As we are all putting on our out of office notices and phone messages, and getting ready to spend some much deserved time with our families, we can't help but think of the families in Newtown that aren't able to do that this season. Our hearts broke completely last week with the news of the absolute horrific events that took place at Sandy Hook Elementary School, and they continue to every day as more news, pictures and details are released. We don't think this pain will go away anytime soon, and the overwhelming feeling of being helpless took over, so we decided to try and offer some help in any way that we can.  
 
We have decided that since January is our largest month for signing weddings and events, that we will be donating a portion of all weddings and events signed from Jan 1st-31st to the families affected by the tragedy. We know it isn't much in the grand scheme of what these devastated families are going through, but we wanted to give something to show how much we hurt along with them. 

We hope that you are all able to enjoy the holidays a little more this year, and hug your loved ones even closer.  
 
Peace to all, 
The Dream A Little Dream Events Team

We realize not everyone has a planner for their wedding, and need to do some of the back-end research on their own, so here is a great article from Real Simple on some questions to ask your florist to make sure nothing goes un-answered or miss-communicated on your wedding day!

Still need Christmas cards that don't suck? There's still time if you order from Tiny Prints by tomorrow. That is the absolute last day to use their Super Rush shipping and guarantee delivery by Christmas Day.  
 
Just because you are waiting until the last minute doesn't mean the cards have to be generic or boring. With Tiny Prints, even in the rush, you can take a few moments to personalize the cards. You can upload some pictures, change the font and text, and make your cards stand out, even if they arrive just in time.  
 
If you are giving them in person, you can have them delivered to you so that you can write in them and hand them out. If you are mailing them, you won't be able to write in them, but at least you can have Tiny Prints mail them for you. You can even have some sent to you and some mailed for you.  
 
The clock is ticking...it only takes a few minutes to create and send the perfect cards. Just follow these simple steps: 
 
1. Choose from 100's of Tiny Prints Holiday / Christmas card designs.  
2. Add your photos and tweak the text to your liking.  
3. Use the promo code 20DECSW to save at least 15%.

Happy Holidays! 
 
Cheers,

Winter weddings are close to my heart, since I'm approaching the my one year anniversary of our December 30th wedding last year. Martha Stewart pulled together a great set of inspiration photos for all of you Winter brides out there, and you might just recognize the bride in slide #9! :)
