GLAM'ONDAY ALERT...Lifestyle Etiquette~Getting Back to Thank You...

Thank You... two simple words that seem very difficult for some individuals to say or do. I'm huge on Thank You's. It shows that you go the extra mile for the smallest thing. Often I'm out shopping for the best deals for my clients and on occasion I love to frequent stationery stores to stock-up on note cards, thank you cards as well as stationery paper. Not just any , but the most eye catching GLAM FAB. Of course my way of living is all in the details and that represents just about everything I do. I keep a special organized box that holds just about any card you can think of for special occasions or just because. There's never a need to run to the store if I'm attending a B'Day Party, Engagement Gathering, Bridal Shower or even a Wedding. Maybe you went the extra mile for me and I want to show my appreciation. You got it I'm always covered there.

Getting Back to Thank You... Everyone seems to be in a rush these days and the etiquette on personal correspondence has gone right out the window. I know we all have busy lives , however most have let technology pave the way for them. We often rely on Text, BBM, Twitter, Facebook and occasionally Emails. No wonder many of the Postal Offices are closing down, because majority of us are no longer using. There's nothing more fabulous then showing someone you really appreciated them attending your bridal shower, wedding, baby shower , birthday party; gave you a referral; made the connection for that interview, purchased a gift for you or they just did something special. Let's get back to the proper etiquette of sending a hand written personalized note card or thank you card. You're probably more app to do if you had some eye catching stationery you just couldn't wait to put the pen to.

The 3 W's When, Who, Why... (If you keep the 3 W's in mind you'll never go wrong- Oops that makes 4 W's ~smile:

WHEN: Send your thank you notes as quickly as possible. Typically send within the week after the event or occasion has passed. Depending on what type of event it was ie: Wedding, it can take 2 to 3 weeks especially if you're traveling for your honeymoon, but you shouldn't delay any later than that. A birthday thank you note is of the less formal variety than a wedding or confirmation thank you note, but its timeliness is critically important. Ideally, it should be sent a few days after the birthday.

Notes may be sent on informal stationery, except for wedding thank you notes which are generally sent on formal stationery. drezrehersal Tip... Order your thank you note cards at the same time as your wedding invitations with your return address already pre-printed for you. You can take it a step further and pre-print guests labels from your RSVP list then place the stamp on. WHO: This way all you need to do is personally write a thank you for each guests and drop it in the mail. When personalizing your thank you cards always make specific reference to the gift that is the subject of the note, such as "Thank you so much for the Tiffany Crystal Goblets". We're definitely going to use for our first dinner in our new home as Husband & Wife.


WHY: Even though most thank you notes can be sent on informal stationery, that doesn't mean it's okay to use a piece of paper torn from your child's notepad. Find note cards that reflect your personality, and keep a ready supply on hand. They don't need to cost a lot of money. In fact, if you shop diligently, you can find inexpensive, attractive cards. This is a GLAM'ONDAY ALERT so I know my fashionistas like to always add their personal style. I have something GLAM and FABULOUS for you.
Order personalized stationery note cards, labels and stamps that fit your style. Below are some favorites of mine and they come in a variety of styles & colors. You select the best style for you and your recipient will really be taken back when they receive in the mail. It not only shows your appreciation , but also expresses sincere gratitude, that goes deeper than an email or text.

You Scream I Scream We All Scream for "DIPPIN' DOTS"...

dippin' dots
The Ultimate Party In Your Mouth

So what exactly are dippin' dots? Actually, it's fun to watch "first-timers" expressions when they take their first bite. After overcoming the sight of their ice cream beads "pouring" into a cup there's the look of amazement that ice cream can be "tingly and almost crunchy" It's like a PARTY in your mouth (My words) then the smooth, creamy ice cream begins to melt in their mouth...a super fan is born! It's truly a treat for kids of all ages. And YES even the most sophisticated adult still has an inner child in them.

Answer: Dippin' Dots are made from fresh dairy ingredients flavored with fun, fruity, enticing and even exotic flavors. The mixture is frozen almost instantly in liquid nitrogen, a common element in the atmosphere used commercially for flash freezing. After production, Dippin' Dots are packaged and shipped worldwide.

THINKING OUT THE BOX...
We love creating "FUN" Out the Box events for our clients and honestly they come to us for that not so traditional event. Have a over the top 3'Day Weekend Wedding without the bling price and get all involved including the kiddies.

Ques: What is a 3'Day Weekend Wedding?
Answer: A 3'Day Weekend Wedding can be a destination wedding where you invite those closest to you to share in the most important day of your life. Whether you travel to a tropical island such as Costa Rica, a beautiful beach resort & spa as Bacara in Santa Barbara or choose something local that offers everything you desire for your guests. You can still have your dream wedding without breaking the bank. Not so long ago many of my clients wanted to have an Adult Affair (this means an adult only wedding) All though we offer great tips for our clients should they choose to have the little ones at their wedding, we also offer great alternatives to keep them occupied and off the dance floor., while the Bride & Groom can still have the focus on them, and the parents have a near by sitter for the kids. We are seeing the kids come back into the planning process of the wedding due too many not being able to afford a sitter to attend a wedding much less a weekend wedding. A great location that has it all is Pickwick Gardens located in Burbank, CA. Pickwick Gardens is a hidden jewel and offers your guests all that you could ever need or imagined.

Pickwick Ice Skating: Spend a day of family fun, skating to music and relaxing in the lounge which is equipped with a full-service snack bar and video arcade.

Pickwick Bowling: Pickwick offers 24 synthetic lanes, computerized scoring system, automatic bumper system, fully-equipped Pro-Shop,
 full-size snack bar, full-size bar, and a rockin' arcade.

