Make Summer Eventful


The weather is finally getting warmer and the backyard BBQ season is upon us! Do something different this year with your get-togethers.

a) Choose an unusual menu. Try foods from another ethnic group or a new recipe idea from a friend. Visit http://www.recipezaar.com/recipes/
for cuisine ideas from other continents.

b) Create a Theme Party. Make your party fun and unusual by having an unexpected theme.

c) Be Green. Be sure to reuse, reduce and recycle where possible. The Region of Peel now has an extensive recycling program including its new green organic recycling bin for food waste. Participate in the recycling programs in your area and enjoy an EVENTFUL SUMMER!

Wedding Location

Finding the perfect location for your wedding can be the hardest task of all!

He has finally popped the question. You have the ring, you've announced your engagement, and now....
....and now its time to plan your wedding! But how do start? One of the first tasks is to figure out where you want to get married.
Here are some things to think about when making your decision...

1) Consider the city?- do you want the best of what the big city has to offer or would you rather a quite quaint location in the suburb or the country? Where do most of your guests live? Will this be a deciding factor in choosing my ceremony or reception location? Do you require a big place or a small place? Do you want a huge extravagant wedding or a small intimate one?

2) Do a destination? sometimes the thought of eloping with your sweetie pie is the most enticing idea. Is this a good one for you? Will the most important people to you be able to make it? do you want a hot spot? unique destination? or a destination with historical significance and charm?

3) Take me to the church? do you want to have the ceremony in a place of worship? Or would you rather something completely different? Some couples have chosen boats, planes, parks, backyards, or even skyscrapers as their ideal spot to to tie the knot. In order to determine a great place for you, reflect on who you are as a couple and how your personalities can be best expressed through your ceremony & reception location.

No matter where you choose, find a reputable venue that has professional staff, years of experience and provides superior client service. Ask your wedding planner for places that they can recommend. Once you have found a great place to tie the knot, the rest is a piece of cake! ...or is it....?

LAST MINUTE Mother's Day IDEAS

Here are some UNIQUE Mother's Day IDEAS for those who were just thinking of making that last minute dash to the flower shop!

1) you and mom go for a for coffee together if you have not done so in a long time. Take a long drive to a coffee shop by the lake or in cottage country. Have a good old fashion chat along the way about those childhood memories that make you appreciate her the most.


2) create "clean-your-house" coupons for mother and deposit them in a personalized mother's day card. Offer to redeem a coupon whenever she wants. Then, get your rubber gloves ready to wash dishes, vacuum her house or do any other household chore of her choice.

3) put together a photo collage of pictures you have taken of her and the family. Frame them and add a caption like "collage of love" or "mother's day tribute". Have your collage turned into a place mat or transferred onto fabric to make a commemorative pillow.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

To all the mother's out there, Marcia J and Phenomenal Events wishes you a
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

I am very grateful for my loving mother, strong grandmother and all the "likeamothers" that I have out there. I have been lucky enough to have many women of wisdom take me under their wing and treat me like their own. Here is a photo of my youngest bambino and one of my likeagrandmothers. Be sure to cherish your mother or find a "likeamother" to cherish tomorrow on Mother's Day!
