DIY Wedding Invitations and Stationery

Juliet Douglas — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 15:00:56 +0000

Some brides are completely cut out for DIY (do-it-yourself) projects for their wedding. Our May bride Tiffany Soto is one such bride. I received her beautiful wedding invitation in the mail and was so excited to have them in my hands! Tiffany incorporated her eggplant and lime green color scheme with fuchsia accents throughout her Alice in Wonderland mad hatter invitation. She designed the invitation with an eggplant pocket fold, response card and envelope, as well as a fun wedding day timeline and a map!

Besides being a Master Sake Sommelier, Tiffany also runs a scrapbooking company to help out non crafty types. Scrapped 4 You is the name of her company and she creates scrapbooks as well as place cards/escort cards, and customized wedding guest books. I think she can now add wedding invitations to that list too!

I don’t, however, recommend that all brides go the DIY route since it may often cost them more time and money in the long run.

But for those attempting DIY invitations, here are a few DIY tips:

1) Set aside enough time to design and assemble everything. Don’t procrastinate! Designing one invitation might be fun. Assembling 100 becomes tedious after awhile. Be prepared.

2) Recruit your bridal party to help with assembling if needed.

3) Buy extra materials in case you screw things up a few times.

4) Don’t take on too many DIY projects.

5) Have fun!

Sake 101 Revisited

Juliet Douglas — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 18:00:40 +0000

This Wednesday is the day for the 2nd Sake Tasting I’ve put together for fellow event professionals. I’m grateful for Master Sake Sommelier and founder of the North American Sake Institute Tiffany Dawn Soto who will once again be teaching a sake class and introducing us to this Japanese beverage.

I love sake and learning about sake because although it is gaining in popularity in recent years, it is still a beverage that is relatively unknown and intimidating outside of the open minded foodie circle. I think that for the right wedding couple and party, a sake bar can be introduced at a wedding reception on an ice bar that would leave a lasting impression on everyone!

Anyway, here’s Tiffany introducing us to the 6 Sake words we need to know:

Sake Tasting: Sake 101 by Tiffany Dawn Soto

Juliet Douglas — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 15:00:41 +0000

Last Thursday, I had the pleasure of putting an intimate sake tasting networking event together with my good friend Tiffany Dawn Soto. Tiffany is a Master Sake Sommelier and was there to teach a sake tasting class which she had also paired with a delicious reception menu at RM Seafood. She has a special talent of pairing non traditional items with sake. Below is the menu we tasted:

Mini Crab Cakes with Chipotle Mayo
Shrimp Hush Puppies
BBQ Pork Mac and Cheese
Pork Spring Rolls
Miso Glazed Beef Lettuce Wraps

The popularity of sake is definitely on the rise and Tiffany is just the right person for a sake tasting and/or pairing for a Japanese inspired wedding reception menu. Here’s a little video of Tiffany explaining a few sake terms. Tiffany is the founder of the North American Sake Institute and is available for sake tasting and pairings for your next special event!
