Fun times at the Circus!


I went to the Shrine Circus tonight with Rick, Brianna, and Erin. It was cool, but not as cool as when I was little. Still fun though. Afterwards Erin and I headed to Sanders and had escargot and a chocolate decadence, which was amazing! Check out the shot of all the kids at the circus with their light sticks.

Destination Wedding Tips

1. Location, Location, Location. When selecting a location, choose one that appeals to your tastes and wedding style. You’ll need to get a good sense about the number of attendees before you choose your event facility so you can be confident that it will be appropriate for the crowd.

2. Less is More. Destination weddings can be expensive not only for those getting married, but also for those attending. Try to be mindful of that when selecting your wedding site so those who are closest to you can afford to attend. Consider having your wedding during the off-season so costs will be lower.

Traditionally, accommodations are covered for the bridal party by the bride’s family for the bridesmaids and by the groom’s family for the groomsmen. All other guests should be responsible for their own expenses. Most hotels will work with you to offer group discounts.

3. Assist your Guests. You may know the location that you will be flying off to for your dream wedding like the back of your hand, but most of your guests will not. Your wedding website can be a tool to help you educate your guests about the area, local attractions, accommodation ideas, the weather and directions.

Making their job easier will only amount in a larger turnout at your wedding. Use your website to remind them of the things they may not consider such as a passport if required for your chosen location.
