Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day and a celebration of the life and legacy of a man who brought hope and healing to America. He spoke one of the most famous words in American history..."I have a dream".
Let us celebrate the man, the day and the dream today!
My friends joke with me that when I dream - it must have a theme as I constantly theme everything! Our house (African Theme), birthday parties, anniversary's - about anything I do has to have a theme! Before I got into the wedding market, I worked in the oilfield industry in marketing. Here I was to create and promote events for the company - and - yes - you guessed it - I themed the events.
So...it was no surprise to my husband, when I told him we needed to theme one of his websites. He had a Marketing Reminder website that we took and created a remarkable new product - the 2008 Marketing & Promotional Calendar.
We are getting huge response from this theme related product. Just today we got a write-up in the National Post (to read the story click here..)
This is a great gift for any entrepreneur, marketing guru, writer, blogger, etc. as it gives you tons of different ideas on what to write about or promote for everyday!
I also got to thinking what a great idea for weddings!
Sometimes you just can't think of what type of theme you want to use...or your just lost in bringing together a color you like? And I think the calendar has some solutions if you are one of these people such as:
Saturday. June 21, 2008 is Watermelon Seed Spitting Day - if this happens to be your wedding day - what a great idea to do your wedding around watermelons. Watermelon is known as a quintessential treat on hot summer days; they are known as sweet, juicy, bright and fun so use this context for your theme!
- Your centerpieces are easily done with watermelons (they can be carved into anything!). Or even just half them, carve them out and add your flowers.
- Place water fountains around the venue and put dynamic red food coloring in the fountains
- Your Menu is easily done from Watermelon Shirley Temples, Watermelon Salads & you can also create Watermelon Relishes to go with your entree.
- The ideas are endless... in Unique Theme Weddings - The Dazzling July 4th - has some great ideas to accompany this "picnic" type of theme wedding.
OR.....
Saturday, August 9, 2008 is National Polka Festival Day. Here - I would use Polka Dots for my theme. You can find tons of wedding related items such as below:
polka dots organza bags
Personalized Satin Dots Favor Ribbons
Every wedding date as a story!
And if you live in my world - everything & anything can be themed!
Oh - I could go on and on....but as it's a holiday today....Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
