Is an Unplugged Wedding Right for You?

Posted on February 4, 2016May 30, 2017 by Peloponnesus

Many of the advancements made in technology over the last 10 years have greatly affected society and how people live their lives. It is not uncommon to see cell phones in the hands of all ages and during all occasions. However, the convenience and enjoyment that comes with owning a smart phone also comes with a price: decreased attention span, addictive behavior, and many missed special moments.

The trend of “unplugged weddings” began as most trends do — with celebrities. While some have simply wanted additional privacy, others have sold exclusive wedding photos to popular tabloids and other publications. Even if you aren’t planning on making a large profit off of your professional wedding photographs, it is still a good idea to consider having an unplugged wedding.

Top 10 Gifts for Your Boss

Posted on October 16, 2015May 30, 2017 by Peloponnesus

Many people think it’s tacky to give your boss a gift. They say it makes you look like the office suck-up. Still, there are occasions when a gift is appropriate. You could be having an office romance with the boss, you could need to bribe them for a promotion or extra time off, or you could realize you’ve committed some ghastly work-related mistake and don’t want to get fired.

Your boss won’t expect gifts so they’re likely to view yours with great suspicion and presume you have ulterior motives, which you probably do. Don’t spend a lot of money on the gift or they’ll think you’re overpaid — think of something inexpensive to amuse your boss. Here are some ideas:

1.Make them think by offering them Robert I. Sutton’s book, “Good Boss, Bad Boss”. They’ll wonder which type they are.

2. Many bosses get stressed out from dealing with people like you all day and may indulge in putting golf balls into their waste bin, or partaking of a secret tipple to cope. If you suspect the latter, then a discreet hip flask will show them you know.

3. Alternatively, buy them a bottle of booze for their desk drawer. When your boss’s boss catches them, you may get their job!

4. Sticking with the theme of the over-stressed boss, why not get them a sign that’s marketed as a miraculous stress remedy? Place the sign on a hard surface then follow the simple and concise instructions in the center, which read “Bang Head Here.” Repeat the action until the stress goes away or unconsciousness ensues.

5. Anti-stress toys are useful for the boss’ office. A foam $100 bill is perfect for your boss to take their aggression out on.

6. Homemade heart-shaped cookies are great for romancing the boss.

7. A small, hand-held robot vacuum to clear the mess your boss leaves on the desk is both amusing and useful.

8. If you trust your boss with plants, then choose a mini bonsai garden for them to grow on their desk.

9. A framed photograph of your boss’s favorite employee (you) or of both of you together is a great choice. Of course, there’s no guarantee the boss won’t simply hit it with the $100 foam bill.

10. Finally, what better gift could your boss ever hope to receive than your resignation letter? Make their day and put it into a scented envelope tied with a ribbon.

These are some ideas for gifts to give your boss. Remember, your motives will appear suspect (because they are) and you should expect to suffer mockery from your colleagues, but at least you’ll have a little fun along the way! Our personal favourite are gift boxes from PRESTIGE CREATIONS which come in endless colours and styles.

How to Choose a Memorable Wedding Gift

Posted on September 16, 2015November 30, 2015 by Peloponnesus

How to Choose a Memorable Wedding Gift

A wedding is the ultimate special occasion, and something so wonderful demands an equally great present. Being the guest at a wedding is a great honor, and it is important to choose a gift that expresses both your relationship with the bride and groom and the nature of the celebration.

Choosing a memorable wedding gift is no easy feat. While the bride and groom will no doubt appreciate everything they receive on their special day, they may not remember who gave them what a few years down the line. If you want your own wedding gift to be remembered, you may need to look beyond the registry and find something that is as special as the love you are celebrating.

Make it Personal
Personalized wedding gifts are increasingly popular, and for good reason. Personalized gifts are memorable by design, and a great way to provide the bride and groom with something unique and useful. Our personal #1 wedding gift boxes are silk gift boxes and silk favor boxes featured on Handbag-Asia.com.

An engraved wine chiller and a set of glasses and a bottle of wine labeled with the name of the bride and groom and the date of the ceremony are sure to be remembered long after the wedding is over and all the thank you notes have been written. Giving a personal gift is a wonderful way to show how much you care and how much thought you put into choosing the perfect present.

Make it Special
Your wedding gift will not stand out if it is just like everyone else’s. Twenty years from now the bride and groom may not remember who gave them the gravy boat, but they will remember the thoughtful guest who provided a day of pampering at the local spa or a relaxing couples’ massage.

Giving a special gift that was hand selected for the happy couple is one of the best ways to ensure your generosity will be remembered and appreciated. If you know the bride and groom well enough to be invited to the wedding, you probably understand what they like. Use that knowledge to choose a gift that is truly special.

Every wedding is different, and every couple is unique. The key to choosing a memorable wedding gift is understanding what the bride and groom value. The more you know about their tastes and preferences, the easier it will be to choose a gift they will remember for a lifetime.

Five Ways to Prevent Anxiety During Wedding Planning

Posted on September 16, 2015May 30, 2017 by Peloponnesus

Your wedding day is the most important day of your life. Because of all that goes in to wedding planning, it’s natural to experience some stress; however, if a case of nervous jitters turns into full-blown anxiety, you need to take a step back and make some adjustments. This is especially true if you are prone to getting anxious in challenging situations.

Keep things in perspective.

Your wedding day is very special, but you have to remember that it’s just one day. When you find your wedding planning making you anxious, stop for a minute, relax, and think about what this day represents. It marks the beginning of your life with the person you love. Think about your relationship, the special times you’ve shared, and your dreams for the future.

Eat properly, get enough sleep, and exercise regularly.

There’s nothing wrong with losing a few pounds but don’t sacrifice proper nutrition to lose a bit of weight. No matter how busy you are planning your wedding, get an adequate amount of sleep. In addition, make some room in your busy schedule for exercise; this will release endorphins, those “feel good” chemicals which will help to ward off anxiety.

Set up a budget and stick with it.

Unless you have unlimited funds, you’re going to have to determine in advance how much you have to spend and set up a budget in advance of your planning. Allocate a specific amount for each category. In addition, establish a miscellaneous fund for unexpected expenses. Money can be an anxiety-producing issue while planning a wedding, but it doesn’t have to be if you establish guidelines from the outset.

Don’t try to do everything yourself.

This is your wedding and you want things done your way; however, that doesn’t mean you have to do everything yourself. Delegate some tasks to family members or friends. Assign a couple of people to write out and mail the invitations and track the RSVPs. Once you’ve decided on the color and style of your bridesmaids’ dresses, let them be in charge of ordering them and taking care of alterations. By the same token, have your fiancé ensure that his best man and groomsmen order their tuxes.

Don’t obsess about perfection.

Nothing in life is perfect, so don’t worry that something will go wrong and ruin your day. If you’re organized and do a good job planning, everything will go smoothly. Remember, however, that there are some things you can’t control. You’re hoping for a great weather, but it may rain the entire day. If something doesn’t go as planned, you’ll just have to improvise. For example, suppose the photographer doesn’t show up. Ask one of your guests who’s a good amateur photographer to take the pictures.

There are a lot of details that go into planning a wedding but getting everything done doesn’t have to send you into a tailspin. Be organized and set up a detailed plan before you get started. Get together with some friends who’ve been through this before. Hearing their stories will help you to relax. Remember that your wedding day is a celebration of the commencement of your marriage; it’s what happens beyond this day that really matters.
