I like organizing parties. To be honest, I’d be happy if my day jo is event planning and management. That would be the perfect business for me but since it’s not a job in demand where I live, I have to content myself with planning parties for other people.
Among my friends and family, I am always the one assigned to organize bridal showers, baby showers, birthday parties and the like. If you have just been asked or you’ve volunteered yourself to organize a girlfriend’s bridal shower without thinking about it then you’ve come to Our One Heart at the right …read more

I am not advocating that you go get roaring drunk at your friend’s bachelorette party or at your sister’s wedding. I’ve never gotten drunk at any weddings I’ve attended. I did get munted at my own hen’s night but not someone else’s. I don’t get wild when I’m drunk. I get sleepy! LOL
I don’t want to miss any of the action at a wedding or a bachelorette party I go to so I do keep my drinking in check. However, if there are times you can’t help getting drunk then you would need some hangover cures!
Here are my top 10 …read more

I’m planning a bridal shower for a good friend of mine and I’ve been looking for reasonably priced bridal shower favor ideas and I found this one. It’s the miniature chair placecard holders where you don’t only use it as a placecard holder but also as a shower favor. Cool eh?

Are you hosting a bridal shower and can’t think of what to serve at the party? There are heaps of finger foods you can serve but of course it depends on the theme of your party and the kind of food that the guests will eat.
Some of the most populat bridal shower party food include:
1. cupcakes — instead of having one large cake for the shower, why don’t you consider a small tower of cupcakes?
2. Chocolate fountain – I served this at the last bridal shower I hosted and boy, it was a hit! You can use any fruit, pretzels, …read more

I’m not surprised that Kendra does not want a Bachelorette Party. Living in the Playboy Mansion for the last couple of years must have been a 24/7 party!
But even so, if I was her, I’d still want a hen’s night. Just for the fun to be with my girls. I had 5 bachelorette parties hosted by various groups of friends and a more conservative bridal shower hosted by the female members of my family.
The former Playmate has no plans for a raucous female-only bash before her wedding and instead plans to celebrate jointly with her American football star fiance Hank …read more

If you are hosting a bridal shower that includes guests under the age of 21, there are still things you can do that do not require a trip to a bar! If I was hosting it, I’d choose to do either of the following:
1. Day Spa – you can arrange for everyone go to the spa for a day or relaxation and massage! You don’t have to be over 21 to get into a spa
2. Rock climbing – my daughter and I have been going with a group of fab ladies to a local climbing centre and it’s …read more
