We all pretended we'd forgotten her Birthday all morning and then feigned shock and surprise when Rebecca phoned to wish her a Happy Day, of course we always knew, of course we'd never forget, we were just all so super busy that the pre ordered cake didn't make it up to Sally's office until nearly 2:00pm
I keep telling her that candlelight is flattering
Then we noticed a little visitor in the side window munching on some ears of corn, he was humanley captured and released into Ashton Gardens, I hope he doesn't come back for some of Sally's Cake.
I know scary right? You just had the wedding of your dreams and had 300 of your closest peeps to celebrate with you. You are now back from your honeymoon and it's time to write all of those Thank you cards for all 150 of the amazing gifts you recieved! I know you are seeing lots of wine and a sore wrist in your future but by following a few easy tips, letter writing can actually be fun and easy!
We have helped many Clients get through writing Thank you cards with a bit of our own advice and guidance from the lovely Peggy Post of Emilypost.com
Remember You need to write your Thank you notes within three months of you receiving your gift!
Coastside Couture's advice:
Grab a good bottle of wine (very important)
Plan on breaking up the Thank you card writing over a few days, don't try to tackle all 150 of them in one sit down, you will end up uncomfortable, with a sore wrist and most likely a lot of wasted cards because you started messing up.
Make sure your Husband or Wife is on hand to help, these gifts were meant for the both of you, so both of you should at least sign each card.
Try not to watch TV or a movie while writing the cards, just have some good background music as to not distract you or get silly lyrics in your heads
Make this fun, not a chore and try to write legibly and clearly so your guests can read.
Peggy Posts Advice:
Do personalize your notes and make reference to the person as well as the gift.
Do remember that a gift should be acknowledged with the same courtesy and generous spirit in which it was given.
Do be enthusiastic, but don’t gush. Avoid saying a gift is the most beautiful thing you have ever seen unless you really mean it.
Don’t send form letters or cards with printed messages and just your signature; don’t use email or post a generic thank you on your wedding web site in lieu of a personal note.
Do promptly acknowledge the receipt of shipped gifts by sending a note right away or calling and following up with a written note in a day or two.
Don’t mention that you plan to return a gift or that you are dissatisfied in any way.
Don’t tailor your note to the perceived value of the gift; no one should receive a perfunctory note.
Do refer to the way you will use a gift of money. Mentioning the amount is optional.
Don’t include wedding photos or use photo cards if it will delay sending the note.
Don’t use being late as an excuse not to write. Even if you are still sending notes after your first anniversary, keep writing!
Who needs a note?
Anyone who gives you an engagement, shower or wedding gift, even if you have thanked them in person. Individual notes should be written to people who contributed to a group gift.
Anyone who gives a gift of money: cash, checks, contributions to savings accounts and donations to charities. Mentioning the amount is optional, but it does let the person know the correct amount was received. You should mention what you plan to do with the money.
Your attendants. A warm personal note attached to your gifts to your attendants will let them know how much you appreciate their efforts and support on your behalf.
Anyone who hosted a party or shower for you. Ideally these notes should be written within two days of the event. Each host or hostess should be thanked individually with a note and a thank you gift.
People who house or entertain your wedding guests. A note and a small gift should be sent to anyone who houses or entertains out-of-town wedding guests.
People who do kindnesses for you. The neighbor who accepts delivery of your gifts when you are at work; the cousin who supervises the parking at the reception – anyone who assists you before, during or after your wedding.
Suppliers and vendors. You don’t have to write everyone you hire for services, but anyone who exceeds your expectations will appreciate a courteous note of thanks.
Your parents or whoever is hosting your wedding.
So get to work! Grab your wine, your honey and start writing!

Interview with LM Member, Joan Klatil Creamer - 1st female car designer @GM
I am sure you know by know how much Heidi and I love our local community and do as much as we can to support it. With that being said, last week we had two amazing events (we either helped plan along with a committee or got to attend) both showcasing the awesome downtown area we have here in Santa Cruz.
First was Cruzin' Courses, an annual celebration of women socializing together in downtown Santa Cruz. At its core is a strong commitment to the city itself, promoting the wonderful dining and shopping available, and supporting local treasures like our Museum of Art and History. Cruzin' Courses is a progressive dinner, where 60-70 women (dressed to the nines) stroll from course to course throughout the evening. Each year a different group of restaurants and shops are selected and work out sumptuous menus and special offers with the business owners to make the evening fabulous!

Heidi and I had a blast and enjoyed meeting some new and amazing women as well and tearing up the dance floor with our good buddies at the end of the evening..

On Saturday The Downtown Association of Santa Cruz hosted it's 50th anniversary Gala at The Top of The Ritt.
With a Barber shop Quartet welcoming guests as they arrived to 7 come 11 opening up the evenings music to Lavay Smith and her Red Hot Skillet Lickers headlining the entire event we were covered in awesome entertainment!
The heavy hors d'œuvre were provided by The Red and they were fantastic! Our sweet and dashing handsome friend JP of VinoCruz provided the bubby for guests to sip upon arrival. It was a lovely event and a wonderful success.

