When I quit my full time job (4 years ago?) I started making lists nearly every quarter. Obviously the longest and most challenging tasks to accomplish come this time of year when weddings come to a halt for a short while. Well, I think I’ve checked off about four out of 20 boxes because #motherhood. Every January you can find me archiving film, updating all the online things, and planning for the year ahead. I’d say I’m about 15% of the way to completing my goals with a deadline set in mid-March. Now I’m wondering if anyone even looks at my blog. Does anyone even care about Facebook anymore? Today in the highlights I’ll be asking some questions and taking some polls to conduct a little market research. I’m looking to work #smarternotharder this year. #bepcouples #film Workshop: @rever_workshop Workshop host: @shea_brianne Venue: @sparrowlanevenue Florist: @bluedaphneevents Hair: @diamondsanddos Makeup: @nikkismithmakeup Stationery designer: @morganrileydesign Signage designer: @shopreveriedecor Linen rentals: @bbjlinen Rental décor: @thevintagerentalcompany Gowns and accessories for elopement and vintage bride: @tesori_bridal Gowns and accessories for the loft bridal session: @normansbridal Shoes: @bellabelleshoes

Are you gifting something to your husband/wife to commemorate your wedding day? Here is a short list of ideas:⠀ ⠀ Mutual:⠀ -Write letters to one another that can be opened as certain milestones in your marriage come.⠀ -Purchase a nice bottle or bottles of wine/champagne to celebrate your first, fifth, and tenth year anniversary. ⠀ -Order a bible that you’ll intentionally use for the remainder of your lives together. Plan to make notes in it as things progress in your marriage. ⠀ -Surprise one another with an activity on your honeymoon that your SO doesn’t know about until you’re there. A day at the spa, a romantic dinner on the beach, or upgrading your hotel room are just a few ideas!⠀ -Nice passport sleeves for a lifetime of adventure together. ⠀ For Him:⠀ -Cufflinks. If he enjoys getting dressed up occasionally then a pair of cufflinks that will last is the perfect gift. The options are endless. ⠀ -Have a family heirloom salvaged or repurposed. This is perfect if a parent has passed away. ⠀ -Sports Memorabilia. There are so many creative ideas out there for this! ⠀ -Rent a car he’ll enjoy driving during your honeymoon if you’re staying on the mainland. Anything from vintage to exotic can be rented in larger cities across the U.S.⠀ ⠀ For Her: ⠀ -Repurpose a family heirloom. Think about who she is closest to in her family and discuss some ideas.⠀ -Jewelry. It can be old or new. The thought behind the gift is what counts the most! It will be a keepsake she can pass down. ⠀ -Perfume. The scent you’ll always remember from your wedding day. ⠀ -A photo album showcasing your lives together until your wedding day. ⠀ ⠀ Here is one last final thought - even the simplest things can be the most memorable in all the years to come. In our almost nine years of marriage my husband has never stopped surprising me with gifts. It’s his love language. The things he’s given me that required the most thought (even the occasional Valentine’s card) mean the most to me. The best advice I can give going forward is to always think of one another and what will stand the test of time. #bepcouples #film