It's something about Ice Cream that can take what may have been a bad day into that magical no worries'land. It will put a smile on anyones face.
We like our clients to experience what there event will be like.
Close your eyes and let's visit Dippin' Dots land where there are no cares or worries.

the drezrehersal...Lifestyle Lesson's in the Search for Happiness

EAT PRAY LOVE is the HOT new movie for the Summer.  A true story from Elizabeth Gilbert, One woman's search for everything across Italy, India and Indonesia. If you haven't had the opportunity to read the New York Times best selling notable book - then after reading this lifestyle experience, run to your nearest bookstore and purchase it. Don't have time for that-thank goodness for online.

To give you a little insight on what I called an experience, search for true happiness with one self. Elizabeth Gilbert in her early thirties had everything a women could every dream of or want at that age. The so called American white picket fence dream; successful career, husband and yes the American dream of owning your own home- not just any home a country home. That should make anyone happy right? Nope, instead of feeling happy and fulfilled, she was consumed by panic & confusion. Something many women go through at one point in their life. We try to be everything to everyone except the person that counts the most; yourself. I have been blessed too have many wonderful life experiences that can make you or break you. Prior to me starting my event planning business, I had the opportunity to travel some parts of the world and there's nothing more fulfilling then traveling alone across the country. In order to find out just who you are, what you want out of life and then be able to completely give yourself to a mate; you must experience spending time alone. Truly alone.

drezrehersal Tip...Before you take that journey to marriage its so important that you are fully prepared for everything the "Union" has to offer.

5 Things I recommend every women to do prior to marriage.


1. Live alone. This means living completely on your own without a roommate.
2. Travel alone. Solo, just you- No BFF, No Go-to-Girls, No Boyfriend.
3. Eat at a Five Star Restaurant- Yes Alone (Doing something special for yourself, eat till your heart is content-Really Eat, glass of wine, 3 course meal and last but not least dessert-Go for it.
4. Attend a Movie (Laugh, Cry just be one w/ you).
5. Take a Yoga Class-Solo, just you- No BFF, No Go-to-Girls. (Getting closer to your heart & soul).


It may seem trivial, but not everyone is comfortable being alone. You must learn how to spend time with yourself, before you can be part of a "UNION". If you take this journey you will learn some key points about who you really are , what your desires and dreams are for your life. Not what society says we should have. The grass isn't always greener on the other side and you never know how high that mountain was too climb for someone else's success. A successful career, diamonds & pearls, the finest car, big house, money in the bank, marriage along with the white picket fence is absolutely meaningless if you're not HAPPY.


Take a leap of faith and go see the movie EAT PRAY LOVE "ALONE". Experience the life changing moments of Elizabeth Gilbert, which is played by the beautiful Julia Roberts and you may be surprised to learn what I know will be some key points about yourself. The character in the movie travels through India, Italy and Indonesia. I have visited Bali which was a life changing experience for me and actually open my mind, heart and soul to experience life to the fullest. During that life changing moment I knew I wanted too create my own destiny, which was living everyday like a Fabulous Party. My business was born from that moment on. I am open to the possibilities that life has to offer and each day can & will be much more rewarding if you are in-tune with yourself 100%.


It's disturbing when I hear women say he completes me. No one should complete you. You are the key to your own happiness. A mate can make your life more rewarding, but should you not have someone special in your life doesn't mean you are worth anything less. Learn to love you, before you say yes to a "UNION".

In the News...drezrehersal Feature Friday on Seven5 Seven3

BREAKING NEWS...BREAKING NEWS... drezrehersal Event Planning & Lifestyle Co. featured on Seven5 Seven3 Feature Friday view our story of the details...behind our Passion for everything weddings, events & lifestyle planning.

Kimberly Clark, drezrehersal Event Planning & Lifestyle Co.
SEVEN5 SEVEN3 FEATURE FRIDAY

One Question Seven5 Seven3 ask us, however wasn’t included in the story, so you get a sneak peek. Important drezrehersal Tip for anyone who is considering going into business for themselves and how to deal with life changing moments.

Seven5 Seven3 Ques: What obstacles have you faced in your business, how did you surmount them?


Answer: As an entrepreneur you will encounter obstacles. The biggest obstacles for business owners are fear of failure, fear of making mistakes, fear of too much success. There will be challenges, obstacles along the way, however its learning how to approach them head on and deal with it.


1. Obstacles for me I call “Hiccups”, turning what most may think is a negative word to a word that is more attainable to deal with. “Hiccup” When I started I quickly learned not to take what people said at face value. Promises, Commitments, etc. Documenting detailed contracts became very important for me. Especially in my business. I’m working on behalf of my client and our core job is to make sure they receive everything they were promise.

2. Having a good support team: This means Friends, Family, Associates and Staff. You need positive reinforcement & support to succeed. If the closest people in your circle aren’t supportive or positive that can put a damper on your vision for success. Press the unread button quickly. This means you deal with at a distance. There’s nothing more frustrating then working with someone who doesn’t have the passion you do. If you don’t have passion for your business you have failed and it’s time to get out.

All in All life isn't perfect you will encounter many obstacles along the way. Its part of your growth process for a better you. I have a strong faith in God and when things don't go just right, I laugh & say to myself;  just a minor hiccup. Do what I need to do to make things smooth and move on. Don't dwell on it and as much as I love parties I don't throw myself a "Pity Party".

Our motto in life is Live everyday like it's a FABULOUS Party. Stay positive, following your dreams and anything is possible. You create the destiny you desire.
