Babies-R-Us

The Stork is Coming

            Lately it has been all about weddings, but im here today to show you a little bit more about what we do at A Memory Lane Events. Showers; for both baby and bridal, today it’s going to be all about the babies though. We love to get together and gossip and talk all about the upcoming arrival of the little bundle of joy, but few of us really get into the silly games.

            Especially for the working women it is hard to find the time to take out of your busy schedule to have a shower, and even harder for your friends planning it to work around that schedule. I want to give you some tips on how to plan the perfect baby shower over a long lunch.

            Simplicity is key. You only have around an hour to accomplish everything. As for decorations, make them functional as well. A great idea I ran across was using clothes pins, it adds a rustic touch but with the right add-ons it can look adorable. For instance add socks, onsies, bibs, small stuffed animals, and other necessities the expectant mother might need. So at the end of the party she can take them all home with her. Not only do they add ambiance to the event but they become useful afterwards.  

            Centerpieces made easy. There is no need to go all out for floral bouquets that are most likely to go unnoticed. Make them fun and a statement that will be sure to get everyone talking. Use old or new baby bottles as vases to hold a small cluster of bright flowers. To make them extra special, try to find glass bottles, plastics will work just as well and still give the same idea, but glass does add a touch of elegance.

            Make ahead menu is the perfect option, especially if you are on a budget. Choose items that will travel well, hold well and require very little assembly before the party. Be sure to wrap them carefully and store properly until serving time. And store in separate dishes they will be served in. You can easily do this for the drinks to, bring them in a travel pitcher to insure safe traveling. But this can be great to have a variety of beverages that would otherwise not have been possible to make in the limited amount of time. Such as Bellini’s, mimosas, sparkling wine, and don’t forget the non alcoholic drinks for the mom-to-be.

Testimonials from brides who attended last year

"I attended Spring 2010 Bride’s MBA Wedding Planning 101 conference.  Jennifer is fantastic.  Not only does she tell you the truth, but gives you ton’s of ways to save money and what to watch out for.  Knowing in advance what to look for in vendor and the location contract saved me $2000 right in the first three weeks after the conference.  In addition, all of the wedding professional savings allowed me and my fiancé John to have better quality professionals help us and allowed me to stop stressing over the little things.  It saved several fights between me and my sister and my mom.  Then to cap it all off we were able to add an additional week to our honeymoon in Hawaii.  I wouldn’t dream of planning a wedding without Jennifer’s help!”  Amie Koalenz

 “My finance and I attended Spring 2010 Bride’s MBA Wedding Planning 101 conference together.  Jennifer has a great sense of humor and kept us all laughing the entire time.  In addition, she gave us help and affordable ideas that really allowed both of us to have our personalities show through the entire day.  She saved us ton’s of cash and the guest speaker wedding professionals for everything from the dress to the honeymoon gave us discounts and bonuses that saved us $2,400 and before we even left the conference 80% of our wedding was in place.  Everything that she taught us came into play and our wedding day was fantastic.  I can’t imagine why everyone doesn’t plan their wedding this way.”  Stacy and Tim Harding

“My partner and I came to Jennifer’s fall 2010 Bride’s MBA Wedding Planning 101 conference.  It was truly an amazing experience.  She made us feel so comfortable and was obviously more concerned with how we wanted our wedding day than any of the five planners that we had met with before we attended the conference.  Frustrated we decided that we’d try it on our own even though we didn’t know what we were doing.  We saw Jennifer’s conference on the internet and decided that we’d attend to get the help we needed and do it all on our own.  Before the first day was over, we both decided that we had to have Jennifer help us one on one with our wedding.  She saved us so much money, frustration and fights… truly a pleasure and her and her staff are so fun and personable. “ Kelly Ramirez and Ashley Summer.

“I couldn’t attend the conference last year, so I sent my mom instead, since she was in Denver and I was in New York for work.  Mom came back to me with so many fabulous ideas that Jennifer shared and with the easy to use workbook and the copy of the DVD I was able to fill in the things that my mom missed.  It’s a ton of information in a short amount of time.  After all Jennifer is sharing over 20 years of experience with us in 12 hours.  But I loved the fact that she still made you feel like you are the only one in the room and the fact that no matter where you are in the planning process, she’s able to answer your questions.  Brides who were just beginning the planning were able to hear where other brides were stuck and not fall into the same problems.  Brides who we’re further along in the planning, but got stuck, Jennifer was able to tell them how to become unstuck.  It’s truly amazing to see such a master at work and still be so fun to watch, listen to and be so personable.

I saved at least $4,000 because I didn’t get trapped into any of the problems that I heard about from other brides and because I was able to get the information as to what to ask wedding professionals for things like bakeries, caterers and rental companies, I was able to purchase the wedding dress of my dreams and hired Jennifer and her company for the day of.  Additionally, I didn’t have to miss hours of work having to interview vendors or run around town looking for the things that I needed for my wedding.  Jennifer had already given me all of the info I needed and so much more.  I figure I saved myself 30 hours not having to run around, like $1,500 in pay.  Because I already knew her and all of the wedding professionals who were providing services for my wedding, I didn’t get stressed out once and really got to enjoy my entire engagement instead of hating the whole planning process.  I love Jennifer and by the way, my wedding was more than I had even imagined.  Having Jennifer and her team there on the day of my wedding was icing on the cake.  There was nothing I needed to stress over.  Thanks Jennifer, you’re the best!”  Love  Lisa and Dave Martinez
