Host a Life Celebration Party

This year, instead of hosting a simple gathering with cake and ice cream to mark the occasion of your loved one’s birthday or a milestone wedding anniversary, consider hosting a Life Celebration Party.

A Life Celebration Party is a great way to capture and relive your grandparent’s best memories. Guests will love to hear stories from the past, and are sure to be amazed at the things they never knew about the guest of honor’s life journey.

(A life celebration party is also a great way to celebrate Grandparent’s day!)

How to Make it a Life Celebration Party

Before the party, sit down with the guest of honor and interview them to get a full look at their life. You may even want to take a recorder so that you don’t miss any unique quotes, and so that the guest of honor will feel more comfortable speaking candidly instead of pausing so that you to write things down.

Take a list of unique questions and try to get the person to open up about his or her favorite memories from childhood, the teen years and adulthood.

What were his or her greatest challenges at those stages? What do they consider their biggest accomplishments? What did they spend their summers doing? How did they get engaged? How did they feel in that moment?

These are details that sometimes get lost in the shuffle, or are overshadowed by grandeur experiences like a wedding or graduation—but they help to fill in the blanks of a person’s life story. (Tip: Ask to look through old photo albums, this always seems to get a person talking as it gives them a starting point.)

A Sweet Life Celebration Keepsake

When you send out your party invitation, ask the guests to also consider writing down a memory, whether funny or sweet, about the guest of honor—include a special personalized lettersheet on which they can write upon and glue photos.

Accept the lettersheets at the beginning of the event as you greet each guest, and later arrange the lettersheets into a keepsake for the guest of honor.

You can also request that a few of the more eloquent guests share their stories or anecdotes aloud throughout the evening as entertainment, and encourage other guests to jump in, if they feel led.

Share Your Guest-of-Honor's Life Story

Once all the guests arrive and have had a chance to mingle a bit, give a short speech (accompanied by a photo slide show) detailing the life of the guest of honor.

Keep it light and fun, certain to include milestone events like birth, graduations, special awards, marriages and children—but also use the unique content you collected from your interview session, and share some of the happy stories with the other guests.

For example, was grandmother a really spectacular swimmer in her younger days? Did she meet grandpa while he was serving in the war? Try and make your guest of honor’s life story come to life as much as possible by sharing interesting details that others may never have known.

At the event’s completion, be sure to present the memory book to the guest of honor to read through—it is sure to bring him/her lots of joy to read through the memories of friends and family members, and it is also sure to become a prized possession that is handed down from generation to generation.

Birthdays are always cause for celebration, no matter what age or milestone. Instead of giving boring store-bought treats, or making lame cupcakes from a box, really impress your loved one with these creative cupcake recipes and decoration ideas.. 

---

Even if you're not super skilled in the kitchen, some clever icing, sprinkles or even presentation can make all the difference from a boring old cupcake to a wow-worthy birthday treat. Take a look at some of our favorites, and get inspired to whip up something extra special!

1. Blueberry Cupcakes in a Jar

What is a better way to send some birthday love than cupcakes in a jar! We’ve already made this blueberry cupcake recipe, but with this simple idea you could package up any of your favorite treats. The ribbon and layers make for an impressive display.

2. Bacon Cupcakes with a Maple Frosting

Breakfast meets dessert. Add some crispy bacon and sweet maple to this chocolate cupcake recipe for an unforgettable treat. Seriously,, who doesn’t want a bacon cupcake!?

3. Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Cupcakes

With only a few ingredients, and a simple instruction list, these cookie and cream cheesecakes cupcakes will make any Oreo loving birthday girl (or boy) go crazy! And look how delicious they look with the Oreo cookie on the bottom?

4. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough-Stuffed Cupcakes

We were drawn to these cupcakes from Chocolate Covered Katie because they were stuffed, but when we saw that they were also filled with cookie dough, we knew they were sent from heaven!  Plus, they are gluten-free!

5. White Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Cupcakes

There is no better way to show someone you love your appreciation than with chocolate-covered strawberries, so why not turn them into a birthday treat, and serve them up! We opted for white chocolate in this recpe, and placed the strawberries right on top of the cupcake. With a cute cupcake wrapper, these are just as special as the receiver.

6. Funfetti Angle Food Cupcakes

We love funfetti because it's super birthday-appropriate and colorful. Of course, you could always buy the mix from a box, but this homemade version from Cooking Classy makes your cupcakes with extra love!

7. Hamburger Cupcakes

Let your vegetarian friends have a fun party with these meat-less hamburger cupcakes from The Vegetarian Ginger. We promise, they don’t taste anything like the real thing, though they do look on point!

8. Sweetheart Cupcakes

Of course heart-shaped holes are the perfect way to show your friend or loved one how much you love them on their birthday, but with a simple cookie cutter you could make these cupcakes from Glorious Treats into whatever shape you want!

