Tip of the Day – New Year’s Eve Updo
If you’re attending or hosting a New Year’s Eve party and getting your hair done for the special event, take a peek at this beautiful updo. It’s a little messy and incredibly sexy. You’ll definitely find a man to kiss when the clock strikes 12! I love the sparkly little stars accenting the updo.

Sparkling Cupcakes
If you want to save money by skipping the traditional wedding cake, consider serving sparkling cupcakes. Many cupcake recipes allow you to make the little cakes over a month in advance and freeze until ready to use. You’ll just have to whip up the icing the day before and add some sparkle.

Saturday Feature – Ask April

Danielle’s Question: My fiance and I can’t find wedding favors that aren’t cheesy or too expensive. Do we have to give our guests wedding favors?
April’s Question: There are some people who think that you shouldn’t have to give wedding favors, because you’ve already paid for your guests to eat and drink; however, there are others that believe you should make the effort to give favors, because it shows your appreciation. Some of your guests have spent money and time traveling and money on lodging for your wedding. If you can’t find favors that you like, you could always donate to a charity that you want to support and leave small notes at every guest’s place setting letting them know that a donation has been made in their names.

Tip of the Day – Confetti and Noisemakers
Now that Christmas has come and gone, you need to start thinking about New Year’s Eve parties. If you’re hosting a party, consider passing out trays of confetti and noisemakers a few minutes before 12 for a big ruckus – just remember that you’ll be doing quite a bit of cleaning the next day.
