Wedding Invitation Kits – Things to Consider When Shopping for Your Invitations

[email protected]_84 , , , , , , ,

One of the most personal and important choices you will make when planning your wedding is your wedding invitation. When you are distracted and dazzled by all of the other happenings going on around you, it is easy to lose sight of exactly what type of invitation you need to choose. This time can be extremely challenging and finding ways to “shortcut” your to do list can often times seem daunting. An option many couples are choosing today is to purchase wedding invitation kits which not only can save you a bundle, but actually make it easy for you to make your own invitations and add that personal touch to your special day.

When shopping for the perfect kits there are some things you need to keep in mind to make it a successful plan for both yourself and your guests.

1. Set aside time to shop. Yes, this may seem like a no brainer but when planning a wedding, nothing is a no-brainer. There is so much on your plate, the time seems to fly by and often things catch up to you in a way you had not planned. So it is important to mark time on your calendar to do nothing but shop for your kits. The internet offers a large array of on-line retailers who offer a large variety of choices of wedding invitation kits and many retailers such as Walmart and Target have a nice variety directly off of the shelf. There are printable kits, diy kits and some are already pre-printed and ready to go, depending on personal preference. If you go the on-line route, remember that ordering early will ensure you get your invitations in plenty of time to add your own special touches and to be sure that they fit the bill. If there is a problem or issue, you will be able to adjust and make changes without causing yourself undue stress.

2. Know your color scheme and type of affair. Once you have set aside the time, make sure you know exactly what it is you are looking for in the way of an invitation. In other words, is your wedding formal and fancy or casual? Is your color scheme pink and white or hunter green and chocolate brown? Knowing these things ahead of time will help tremendously when shopping.

3. Set aside a budget. Although wedding invitation kits are much more budget friendly than professionally printed invitations, you can still spend a pretty penny on the “extras” if you haven’t set aside a dollar amount for the invites. The whole purpose of choosing kits is usually twofold

a). You want to be involved in every aspect of the design, wording and outcome

b). You want to save money and cut costs without losing the beauty and elegance of your invitation

So knowing these 2 things are paramount to understanding exactly what it is you want to spend when starting to shop for your kits. Some things to consider when …

High fashion photographers such as Mario Testino and Eva Mueller may not be as famous as the models they shoot, but they are actually thought out more than their model counterparts by fashion magazines and designers.

Japan – Untapping the Power of Women

[email protected]_84 , , , , , , ,

William Pesek, wrote an interesting opinion piece in the Sydney Morning Herald recently about Japan’s need to embrace its female workforce in order to drag its economy out of economic stagnation.

In the article he noted that Japan (2011) ranks 98th in a World Economic Forum report on the gap between men and women, trailing China, Tajikistan and Zimbabwe.

He goes on to note that in 2012, Japanese women occupy just one in 70 management jobs at Japanese companies and not a single Nikkei 225 company is run by a woman.

For an economy desperately needing to boost its economic output, it seems so blatantly counter-intuitive to simply ignore 50% of its highly-educated population this way.

But when you note that IBM, a foreign multinational operating in Japan, had its first female board member appointed in 1995, its obvious that Japanese women have a long way to go before they reach even the somewhat “average” performance of Australia when it comes to female representation at executive levels.

J-WIN, the Japanese Women’s Innovation Network, is working to help corporates and Japanese women understand the untapped potential they all have in their organisations. J-WIN, and about 40 Japanese women, came out to Sydney recently. Together with NSW Trade & Investment and Women In Global Business (WIGB) we pulled together a program for the delegation to hear from senior women in the public service, major corporates and women who ran their own businesses.

The reaction was truly astounding. These women could not believe how many choices women had in Australia. It broke my heart to hear how many of them, with brilliant minds and energy to burn, could only ever hope to reach lower management and then marry.

It was a very salient reminder, that even in one of the most sophisticated economies in the world, there is a long, long way to go before women are truly equals.

But it is still my strong hope that we will see a generation where it is in fact unremarkable for women to be leaders in any and all walks of life.

