Thank-You Card EtiquetteWeddings and gifts go hand-in-hand. Couples who are tying the knot can expect to receive scores of gifts, ranging from simple well-wishes to cash to items listed on their registries. Because gift-giving is tradition, couples should plan on spending some time writing thank-you notes to express gratitude to the people who were kind enough to give a gift.
Many couples prefer to order thank-you stationery when they order their wedding invitations. This way the paper, font and style match the original invitations. In addition, it may be less expensive to order stationery as a package.
As to the rules regarding those getting a thank-you, it is just about anyone who contributed in some part to the wedding, even if a verbal thanks was already offered. Anyone who provided an engagement, shower or wedding gift, those who gave gifts of money, anyone who hosted a party or shower, attendants in the wedding, people who may have housed wedding guests, parents of the bride and groom, suppliers and vendors, and employers who have wished couples well should all be included on the thank-you list.
Here are some other guidelines to follow.
• Mail out a handwritten note to each and every person being thanked.
• Do not use form letters or preprinted cards to which you simply add your signature.
• Be sincere in your messages and try to mention the gift and what it will be used for.
• Promptly respond to gifts that were received through the mail so the giver knows they arrived.
• Never mention that you plan to return a gift or exchange it.
• Mentioning the amount of a monetary gift is optional, but it does confirm to the giver that the right amount was received.
• A mass thank-you posted on social media is not adequate.
• Even if you are late with writing out thank-you notes, that doesn’t exclude you from doing so.
By adhering to thank-you card etiquette, couples will ensure their guests know that gifts and efforts to make the wedding special were appreciated.

Don't underestimate the importance of wedding day photography.
L imousines, gowns and flowers are each important components of a couple's wedding day. But few aspects of a wedding are as
important as photography.
Thanks to the popularity of social media, some couples may overlook the importance of hiring a professional photographer for their weddings. Although there is something to be said for candid images captured on phones and personal cameras, the pictures a couple will cherish and look back on for decades are best supplied by a professional photographer.
Even if you will be hiring a videographer and having photos snapped by loving friends and family, professional wedding photography is an ideal way to immortalize this special day. Most couples say "I do" with the hopes of staying together forever, giving them only one chance to capture the magic of the wedding day on film. Leaving photos to chance by hiring an amateur photographer may be something couples regret down the road.
Professional photographers use high-quality equipment that will
The Joy of Being Picture Perfectproduce much better results than photos snapped on the average digital camera. Plus, the photographer has experience with posing, placement of arms and legs, head tilting, and lighting, each of which ensures that the photos come out looking as good as possible. While a friend may not notice an eyesore in the rear of a photo composition when taking a picture, a professional may notice something that will stand out and make adjustments. Furthermore, professional photographers tend to have an eye for interesting angles to capture images that may be overlooked. Rather than a series of portraits at one level, he or she may climb high for aerial shots or lie on the floor for a different perspective. The results may be unique vantage points that set your wedding photos apart from those of the masses.
Price alone should not dictate which photographer to hire. Although wedding budgets are often stretched, skimping on a photography allotment may result in subpar results. That doesn't mean you need to hire the most expensive photographer, but couples should realize the value of experience and professional equipment, both of which tend to come at a premium price. Do not expect to pay package prices that would be offered at department or discount stores. Many photographers are artists who take their work very seriously. A photographer will be spending all day with you capturing hundreds of photos. Each image will then need to be reviewed, repositioned and potentially enhanced or retouched. This time-consuming attention to detail is often what dictates the higher costs of a very good photographer.
While couples are making wedding day magic, photographers are behind the scenes capturing all of the memories couples can relive for years and years to come.