9. Rainbow Cupcakes

Make today a colorful celebration with these rainbow cupcakes! Or if your birthday boy or girl has a few favorite colors mix them up and send some tie dye cupcakes their way!

10. Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes

We’ve seen variations of this recipe all over the internet, but thanks to The Cake Blog, we’re thinking we might actually give this trend a try! Perfect for the birthday boy or who can’t get enough ice cream (me!), or for a celebration where guests can decorate their own dessert.

How to plan an Indoor Wedding Reception

Planning an Indoor Wedding Reception:

Planning your wedding reception can be overwhelming and take a lot of effort, but it can be very enjoyable if you approach it in a methodical fashion and start planning ahead instead of doing different tasks at random. A wedding reception has to be planned in the right order because many decisions are interdependent. One of the most important things that you need to do first is decide who is going to be your coordinator. Your coordinator does not necessarily have to be a hired professional, but it does need to be someone that understands what you want and is dependable to help you in the planning/prepping stage of your event and able to completely take over during the event so that you can enjoy your day… I would not recommend it be your mother either because she needs to enjoy the day also!

Set the date for your wedding before you start looking for Venues for the reception. Many reception sites are booked six months to a year in advance. Wedding receptions are seasonal. For example, professionals in wedding reception business know that June is the busiest month for wedding receptions. So selecting a date for a reception will affect the cost of renting a Venue as there is a lot higher demand for Venues in spring/summer time than in winter. Which day of the week you chose is also very relevant. Most receptions and parties are arranged on Saturday evenings. It will generally cost you more to host an event on a Saturday evening due to supply and demand situation.

Set down your budget. A big factor here is to decide on number of guests you want to invite. Cost of many things like catering, venue rental and decorations depend on head count and how much you plan to do yourself.

Nowadays the two main types of reception are sit-down meal or cocktail party. Sit-down meal is traditional and formal, and requires formal tables and chairs and more space in the venue. A cocktail party is hip and less expensive, since guests can stand and mingle. Meal can be formal cuisine, snacks for a cocktail party, or an in between option is heavy hors d’oeuvres. There are many choices, if you choose that route, which are attractive and satisfying allowing your guests a variety of choices to nibble on throughout the event.  These can vary from the traditional veggie platter with humus or dip in the center and standard cheese and salami platter to meatballs with a variety of sauces to stuffed grape leaves or stuffed mushrooms. There are many resources at your fingertips on line as well as some caterers that may be of assistance. Remember, there is no reason to limit your choices when there are so many options out there that are not only delicious, but also beautiful adding that little extra personal touch to your event.

Decide on things you want to do at the wedding reception because the venue you choose should accommodate. For example, do you need a stage for speeches, do you need sound system for music, do you need space for a DJ, do you need a dance floor, do you need special space for cake cutting, and are the bride and groom going to sit on a raised platform?

There are many legal and practical matters to consider when it comes to serving alcohol to your guests at a wedding reception. The easiest and most expensive option is to hire a professional bartender, who can bring the alcohol and trained staff to serve. Check that the bartender is licensed to operate such business in your state, ask for a copy of their permit and liability insurance. Liability insurance is good for your peace of mind and financial protection. If the bartender option is not affordable, then in most states you, as a host of the party, can obtain a special occasion permit from the appropriate department in your state. This permit allows you to serve liquors. Third option is to serve beer and wine only since it does not require any special permit in most states. You can buy one time liability insurance online for a special occasion, if you want that peace of mind.

You can rent a venue that provides food as part of the package. This option can be more expensive and, your cuisine options are limited and dinnerware options maybe limited too. Of course it’s convenient to have the venue provide everything rather than dealing with two separate vendors. Second, a more versatile option is to rent a venue that allows you to cater food from a caterer of your choice. Caterers can bring in food with all the accessories, like dinnerware, linens, food warmers and tables, along with trained staff to serve.

Photography is very important and fun. You can hire a professional to capture all the right poses and events. Backgrounds are very important to decide ahead of time. Digital photographs can be displayed on large screens at the venue in real-time. Make sure pick a venue with large display screens and bring your Chromecast to send pictures from cameras to the screens through WiFi. Yes WiFi is a must have these days for any reception venue. Another fun option is to have disposable cameras at each table and ask your guests to snap moments of your event for you, all of the photos may not be perfect but it will capture a perfect memory.

There are also several things that you can do to add your own personal touch to your event like printing your own invitations using a font and style to reflect a little of your personality, cocktail napkins with you and your new spouse’s name and wedding date on them, an anniversary piñata to be opened on your first anniversary with messages from all the guests, and then for the wild and crazy receptions, there is always the hangover helper kits that contain in a small bag a small bottle of water, an Alka-Seltzer, a Tylenol individual pack, peppermint and breakfast coupon for McDonald’s!

