Open House on Thursday: Come Rain or Shine!

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Just a reminder about the Bridal Open House here at Heather’s Glen on Thursday evening.  We’ll be starting at 6; fashion show in the chapel at 7pm!

Come taste a few selections from our menu, meet with pastry chefs (and taste some of their goodies, too!), and visit florists while checking their creations out.  It’ll be a wonderful night to tour the facility in the evening and seeing what a wedding and reception looks like at night.

Also, there will be TONS of giveaways!  Heather’s Glen looks forward to welcoming you on Thursday evening!

Traditional & Modern Anniversary Gifts

Sunday, October 18th, 2009

Our one-year anniversary came and went!  Sigh…I’m officially no longer a newlywed.  The traditional first year anniversary gift is paper, and the modern gift is clocks.  For those of you celebrating this autumn and winter, here’s the list:

Get creative with these!  At your 45th year, rather than sapphire earrings, what about a bottle of Bombay Sapphire Gin?  Okay, so maybe the earrings would be nice, but gin martinis are, too!  For our one-year “paper” gift, I got my husband a Sunday subscription to the New York Times.  Today is our third Sunday.  I think I’m enjoying the gift a little bit more then he is.  Oh well- I can try harder for cotton next year!

Does anyone have any creative anniversary gift ideas?
