It's hard to believe ...

I am proud to announce the re-birth of an old website we used to run: holiday-cards-store.com. A fresh look, exquisite products, easy to navigate. Look for christmas cards, holiday invitations, halloween party invitations, corporate greeting cards and invitations and much more.

I am very excited about this new website. Go and check it out, it's worth it, even if I say so myself and am just a tad bit biased.

Being the perfect groom is... IMPOSSIBLE

No kidding ... Have you ever thought about how your future hubby perceives this excruciating wedding planning process?

Here's a excerpt of the article I recently wrote on our website:

She says: "Do you prefer the Lilac or the Lavender ink for our invitations?"
You think: "I don't really care it looks the same to me."
You say: "I really have no opinion; I'll leave it up to you."
She says: "See, it's always the same with you. You don't care about anything. You don't care about this wedding. You're so frustrating"
You think: "I guess I need to have an opinion, I'll pick one of the colors."
You say: "I guess I prefer the Lilac"
She says: "Why do you like the Lilac better?"
You think: "Oh no, it's not enough to have an opinion about flowery colors, now I have to have a reason for it. I picked one because you wanted me to pick one!"
At that moment you have a strike of a genius and you say something really great like:
You say: "I think your mom would like the Lilac better"
Or
You say: "I think it would match better with the bridesmaid dresses"
She says: "Yes, you might be right... but I really like the Lavender. It is so much more us. Is it OK if we go with the lavender?"
You think: "Why in the world did we go through all of this if she was going to get it her way regardless and I was OK with either option anyways?"
You say: "Of course sweetheart!"
