Got Moo?

Moo.com is an awesome place to print out postcards, business cards, and yes, stickers. Who doesn't like Stickers??

Each of the products can be printed with multiple images for one order. Some products can even have up to 100 pictures per order. They have an easy upload process that can link to Flickr, Facebook, and Etsy. You click on the website option for your photos, and the program grabs pictures from these sites, and lays them out for easy selection.

This is an amazing site. Use the products for favors, showers, invites, thank-you cards, or other creative ideas.

Here are a few pictures and ideas to help you get inspired (all from moo.com)

Vendor Rave: The Traveling Photo Booth



I'm working with the guys from The Traveling Photo Booth, and they are excellent in handling communication that really feels personable. Any questions you might have concerning the booths, the packages, or just in general, they're more than willing to spend time with you on the phone to discuss it.

I've met some of the reps at the wedding fairs and local events. While there, my fiance and I were able to test out the photo booth. My fiance was skeptical at first, "Do we really need to spend the money on this reception extra?" Once in the booth, and strip in hand, he was hooked!

The TTPB offers really fun additions to the booths themselves, including prop kits, new acrylic frames, a guestbook, and thank you cards with your favorite strip.
I definitely think this vendor is worth the money. Your guests will have a blast, and can even log on after your event to view their shots. For more info: Check them out here! (photo from TTPB website)

Happy St. Patty's day!

St. Patrick's Day is one of my favorite holidays. My mother is a red-haired, freckled faced cutie, named Maggi, go figure. You can only imagine that I've always had a good time wearing my green and celebrating my Irish heritage.

Here are some fantastic ways to incorporate Irish traditions into your wedding.

Claddagh Ring - This ring is normally handed down from mother to daughter that can be used as both betrothal ring and wedding ring. The crown is worn inside towards the wrist during the engagement, and the opposite upon marriage.

Horseshoe - Carried with the bride for good luck. While older traditions allowed for a real horseshoe, there are more stylish(not to mention smaller) options available. Make sure to keep the U facing up in order for all the good luck not to spill out. My sister carried a horseshoe charm attached to her bouquet. I plan to do the same.

Handfasting - This tradition is where the term "tying the knot" came from. The couple would be bound for a year to see if they could stand each other for that long. Now, a cord is tied around the couples hand during the ceremony to demonstrate the tradition.

Guestbook Idea

Here is an awesome idea from a bride on The Knot. A guestbook that is not so typical: The You+Me book. Inside you'll find quotations on true love. You can find this little treasure from the Urban General Store, and for a great price too.
