DONATING MONEY IS GREAT-JUST DON’T BE TAKEN FOR A FOOL Why oh why are some couples in such a rush to get married? I recently stumbled up a few wanted ads on a popular buy and sell group where someone was asking for wedding donations. Along with the request for cash this person offered an address so willing strangers could stop by with the cash. Porch drop-off only I bet. Money has many faces and for those who go looking for it without lifting a finger except for typing ‘Money Wanted Ads’ risk put themselves in danger when strangers are invited by to drop off cash. Consider for a moment that this couple has money and doesn’t want to use it. They could be testing the online waters to see how many dummies are out there that would give them money. This can be a horrible situation however so don’t put it past anyone to scoop up cash from generous people and for other reasons than what was explained. On the other hand the couple could legit be broke and in need of wedding donations so they can walk down the aisle with little to no debt. If that’s […]

How To Hire The Right Caterer For Your Next Event : The Grocery Game Challenge 2016 #2 Sept 12-18
THERE’S LOTS TO THINK ABOUT WHEN HIRING A CATERER. I’m a guy who loves to cook but for smaller crowds. If you asked me to cater an event there’s no way I’d keep up because I simply can’t handle the stress of knowing I might mess up. This is where hiring a caterer comes in handy. The catering business is a big business all over the world because food is love and when there is a special event the caterer is there to ease the stress of the day. Catering is a hard-core business with competition fighting for top spot to take charge of your event. Over the last month I’ve received 2 emails from fans asking me about budgets and catering events they were planning so I thought I would address how to hire the right caterer and some budgeting tips. There are two types of caterers In-house or On Premises Catering (Food is prepared in-house) Off-Premises Catering (Food is brought in) The only reason catering may not be an option for your event is because of a low-budget or availability. Catering comes with a price tag similar to getting restaurant service or fast-food. You get what you […]
How To Save Money Buying Fresh Flowers
The Power Of Flowers Is Priceless From roses and tulips to orchid’s and pansies, flowers have a powerful way of brightening someone’s day. Whether you are celebrating an anniversary, a birthday or you just simply want to make someone smile, the beauty and fragrance concealed in a single flower can easily turn a bad day into a better one. As with many gifts, unless you are pulling flowers from your garden, gifting flowers to someone will cost you some money. How much money you will spend…that is your choice. Flowers ARE for everyone As we all know, Valentine’s Day is the biggest sales day of the year for most florists. Showing others that you care does not need to be limited to your significant other or to only one day a year. Flowers are often sent to family and friends who are grieving the loss of someone, a way of saying congratulations or simply just to make someone feel better. Another massive event is a wedding and just about every wedding has flowers so it’s important to do your homework when searching for the perfect flowers to showcase and for your wedding bouquet and bridesmaid bouquet.

Fondant Fancies- Iced Sponge Cakes
FANCY UP ANY HOLIDAY OR SPECIAL OCCASION This year for Christmas and New Years I wanted to make a few fancier smaller cakes so I decided to make Fondant Fancies. Fondant Fancies are individual sponge cakes also known as French Fancies back in the UK and Ireland where they were introduced in 1967 under the name Mr. Kipling. Mr Kipling is a brand of cakes, pies and baked goods marketed in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It was introduced in May 1967 (at a time when cakes were more often bought from local bakers), to sell cakes of a local baker’s standard to supermarkets, and grew to become the United Kingdom’s largest cake manufacturer by 1976- WIkipedia Related: Nicola’s Cinnamon Meringue Petit Fours These fondant fancies are small bite size sponge cakes that have marzipan on the top then covered in fondant icing. You can also drizzle icing designs on top of your fondant fancies to help distinguish what type of cake it is or what is inside the layered sponge cake. The great thing about the Fondant Fancies are that they are bite-size and you can be as creative as you’d like with them for any occasion. […]
Couple Cancelled Wedding and Used $3000 Stag Party Cash For Debt
EVERY GOOD PARTY HAS AN ENDING Unfortunately for this guy his stag party ended with excitement but his wedding never brought him to the alter. Every year couples get married but before the big day they may hold a party to raise money for the wedding. Some people are against being asked to participate in funding a wedding by attending a Stag Party (for men), Hen Party (for women) or a party for everyone also known as a Stag and Doe or Jack and Jill. There are no shortage of names for these kinds of money-raising events which consist of lots of drinking and plenty of fun games. That’s only the first stage because there may also be a wedding shower, Bachelor Party, Bachlorette Party and so on mainly orchestrated by the wedding party, family or friends. Some pre-wedding events are merely just getting out for the last time as a single male or female and partying with your friends. Personally I didn’t go out with my mates or have a Stag Party. My wife and I were pretty low-key about our wedding and saved the money ourselves, although it was a frugal wedding to begin with. A Stag […]
