Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day
and a celebration of the life and legacy of a man who brought hope and
healing to America. He spoke one of the most famous words in
American history..."I have a dream".
Let us celebrate the
man, the day and the dream today!
My friends joke with me that when I dream - it
must have a theme as I constantly theme everything!
Our house (African Theme), birthday parties, anniversary's - about
anything I do has to have a theme! Before I got into the wedding
market, I worked in the oilfield industry in marketing. Here I was
to create and promote events for the company - and - yes - you guessed
it - I themed the events.
So...it was no
surprise to my husband, when I
told him we needed to theme one of his websites. He had a
Marketing Reminder website that we took and created a remarkable new
product - the
2008 Marketing & Promotional Calendar.
We are getting huge response
from this theme related product. Just today we got a write-up in
the National Post (to
read the story click here..)
This is a great gift for any
entrepreneur, marketing guru, writer, blogger, etc. as it gives
you tons of different ideas on what to write about or promote for
everyday!
I also got to thinking what a great idea
for weddings!
Sometimes you just can't think of what type of theme
you want to use...or your just lost in bringing together a color you
like? And I think the calendar
has some solutions if you are one of these people such as:
Saturday. June 21, 2008 is Watermelon
Seed Spitting Day - if this happens to be your wedding day - what a
great idea to do your wedding around watermelons. Watermelon is
known as a quintessential treat on hot summer days; they are known as
sweet, juicy, bright and fun so use this context for your theme!
- Your centerpieces are easily done
with watermelons (they can be carved into anything!). Or even just
half them, carve them out and add your flowers.
- Place water fountains around the
venue and put dynamic red food coloring in the fountains
- Your Menu is easily done from
Watermelon Shirley Temples, Watermelon Salads & you can also create
Watermelon Relishes to go with your entree.
- The ideas are endless... in
Unique Theme
Weddings - The Dazzling July 4th - has some great ideas to accompany
this "picnic" type of theme wedding.
OR.....
Saturday, August 9, 2008 is National
Polka Festival Day. Here - I would use Polka Dots for my theme.
