Decor Your Special Event to Life

Event decorations are usually eye catching as to bring attention  or a visual charm to your event.  The type of decor you use will depend on the type of occasion.  When choosing your colors or putting together the decorations, you should think about the reason you are having the event in order to achieve the look you are going for.

Decorating your event does not mean that you have to deplete your account.  You can achieve a variety of looks without spending a lot of money.

You can accomplish a great look by using a variety of lighting.  

Dim the lights or use up-lighting for a soft look and/or to change the coloring in the room.

Create a visual draw with the linen you choose, it can say it all.

A simple setting can be pleasing to the eye with draping and imagination.  

Always think about the type of event and what you want to relay

when choosing your tablescapes.

RSVP Etiquette Importance

RSVP, Repondez s'il vous plait: a french phrase that means "respond please".

There is nothing more uncomforting than to plan an event only to be unsure about the number of guests attending.  No matter how much RSVP information you have on the invite people just don't do it.

When you choose not to answer the RSVP the host/hostess is put in a bind.  Are you attending or not?  If an RSVP is required that usually means there are arrangements to be made that will be determined on the number of guests.  Not responding can cause the host/hostess to overspend.

With the dominance of technology, hosts have become creative on ways to RSVP.  There is always and probably will remain the traditional paper form, you have email, and now the ever popular telephone RSVP.  Even if you do not plan on attending, in many cases, it is always nice to let your host know.

1.  Always respond to the invitation in the manner in which is indicated.
2.  Respond promptly.  Most RSVPs have a respond by date.
3.  If you replied yes please show up, if you did not reply do not show up.
4.  Always be thoughtful of the host/hostess that is giving the event, they are "counting" on your reply.
