WHAT TO PACK: WEDDING DAY EMERGENCY KIT

11/12/2021

0 Comments

 
It is getting cooler here in Central Pennsylvania, and I just love a good Fall wedding! I don't mind when the temperatures start to decrease and the earth begins to sleep… it means that snow is coming soon too (which I LOVE). It also means sledding for my two little ones (they're three and five currently - this is a very big deal).

And for fall couples, we’re getting close to wedding crunch time – those last couple of months before the big day that are filled with details and last minute DIY projects. If you're asking yourself: What should I bring to my wedding, I've got you covered below!
​

As you finalize your preparations, think about packing a wedding emergency kit for the day of. You never know what may come up, and trust me, you’ll want to be prepared for anything and avoid having a sweet friend or bridesmaid run to the store for you. What if you get sick at your wedding? What if your dress rips? What if mosquitoes unexpectedly attack? What if it rains on your wedding day? What if your feet start to hurt?

To help, I created this handy little list of wedding day survival kit items that you can throw in your bag. So if wedding day disaster strikes, you’re ready!

WEDDING DAY ETIQUETTE DEMYSTIFIED

11/11/2021

0 Comments

 
So many time-honored “rules” surround weddings. Can I tell my guests what to wear? Should I tell my guests to leave their phones in their pockets? Do I need to invite all the kiddos in the family?

Today I'm exploring the reasoning behind and need for some of this traditional wedding etiquette mumbo jumbo. Of course, these are suggestions, and sometimes rules are meant to be broken, but they act as great guidelines should any questions come up.

Below, I will answer the following tricky questions:
  • Should my wedding guests have a plus one on the invitation?
  • Do I have to invite kids to my wedding?
  • Wedding dress codes
  • Should I give my wedding guests my registry information?
  • Is it okay for my wedding guests to RSVP online?
  • Do I need to include my parents' names on the wedding invitation?
  • Do I really need an inner and outer envelope for the invitation?
  • Should I include postage on the RSVP envelope for my guests?
  • Do I have to give my guests directions to my ceremony and reception?
  • Do I need to greet my wedding guests after the ceremony?
  • Is it okay to ban cell phones from my wedding ceremony or reception?
  • Do I have to send thank you cards to my wedding guests? Is it rude to skip thank you cards?

Relax, and let’s dive in! ​

September Business Newsletter: Words of Wisdom

9/7/2021

Words of Wisdom

My grandpa always used the phrase, “This too shall pass.” It’s an old adage that feels almost biblical, and several of my family members have taken to using it. I’ve had to take that mindset lately when several hurdles seemed to be presenting themselves all at the same time. My daughter became sick and had to be held from daycare for several days. Our washing machine broke and leaked water everywhere. We canceled a weekend trip to my husband’s family cabin because of bad weather. And in the “busyness” of the week, I missed harvesting some produce from my garden, and it spoiled.

These may all seem like minor inconveniences in the scope of things, but in the moment, they feel like anything but. However, so much good came out of this week. The canceled trip led to a surprise date night. I got extra snuggle time with my baby girl. The weather cleared enough for an impromptu boat ride with family. We spent a rainy afternoon together processing tomatoes into sauce. And fingers crossed, there will be a newfound pride in changing out a broken washing machine drain pump all by ourselves.

In life & in business, obstacles are often thrown our way. This is a given. The challenge is not only overcoming those obstacles, but also in seeing the opportunities they represent. At Freebird Paperie, one of the assets I bring to you is the ability to look at your obstacles from a different perspective. If September is throwing some challenges at you, remember that “this too shall pass.” And please reach out if those challenges could benefit from a new perspective with Freebird Paperie!

Hot Off The Press

Every business would like for their stationery needs to be “no fuss,” but for the Snyder County Probation Department, it is especially important that their paper products are professional, up to date, and there when they need them. Freebird Paperie provides business cards, letterhead, and envelopes that match the department’s needs. Whether they experience personnel changes or place rush orders, I work to make sure they don’t miss a beat.

    ABOUT EMILY

     ​
    ​I genuinely enjoy helping people and finding creative solutions to problems. I love learning about your life and truly try to avoid small talk. I would rather jump right into learning about your favorite book, your best IPA recommendation, or why you decided to move to rural California on a whim. Hearing your love story or your excitement for the business you are starting up makes my heart swell, and it is my honor to play a small part in this current chapter of your life.