I hope we will see a generation where it is unthinkable to label a woman who expresses her opinions in the workplace as “overly emotional” or that a woman who seeks the advice and views of others before making a decision be labelled as “weak”.

Instead, I hope one day there will be a generation of women who have limitless employment choices, where they know they will be judged on their track record and capabilities, not their gender. And where they know and expect their voices, opinions and leadership characteristics will be not only be heard and considered but indeed admired and respected.

For it’s only when we reach this point that our communities, our workplaces and our countries will actually achieve their full potential.…

Asian Men and Black Women – Do Asian Men Like Black Women?

[email protected]_84 , , , , , , ,

Many people enjoy mixed race relationships but often wonder about Asian men and black women. The question is do Asian men like black women?

I am going to share 3 reason why Asian men and black girls work well and why most of these guys secretly love black women. If you are wondering – do Asian men like black women? Then you will have a much better idea after reading this article.

1) Asian men and black women are Attracted Because They Are Different!

The first thing that makes these guys attracted to ebony women is the fact that they are so different. Black ladies enjoy expressing themselves physically in the form of dance, music, poetry and more.

This interests men who are used to a different type of person. Obviously there are always exceptions to this and one would be crazy to suggest all men want black ladies.

2) They Love Their Bodies!

In many cases black girls are gifted with voluptuous bodies that cause sexual attraction. This stimulates Asian guys and makes them secretly desire their curvaceous bodies. Once they are united, Asian guys and black girls are like magnets!

3) They Love their Rebellious Nature!

Many Asian guys find the rebellious attitude of black girls irresistible. This is similar to the need of domination by the opposite sex. The idea of having a strong black lady to challenge their authority makes them highly interested.

Asian guys and black girls are a classic case of opposites attract! the thing that has made this knowledge so secret in the past was the fact that not many Asian guys were not comfortable discussing their desires because it was not the normal way of doing things.

However society has changed and these couples are now excepted and in my opinion look great together! So, Do Asian Men Like Black Women? They answer is clearly yes, Asian men and black women are here to stay!…

9 Most Common Engraving Mistakes and Misconceptions About Engraving

[email protected]_84 , , , , , , ,

Misspelled Name – Always confirm the spelling of names. Do not rely on your memory. So many names have different spellings. Example: Terry or Teri or Terrie and on and on it goes.

Wrong Date – This is the same as the number 1 mistake. Always get it in writing before we engrave it. Remember, engraving can not be erased.

Engraving is like Printing – Wrong! Engraving, we are using diamonds to plow the surface, like a farmer plows his fields. Or we use lasers to burn off a layer of the surface of the engraving material. None of these engraving processes are we adding ink to the surface. Note: There are other engraving processes, but diamond drag and laser are the most common.

All metal surfaces can be engraved – The answer is no. A ruff metal surface is almost impossible to see the engraving. The roughness is competing with the engraving. Also, many metal surfaces, especially gifts, are plated. Most of the time plated surfaces will engrave OK. Once in a while they have bad plating. The bad plating is only uncoated when it is engraved. The bad spot, the plating peels up. This only happens about 5% of the time.

Assuming what you have can not be engraved – We have all received gifts to an award stores only for them to say, "It can not be engraved." They are implying that nobody can engrave it. In reality – They can not engrave it. Many times it can be engraved by another company. One great example is watches. The manufacture loves to put all sorts of markings on the back leaving almost no room for engraving. We get around this by engraving on an arc, many times around the edge.

Engraving is too expensive – Yes, it is too expensive – if you take it to a jewelry store. Most jewelry stores do not engrave. They send it out. The jewelry store and the engraver both need to make a profit. It is best to go to an engraver first. Save some money. Beside, all your concerns can be given directly to the engraver, not passed on through notes from the jeweler.

Lack of engraving choices – Most small awards and engraving places have limited capabilities. Do your research. Ask what the engraving choices are for your engraving job. Ask for testimonials from the engraver's customers. If they do not have any, continue your search for an engraver.

