wedding in JUne

I got my first invitation to a June wedding and it has chosen the 1st day of the marry month to exchange "I do's". The bride happens to be the daughter of a friend who is a pediatrician and the groom is a casual acquaintance.

The ceremony will be held at a local Catholic church while the reception is set at the function hall of St. Paul University-Dumaguete City.

Based on the invitation I had received the motif of the party seems to be around the color orange. I'll have more of the details after the party on June 1.

To Cake and Joren, here's to a peaceful, fruitful, and happy life together!

invitations

Today, invitations for a birthday party, wedding, debut, or anniversary can be easily made from a variety of choices with regards to the type of paper to be used, graphics, lay-out and design. With the computer, anything is possible. You can make your invitations personalized by having a photo of yourself on the card. However, a simple party may only need simple invitation cards that are available in stores selling school supplies. You may even get them free if you hold the party at Jollibee (for kids' party).

However, a well-thought of and well-written invitation always earns the admiration of people. Invitations with no more than the 5 w's and the h will not be as valuable as an invitation that contains a well-written note from the parents asking guests to be present.

2nd birthday party

My granddaughter and I just returned from a birthday party which a neighbor was having for her daughter who turned two today. It's a simple family affair type of gathering wherein visitors consisted of very close friends and relatives. We were neither, but since our houses are next to each other, we got invited.

Iss Jones, the birthday girl, is half-Filipina and half-American. Her father is an American while her mom is a true-blooded Filipina.

The party was jovial with two major games which made the kids scream with excitement as they tried to grab for the goodies that they were supposed to catch.

Dewey, my grandkid, went home delighted with a balloon and a bag full of candies as her loot.

Here's wishing the cute and pretty little Isabel a very happy birthday!

gifts for a debutante

I got a call tonight from a friend who is attending a debut party on Sunday and is worried about what to give to a debutante. To answer this query, you need to consider the following:

1. your budget

2. debutante's personality type

So I suggested to always consider giving something that the person can use. Bear in mind that a debutante is 18, young, and could be in college. Is she the type who likes clothes? Books? Music? Accessories? So you have to know the debutante to be able to give the right gift. A nice blouse, bag, pair of earrings, bracelet, a CD, beautiful photo album, make-up kit, or maybe a good book.

Since they will also choose 18 treasures, and it is possible that yours will be one of them, remember not to tell them exactly what you have in there. Just give some clues as to color, function, etc. Make your speech interesting and not boring. A sample of a short speech on this would be like this:

"Our debutante will be happy to have this gift of mine because it is something that will make her more beautiful. I am not saying that she is lacking in that department, no, I think she is very pretty but my gift will enhance and bring out the best of her. It will make people want to be near her and I am sure that with this she will be making heads turn and make the boys in our class go crazy over her." (Perfume)
