Crafting a Wedding: Guest List and Seating Chart

The seating chart can be confusing, time consuming and stressful for many brides (and grooms)! Figuring out who to sit next to who can be challenging. Make it a bit less challenging with my system. It worked well for me.

Freezer Cooking for One...For a Month

My new husband is off to med school and I am staying behind because we have a house and I have a job here. Because of this new transition we are 1. Trying to save some $$ and 2. Attempting to not fall victim to the cereal for dinner rut. So to combat my inclination to have cereal, PB&J, or go out for dinner I have gone on a freezer cooking free for all!
I got a variety of recipes off pinterest and arranged them into a nice and neat table. I also divided them between my meals and my hubby's meals because he likes a lot more diverse food then I do.

One Important aspect of the wedding planning process is the organization of everything. For mine I made a spiral bound book and also kept all the receipts and contracts in my binder and carried it around just about everywhere.

Crafting a Wedding: Chuppah (Wedding to Married life)

My now husband was put in charge of crafting the Chuppah for the wedding. I came out wonderfully once you don't think about the amount of time I spend nagging him to get it done. Also, the comedy of errors that we should have recorded of my hubby and I attempting to build it in our backyard so we cold test drive the fabric.

Thanksgivukkah Menorah

For those who do not know this past Thanksgiving coincided with Hanukkah and inspired my family to create a lot of cross-overs with decor and recipes.

Crafting a Wedding: Programs and Confetti

For the wedding I crafted a lot of items mostly because I knew what I wanted and couldn't find it otherwise (or it was way too expensive). I made my programs and bags of confetti for throwing at the end of the ceremony.

This year we actually have a house and are not traveling for the holidays since my parents now live like 5 minutes away. Because we aren't usually home for the Christmas Holiday we don't really have any Christmas decorations. I went to stores to find some but I could not find anything that I liked (that wasn't super expensive) so I had to make my own.
