Agnolotti with Room Forty

Do you remember how amazing this event was? Well, good friends at Room Forty Catering are doing another pop-up dinner, this time in Nashville. We thought you might like to join them, so today, we’re offering up two tickets to attend! If you are in the Nashville area, all you need to do is leave a comment and let us know you’d like to come! (Not to worry, though, LA & OC–there are more Fall events for you too! Head here!)

In the meantime, we thought we’d share with you Room Forty’s Tutorial on making homemade Agnolotti. I think the idea of a homemade pasta night could be a super fun activity for a dinner party, or even getting together your bridal party for a festive hang out sesh leading up to the wedding! To see the step-by-step instructions, head here then here! We are ready for some tasty food, ASAP!

Monogram Etiquette

Emily McCarthy is a brand stylist, invitation and product designer, as well as an overall paper enthusiast. She recently shared a guide to monogram etiquette on her blog, A Savannah Redtop and I thought it was so informative/gorg that it demanded your attention at once. I’m already thinking about monograms (yes–I’m one of those girls that LOVES initials!) so this was a fun read! If you want Emily to create a custom monogram for you, email her here! You can see more of her work at Emma J Design.

SimpleRegistry

The first thing I always think of when marriage and weddings comes to mind is all the fun I’ll have entertaining our friends–especially after we’ve stocked out house with wedding gifts from our registry! That said, of course, it’s always difficult to get exactly what you want, especially if you are limited to just a few stores!

To keep it simple for guests, while still giving you the chance to shop wherever your heart desires, you should definitely check out our sponsor, SimpleRegistry who offers an easy to use Wedding Registry website. When it comes to wedding registry, it makes so much sense to keep things easy and have one registry service, right? With SimpleRegistry you can add anything to your registry, giving you the freedom do redeem your gifts as cash and decide where, when and how to arrange the purchase of your gifts! And adding is easy with their handy bookmarklet that goes in your boomarks bar–much like Pinterest!!! You can also download their iPhone app, which allows you to add to your registry with their barcode scanner. Pretty amazing stuff, right???
