Happy Thursday my friends! here are a few fun wedding facts I wanted to share.

-> The longest recorded wedding lasted 91 years and 12 days
-> Ending the ceremony with a kiss because, according to ancient Rome, the kiss is a legal bond that seals the contract
-> The practice of dusting the wedding aisle with flower petals is a fairly literal metaphor. Flower girls throw flower petals for the bride to conjure up a sweet and plentiful wedded life.
-> Back in the times of chivalry, the groom would have to keep his sword hand free to fend off competing suitors. We suspect that this is one of those bridal traditions that have evolved over the years, which is now the practice of the officiant asking if anyone objects to the union.
-> Something Old and Something Blue is still used today, but few realize the symbolism. The first is meant to keep the couple connected with their roots and forefathers. The latter is the embodiment of love, purity, and fidelity.

The Pros and Cons of an Outdoor Weddings

Pros:

1.) Natural Light: Natural lighting makes for gorgeous photos.
2.) Beautiful Settings: What could be more beautiful than mountains, lakes, forests, and fields?
3.) Space Constraints: It’s much easier to spread out when you aren’t in a confined space.
4.) Lower Decor Costs: With the beauty of nature as your main decor, you can go as big or as small as you’d like.
5.) Kid-Friendly: Children can get a little antsy sometimes. It can be easier to keep them entertained outdoors.
6.) Relaxed Environment: Not only is it gorgeous, but the beauty of the outdoors can offer a much less stuffy environment than you get inside.
7.) Natural Wildlife: You never know what you’re going to see! Maybe there will be birds, turkeys, bears, etc. If you love wildlife, the outdoors is definitely for you.
8.) Wind: The wind can create beautiful movement for photos.
9.) Less Expensive: Many outdoor venues are less expensive because they have less overhead.
10.) Safer and Easier for Social Distancing: With COVID-19 and the necessity to remain 6 feet away from anyone you don’t live with, it can be much easier to keep your distance in the outdoors. Plus, no recycled or stale air so you don’t have to worry about the virus lingering in the air.

Con:

1.) Weather: It can be difficult to predict the weather which means you could be dealing with rain, snow, heat, etc.
2.) Rain Plan: If it rains, what are your options?
Possible Distractions: The outdoors can be more difficult to control than the indoors. There might be odd noises like vehicles honking in the distance, and you never know when a random animal will show up to say hi.
4.) Rental Costs: Depending on whether or not the venue provides seating, a rain tent, etc., you might be required to procure rentals that some indoor venues would provide for you.
5.) Bugs: Depending on the time of year, you might be dealing with mosquitos, ticks, or other assorted creepy crawlies.
6.) Seasons: Depending on where the venue is located, you may not be able to have a wedding in the winter because of the cold or in the summer because of extreme heat.
7.) Allergies: Do you have allergies? There are certain parts of the year, you might need to avoid so you don’t have watery eyes and a runny nose.
8.) Restrictions: You may think it would be easy just to go to the park and perform your wedding there for free, but many public places also have restrictions and regulations that you will have to work around.
8.) Sound : Sound doesn’t carry outside the way it does inside so guests far away may not be able to hear well.
9.) Utilities: Some outdoor facilities don’t have utilities available.

What makes a successful Birthday Party for a child?

Here are 7 Elements to a successful Children's birthday party.

1. Cake. A birthday party without singing Happy Birthday over a cake aglow with candles just doesn’t seem complete. This is an absolute must for any birthday party. It doesn’t have to be cake if the birthday child doesn’t like it. This ritual can also be done over a pie, ice cream cake or other favorite dessert as well.

2. Theme. Planning a birthday party around a central theme is just easier to pull together. It can be a favorite color, character, activity, or animal and will give you the basis for everything in the party.

3. Games. Trust me that a party will run smoother when you have activities to entertain your guests with. Plan on having 3 games to play with a fourth one as a backup. You can also play the most popular game again if you still have time. A piñata is a perennial favorite party game, or if your budget can swing it, getting a bouncy house or trampoline will make your kids party the talk of the school yard.

4. Decorations. Balloons and streamers are the perfect accompaniments for a birthday party. Get ones that match your party theme and hang them everywhere. They are usually very inexpensive so you can afford to use many of them. Reusable wall clings, personalized banners, and table centerpieces are also popular items to decorate with right now.

5. Favors. Usually passed out as your guests are leaving, this is a nice way to thank your guests for attending. It doesn’t have to be a large or expensive item.

6. Presents. No I don’t mean there should be a huge pile of them. I do think that you should always unwrap presents at the party. There is a trend lately of saving the unwrapping for when everyone has gone home. I understand some of the reasons for doing so, but part of the delight of giving a gift is seeing the recipient unwrap it.

7. Thank you notes. This is an item for after the party is over. While your child should always thank each of their guests in person after opening presents, etiquette and common courtesy still dictates that a handwritten thank you note is required. A hand colored thank you note is a great alternative for a younger child.

If you have all 7 of these elements at your child’s birthday party, then your guests are sure to have a wonderful time. It will also be a party that your child will long remember.
