I am Thankful !

Let us give thanks for another year. We here at DeVine Choices would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.

We have so much to be thankful for this year. It is rare that I share personal things about my life here on my blog but I would be remiss if I did not share at least one of the things that I am most thankful about this year.

Last year this time my family was sitting in a hospital room at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center with my 48 year old brother that was recovering from Prostate Cancer Surgery. To date he is still cancer free. What a difference a year make!

This is one of the many things that my family has to be thankful for, Now it's your turn to share!

I will be off for the rest of the week. I am on my way to New Orleans Louisiana to Support those Grambling Tigers as they put those Southern Jaguars in their cage!

Go Tigers!!

Let's do the Twitter!

I was invited by one of my fellow Planners to join the Twitter Group! Of course being the old school Tannie I asked, what in the word is a Twitter. Here is the proper definition of Twitter: "Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?" OK now my definition of Twitter is" A fun way to check in with your friends and see what they are up to min by min if you like! Here is my twitter address and I would love to hear from you! http://twitter.com/devinechoices Join the conversation! Happy Twittering! LOL

A Fairy tale Love Affair

This weekend I had the pleasure of coordinating a real fairy tale love story. It was a fairy tale themed wedding, glass slipper, dukes, duchesses, candles everywhere, the whole works. The only thing missing was a horse driven carriage. Instead they rode off happily ever after in a Mercedes Benz! Stay tuned for pictures. I was told by guests that it was very nice and as the story was narrated they sat on tiptoe anticipation waiting to see what was going to happen next! To be honest I have just as much fun planning it as they had see it unfold. DeVine Choices Wedding and Event Planning specializes in thematic weddings. If you are thinking about a Fairy tale wedding or some have called it Cinderella themed wedding here are some of the things we used!

WEDDING FAVORS

I have been asked recently by several brides "what type of favors should we prepare? " My question would be WHY do you want to pass out favors? During the years favors have evolved into things that the guest can use well after the wedding. I remember when I got married several years ago suitable favors were, matches and napkins with the couple name and wedding date printed on them. Today the norm would be candy/popcorn buffets, or nice trinkets to remind your guest of your special day. I have browsed cyber space and have come up with some neat favors to suggest! Take a look and tell me what your thoughts are? If you have a great idea please feel free to share! My favorite place to find great ideas is the website:http://www.weddingfavors.com/ ,please stop by and shop for your guest favors. Come back and share what you found!

While I try to keep my political views to myself I can't help but share my excitement for our new first family of the United States of America. It is such a joy to see that a hard working middle class family with views that I share are able to represent me and our country in the highest possible positiion in our land. This is what being steadfast and unmovable will do for you. It gives me great pleaesure to introduce our first family of the United States,