Title: Jamie Lynn Spears is Getting Married
People magazine recently announced Zoey101 star Little Jamie Lynn is planning on marrying her baby daddy Casey Aldridge.
Budgets, budgets, budgets. Yes, Brides and Grooms To Be, I know you hate this part of planning. I get it. But as soon as that ring is on it needs to be discussed. Can I tell you how many couples come to me and Karissa without a realistic thought to the cost of the wedding. "I want my dream wedding, but I want to keep the cost down." or my favorite "We don't really have a budget". Darling, even Donald Trump has a Budget! So what are wanting to spend on this dream wedding? To some it's $30,000 others $100,000 and still others couldn't imagine spending more than $15,000. As a professional Wedding Planner, I have to remind myself that my clients have no idea what a party of this magnitude will cost. So the first thing we do, except for with our "Month of" client, is crunch those numbers. We want them to see on paper the "average" spent on each part of the event. Below is an example of where the money will go. This is a very generic example, but one that you can plug your numbers into to get an idea of how much you can spend on your reception- site, rentals, caterer, or your photographer.
OK, so now you have an idea of what you can spend. But lets say you have $20,000 and 300 guests. You fall in love with a site with a site fee of $3000 which leaves you with $5000 for the rest of your reception costs. You soon realize that the sit down dinner you envisioned is never going to happen. What to do? Here is my advice. GET REAL! 33 guests- $20,000 is not going to equal a traditional sit down dinner with a big cake and an open bar. Those insanely beautiful centerpieces you saw on your favorite wedding blog are going to cost 3x what you can afford. But you say you have to have it? You have to have what? What that Bride had and this Bride had. It is your wedding. You have your own personality, taste, style and yes- Budget. So listen up Bride's and Groom's to be! Sit down and make a list of what you really want on your wedding day. Pretty flowers, yummy food, a photo booth, a garden ceremony.... whatever. Then crunch the numbers. What you want is way over your budget? Consider some of these suggestions-
-Have a cocktail or dessert reception. No one says you have to feed your guests dinner (except maybe your Mom, but it is your wedding not hers). -Have your wedding at Home, or at a friend or family member's home. Saves you the site fee and gives your wedding a more intimate feel. -Have your Wedding off season, or on any day but a Saturday. -Have a small destination wedding with just your family and closest friends. and my biggest suggestion-
CUT YOUR GUEST LIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't afford your wedding with 300 guests? Cut that list to 150 of the people you really know and love and Viola! That wedding is starting to look doable. Get out there and get creative. Make your wedding feel like the two of you, take care of guest comfort, and be REAL! It's your wedding, not the girl who's wedding was featured on that favorite wedding bog today.

Dont for get to rate and sub you enjoyed it!
Lyrics:
Where's your respect? (Where's your respect?)
Why bite the hand that feeds you
It's not over yet(not over yet)
Plenty more fingers for you to nibble
I'd like to see you get your teeth round this
I'm sure your jaw will sorely be missed
Not even salt can make your hands taste good
I'm still crunching your lifeline
Not even salt can make your hands taste good
I'm still crunching your lifeline
You do this every fucking time
No sweat (no tears) no guilt
You do this every fucking time
No sweat (no tears) no guilt
Not even salt can make your hands taste good
I'm still crunching your lifeline
Lifeline, lifeline, lifeline,
Blood fills your palms,
Lifeline, lifeline, lifeline
Blood fills your palms,
Lifeline, lifeline, lifeline
Blood fills your palms,
Where's your respect? (Where's your respect?)
Why bite the hand that feeds you
It's not over yet(not over yet)
Plenty more fingers for you to nibble
I'd like to see you get your teeth round this
I'm sure your jaw will sorely be missed
Not even salt can make your hands taste good
I'm still crunching your lifeline
Not even salt can make your hands taste good
I'm still crunching your lifeline
You do this every fucking time
No sweat (no tears) no guilt
You do this every fucking time
No sweat (no tears) no guilt
Do this one more time and I'll bite your fucking fingers off!!

Over the weekend Shug and I had the opportunity to hang out with his two little sisters, 13 and 9. They are as bright and lovely as can be, but also very, very, very bored with everything about five minutes after we arrive/make a plan/choose an activity.
To combat this killer boredom, I bought a pom pom maker so the girls could make holiday wreaths to bring home to Shug's and their mom. It was the BEST IDEA EVER. We made pom poms for ten hours straight, only breaking for hot chocolate and the parts of Labyrinthwhere David Bowie dances in his tights.

Wedding Crashers, Vince tied up to the bed when a 2nd unwanted guest comes in
Tomorrow is my favorite holiday. I wake up, dry of my brined Heidi's Hen Turkey, turn on the parade and listen to my children playing with their Grandparents and Uncles. It's the best! As a former chef I relish spending the day cooking. My Mom and I start planning the menu early in the month (usually collecting my favorite foodie mags for new ideas). But the Best thing about Thanksgiving? It is a day we get to reflect on all we are thankful for. For me that is a long list. I hope you have a fantastic holiday, and eat lots of turkey!