Weddings are a celebration wherein guests look forward to the reception as much as the actual ceremony, and the food served at the wedding is often hotly anticipated.
Wedding receptions feature a bevy of different foods to tempt the palates of those in attendance. From appetizers served during the cocktail hour to the last crumb of cake, food plays a big role in a wedding reception. Choosing foods for a reception can take a little forethought, especially when the wedding party is especially large.
The first rule of thumb is variety. Give guests the choice over what they dine on. During the cocktail hour, couples can savor many different tastes and selections. For those who want to be creative, this is the time to do so. Exotic flavors can be served alongside more traditional offerings that guests recognize.
During the main course of the meal, allow guests a few options. Most catering facilities will offer suggestions in their meal packages. Couples can typically choose to offer a meat dish, a poultry and a seafood. This caters to a wide variety of diners.
Touching on the exotic, Mexican food offers a world of color and flavor. Whether mild or spicy, sweet or savory, Mexican food is certainly a family favorite here in Texas, where it is considered a traditional choice for any special occasion.
MasFajitas Mexican Restaurant has a variety of delicious options for hosting parties or events of any size. Menu’s are custom designed, ranging from a pre-selected menu to an endless variety of options in buffet service. Buffets can be modified to include appetizers, desserts and private bar service. For further information about Masfajitas Mexican Restaurant, please visit their website at www.MasFajitas.com.
Variety is the Spice of Life
Go from basic to glam, in the blink of an eye!
Special occasions and parties crop up over the course of a typical year. Be it weddings, birthday parties or anniversary galas, friends and families often gather to celebrate especially momentous events.
Part of the excitement of these events is donning formal wear or cocktail attire and enlisting the help of beauty experts to look your best for these memorable events. Experienced hair stylists and makeup artists can transform your look from basic to glam in a short amount of time, and women often rely on the professional expertise of cosmetologists to help them create the perfect party look.
Once the decision has been made to use a professional stylist to work on your hair for a special occasion, there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure success. The first step is finding a stylist with whom you will have a good rapport.
Few things can complicate a style further than not being ready for the stylist or using products on your hair that are not conducive to keeping the hair set.
It is advisable to use mousse or hair spray in the hair because they will help set the hairstyle. Avoid the use of hair serums or frizz-fighting oils that can cause hair pins or curls not to hold well.
It can take about an hour to do a hairstyle, and if the stylist is working with more than one person for the party, it is important to be on time for your appointment, or be home if the stylist is coming to you.
At the Edge Salon and Spa in Taylor, you can alwayscount on professional and beautiful styles and color. They also offer hair extensions, highlights and eyelash extensions.

Proponents of marriage may quote any number of reasons why couples should tie the knot instead of living a life of singlehood. A desire to raise children together is one reason many couples wed, but getting hitched might also be better for your health. That’s right, a growing body of evidence has suggested marriage may be beneficial for men and women from a health and wellness standpoint.
Many people joke that getting married removes freedoms that lead to happiness, but researchers find that this isn’t the case. Married men are only half as likely as bachelors and one-third as likely as divorced guys to take their own lives. Wives are also much less likely to commit suicide than single, divorced or widowed women. Married people are much less likely to have problems with alcohol abuse or illegal drugs. An international study of 17 developed nations found that “married persons have a significantly higher level of happiness than persons who are not married.”
There are many health-related benefits to getting married. Men and women about to enter into a new life together can add good health to the reason why they are happy about their upcoming nuptials.

In ~ StyleThe Fall/Winter 2013 Season
Pantone’s Color of the Year: EMERALD GREENClothing styles change from season to season. Each year established and budding new designers call forth their creative energy to entertain the buying public with a bevy of new wardrobe items and accessories.
The Fall/Winter 2013 season is no exception. Borrowing from the past but with a nod for the future, key elements emerged during the runway shows of leading designers in the fashion meccas of New York, Milan and Paris. In addition, Pantone, the standard in design colors, released their predictions of the seasons top color trends for fall and winter. Here's a look ahead at to what should be filling stores and closets in the next few months.
Expect to see plenty of green-hued items this fall. Mossy greens, yellow-based linden green, deep green, as well as Pantone's color of the year, emerald green, will each be in-style this fall.
In addition to various shades of green, expect to see some other pops of color straight out of nature. Exotic reds, acai purple and azure blues are just a few complementary colors that are expected to mix with the fall standards of slate gray and khaki.
There are interesting patterns and color combinations from a number of designers. While fashion-forward shoppers may not see the same level of detail at mainstream stores than they could expect to find at designer boutiques, there certainly may be a sampling of some of the prints and patterns that adorned the runways.
Modernized florals in earthy colors and graphic prints that take their cue from Fair Isle knits and alpine animals were some of the showcased trends. In addition, Eastern European florals and color-blocking reminiscent of Soviet heritage were commonplace. Folk-inspired florals on dresses and jackets also could be seen. For those who want something a bit more amorphous in pattern but with the same punch of color, artistic pastel pops of colors had some designers showing off a watercolor painting effect on some of their lines. Vivid colors paired with bold patterns completed these eye-catching looks.
