the bags themselves are fabulous! But the clutches and wallets are the genius of this label.
Hobo International - Handbags and Accessories
I often found myself needing more than a wallet…but a clutch never did the trick and a small handbag was just too much. But Hobo fills that gap and is still able to differentiate between their clutches and wallets!
I used to carry a Hobo frame wallet that would double as clutch on the occasions that I simply needed my wallet and keys. I have, however, moved past those days and find myself carrying my entire life with me on a regular basis. So, I’ve moved up to a Hobo clutch that serves as my wallet!
You may think to yourself, “what’s the fuss about…clutch, wallet, who cares?!” Well I care. You see… Hobo products are not only chic, but functional. They’re designed to make sense but don’t have those endless array of “organizing pockets” like some tragic labels. Granted, my Hobo Wallet/Clutch is larger than your average wallet…but that’s just how I roll. I have a mobile office that makes it look like I’m leaving on a trip every morning I leave the house! So having the ability to downsize to a wallet/clutch that perfectly fits my keys, phone and lipgloss is a dream!
I know you want to get a drink from the bar or chat and catch up with the person seated next to you. BUT, when someone is on the mic giving a speech or toast to the bride and groom…quiet down. It is hard enough for these fine people to get on a mic in front of all the friends and family of the bride and groom. They’re nervous enough! The chatter of people who are not paying attention does not help the situation. Give those folks the respect they deserve. They will appreciate your cooperation and likely get through their speech quicker!

There are very little boundaries these days. Everyone wants to feel connected to other folks and with the influx of so many social media outlets (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Myspace, etc) those connections are crossing boundaries that used to be rather distinct. As an example: a co-worker you only speak to on occasion finds you on Facebook and wants to be your Facebook friend. Not wanting to be rude, you accept them. But now, they have access to all sorts of random tidbits about you that they did not have access to before.
Many people try to say “Well you should only use LinkedIn for business and Facebook for friends and family,” but trying to fimly maintain that distinction is very difficult. This makes it your responsibility to be very careful with what you post on these websites. Its a warning that is shouted by many Social Media experts, but not always adhered to by others. Just as you can’t un-ring a bell, you can’t erase what’s been written in cyberspace. Chances are by the time you do, somebody has already seen what was written when you didn’t want them to.
Everyone has to adjust their own internal filter to their comfort level, but be sure to use that internal filter. EVERYONE sees your status updates on nearly every single one of these sites. Be careful what you put out into the cyber universe because karma has a funny way of coming back to you.
Happy Monday!
