“The more we get together, together, together, the more we get together the Greener we’ll be”

Are your family members gathering for Thanksgiving or the upcoming Holiday season?

If so, don’t make your family members travel again to participate in pre-wedding festivities. Save them money, time, and not to mention a large amount of energy used in transportation. Combine the joy of the holidays and the joy of your wedding with a few strategies!

No matter what state of the wedding process you are in, this can be the perfect opportunity to kick off your engagement, have a bacchelorette party, or even better, have a bridal shower.

1) Skip the formal written engagement announcements: Announcing your engagement at a family gathering will only add to the love and joy you are all giving thanks for.

2) Going to a fun area for the holidays: Everyone wants to kick back on around the holidays, so why not plan a night out for the Bachelorette or Bachelor party. Or better yet, holiday season many bars are booked for private parties, so, through a low key shindig at someones house and really save on transportation to and from bars, not to mention the pricey bar tab. If you’re sold on going out, since most likely you will be together, think about having a joint Bachelor/Bachelorette.

3) For the bridal shower announcement: The holidays often means all types of family members, old and young are all together. This is a prefect situation for the bridal shower. Thanksgiving, in particular, is a wonderful occasion to give a bridal shower as you are thankful for meeting your future husband or wife.