The most important requirement about a dance floor is extra space in the main venue. There are affordable options to have vinyl custom decals made for the dance floor with design or bride and groom’s monograms. Lighting from the ceiling also adds glamour. It’s important to check what type of media can be used to play your songs, like the music system in the venue has a CD player or do they have options to play from your mobile phone or a USB flash drive. If you are using a DVD player for video songs, is there an option to send DVD audio to the sound system as well.

Finally, your best secret weapon is a reception cheat sheet. A cheat sheet will help you plan, organize and stick to a schedule on the big day. The trick to cramming all your events into a short time frame is to be judicious with what you include. For example, a father-daughter and mother-son dance is fine, but you probably aren't going to have time to waltz with your brother, grandfather and favorite uncle, too. You also need to be realistic about how long each event will last. Once you determine the time allotment, work a few more flexible minutes into the schedule. If you think the cake cutting will take five minutes, allot 10 just to be sure. Giving yourself and your guests a bit of extra time in your time line will help ensure your reception stays on track, and this wiggle room could even give you the ability to extend a few of the more popular events like unplanned toasts from some of your guests.

Even if you're planning an afternoon reception, you don't have all day (or night). You might wish it could last a lifetime, but no matter how grand the party is, after a few hours, your guests will want to go home.

·         4:00 p.m. - guests arrive at the reception site/cocktail hour begins

·         5:00 p.m. - introduction of the bridal party and the bride and groom

·         5:15 p.m. - guests are seated

·         5:30 p.m. - champagne toasts from father of the bride, best man and maid of honor

·         6:00 p.m. - announcement of dinner/buffet opening

·         6:10 p.m. - dinner is served

·         7:00 p.m. - first dance

·         7:05 p.m. - father/daughter and mother/son dances

·         7:10 p.m. - bridal party enters the dance floor

·         7:15 p.m. - dance floor opens to everyone

·         8:10 p.m. - cake-cutting ceremony

·         8:45 p.m. - bouquet and garter toss

·         9:00 p.m. - send-off for the newlyweds

Using a cheat sheet doesn't guarantee that everything will go as planned during your reception. A cheat sheet will, however, help keep your reception running smoothly, and despite months of planning and preparation, that's all you can really ask for.

What your engagement ring says about you (BanquetOne, Charlotte NC)

From classic round to cutting-edge cushion, find out which engagement ring shape is the best fit for your personality.
http://www.banquetone.com

By: 

 Elena Donovan Mauer

Round

The look: Also known as brilliant-cut, this tried-and-true shape reflects more light than any other, and is the most popular. Avril Lavigne showed her traditional side by wearing a round diamond engagement ring.

This choice says you're: Trustworthy and easygoing.

 

 

Emerald

The look: Inspired by the Asscher, this glamorous choice is also a rectangular step-cut shape. It has fewer facets than some of the other shapes, so look for an emerald-cut that offers maximum brilliance.

This choice says you're: Efficient and straightforward.

 

 

 

Cushion

The look: Rectangular with curved sides, the cushion-cut first hit big in the 18th century. A recent resurgence in popularity has given it a modern-meets-vintage feel. Ben Affleck gave Jennifer Garner a cushion-cut rock.

This choice says you're: Organized and daring.

 

 

 

Princess

The look: This relatively new square shape, with a modern, understated feel, combines a sparkly, brilliant effect with a geometric step-cut. You can attribute its spectacular glitter to extra faceting around the rim.

This choice says you're: Decisive and fun-loving.

 

 

 

 

 

Heart

The look: This century-old shape, symbolizing love and devotion, should be well proportioned for optimum sparkle. Kid Rock proposed to Pamela Anderson with a yellow heart-shaped diamond.

This choice says you're: Sentimental and dreamy.

 

 

 

Pear

The look: Resembling a teardrop, a pear-shaped diamond has the fire and beauty of a round shape, but with a less conventional look. This shape can also make a wide finger look slimmer.

This choice says you're: Even-tempered and adaptable.

 

 

 

Oval

The look: If you love the gorgeous sparkle of a round, brilliant-cut diamond but still want something unique, consider an oval. A fresh take on a timeless style, this new shape came about in the early 1960s. Actor Jerry O'Connell recently gave his betrothed fashionista, Rebecca Romijn, an oval-shaped sparkler.

This choice says you're: Risk-taking and creative.

 

 

Asscher

The look: Square with angular corners, this shape dates back to the late 1800s. If you look closely, you'll see that it's step-cut, meaning the facets are rectangular and seem to descend into the stone.

This choice says you're: Feminine and meticulous.

Diamonds by the Numbers

73: Percentage of brides who help choose or affect the choice of engagement ring.

4: Average number of jewelry stores those brides visit.

$2,600: Average amount spent on an engagement ring.

50: Percentage of diamond engagement rings that include round diamonds. The runner-up: square shapes like princess and emerald-cut. The biggest rise in popularity has been in vintage-inspired shapes like cushion and Asscher.