It takes forever to get something engraved – Yes, if you take it to a jewelry store. They have to send it out and the time goes by. Taking your engraving job directly to an engraver cuts out the shipping time between the jeweler and the engraver (both ways). Deal direct!

It can be buffed out and re-engraved – The answer is (yes and no). Solid metals like gold or silver can be buffed out and re-engraved. But most jewelry and gift items are plated. When it is buffed …

Smart Clothing Tips Each Woman Will Appreciate

[email protected]_84 , , , , , , ,

It’s not a secret that women always wish to look attractive and stylish. It does not matter where they go and what they do, they need to feel confident and beautiful. This does not only help them remain in the focus of men’s attention, but also makes it easier to reach the goals they have set. The choice of clothes and accessories to be included into the wardrobe of each woman depends upon many factors, such as her body type, style of clothes she prefers, personal traits of character, age, occupation and what not. However, there are effective fashion tips that will ideally work for each lady, who aims at looking appealing, sexy and gorgeous. Some of these smart tips are provided below.

  1. Old Apparel Never Goes Out of Style!

Do you believe that you should get rid of those attires you have worn for two or three years? Do you think that they are not trendy anymore? If so, then you may be mistaken! Many old things do not go out of fashion and remain trendy for years. Just have a look at the apparel you have in your wardrobe! What clothes seem too old-fashioned to be worn every day? Which of them would you eagerly purchase, if you were in a fashion boutique? These simple questions will help you make the right choice!

  1. Choose the Right Outfit for the Black-Tie Event

Have you been invited to visit a black-tie event? Is your best friend or close relative getting married soon and you don’t know what to wear? Don’t get into despair and take your time to shop wisely! There is no need to buy a luxurious dress for one night only. Instead, give preference to the attire you may put on when visiting holidays and festivities in the future. This will make the purchase both efficient and gorgeous. Don’t forget about suitable shoes, accessories and underwear! These things will make you feel confident and beautiful wherever you go, while proper makeup and hairstyle will contribute to your charming appeal!

  1. Know Your Strong Points

The best way to choose clothes that will really work for you is to know your strong points. One and the same apparel may look differently on two women just because they have different body types. It may take some time to experiment with different types of apparel and accessories to make the best choice, but the result will be worth this time and effort. By knowing your strong points, you will be able to opt for clothes that make you look stylish and chic. Likewise, you will avoid clothes that have negative impact upon your appeal and underline your imperfections.

  1. Don’t Forget About Jeans!

When thinking about your wardrobe, don’t forget about jeans. There are no stylish collections of clothes without this item. You can wear jeans in the everyday life just to feel comfortable. They are a nice choice for a family picnic, a night with your friends, a trip to the forest …

How to Attract Women – Becoming an Instant Chick Magnet

[email protected]_84 , , , , , , ,

Attracting women is a skill that many want, but do not have. Truth be told it is really not as hard as many people make it out to be. The problem is men are usually scared or afraid to try it out for fear of rejection. If they just used it, they would find that more likely than not they would be successful. I like to call this my C and C approach to attracting women.

Confidence and Cockiness are two things that women find irresistible. If you are confident in yourself a woman can see that and will be drawn to that. Put yourself in her shoes, if you were approached by a guy who was wishy-washy and was not really confident in himself, would you want to go out with him? My guess is probably not. There is however a fine line that gets drawn between confidence and arrogance. The big difference is in how you carry yourself. You can be totally confident without making someone feel bad about them selves. This is where arrogance usually lives.

Cockiness is another quality that seems to work with the ladies. It has worked for me and I have used it to perfection. It shows a woman that you are confident and you know that you are a good catch, in a good way, not a bad way. If you can throw in humor into that you have got a home run of a plan going for you. Cockiness is another attribute that you need to watch as well. You walk a fine line with this one as you do with confidence. Come off as being sure of yourself and not that you are better than others and you will come out smelling like roses.

Combined, these qualities can turn an ordinary guy into the guy that the ladies want, the guy that the women flock to and turn their attention on. Stop being the guy that just takes what ever he can get. The whole world is right in front of you. Stop wasting precious time. …
