Tim and Mo’s Garden Wedding Vites and Site

GloTaryn — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 17:07:43 +0000

The Glö-Bride: Melissa, Educational consultant Her Glö-partner: Tim, Landscaper Celebration Date & Location: August 2010 in Melissa’s sister’s backyard in Junction City, Oregon/Lane County, USA Tell us how you got engaged: I have been friends with Tim’s sister for over 20 years. Tim and I recently met again after many years and sparks flew. He proposed over a picturesque bridge on bended knee, and I, of course, said yes. What’s the overall ‘feeling’ you’re aiming for with your celebration: We’re celebrating in my sister’s beautiful garden with many, many lush blooming plants. The overall “feeling” we’re going for is casual garden party. Are you adding any fun twists on tradition: We have wonderful cooks in the family, so we’re doing potluck. What was the inspiration behind your Glövite and Glösite design? How did you make it? My sister’s garden and her cats were the inspiration for the invitation and website. We also threw in an eagle to honor Tim’s totem animal. I have to confess, I had to do a bit of research to learn that a totem animal is a personal spirit that helps watch over and guide you. Pretty cool stuff! I took a little quiz and found […]

Snazzy “things to see and do” map widget

So Glöbies are incredibly resourceful. You guys find the absolute neatest zing and zang to add to your sites. A perfect example is the map that Kyle made with Google Maps for her site – it includes ALL the hotspots that her guests will need to know about (and get to) during her wedding celebration in Topsail Island. It even has nifty little icons to help guests differentiate a hotel from a restaurant. View Topsail Island Guide in a larger map Super cool, huh? I asked Kyle to write a ‘how to’ explanation so that others would be able to do the same. She’s such a good egg that soon after the below arrived in my inbox. It’s super easy to do! First thing you need is a Google account if you don’t have one already. Once you’re signed into your Google account, you go to http://maps.google.com/. On the lefthand side of the map, you’ll see two links: Get Directions and My Maps. Click on My Maps. If you’ve never made a Google Map before, a video will pop up that has a great tutorial on how to use the feature. From there you can either click on Learn More […]

Travel Help For Your Guests

GloTaryn — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 21:55:17 +0000

In this day and age, it seems that almost every wedding has a multitude of out-of-town guests. It’s great, and makes us feel super-duper loved when folks travel from far and near to celebrate with us. However, some guests are more comfortable than others with booking travel arrangements. I am a travel fiend and am fairly obsessed with booking travel online (seriously, I think it’s a sickness.) Because of this, I sometimes (ok, often…) I forget that for friends and family members who don’t travel frequently, the simple act of finding flights can be daunting. Since I know the Glö-bies out there love to make things as stress-free and easy going for your guests as possible, I did a bit of searching for some fun travel-related widgets that could help point your guests in the right direction. Helping your guests arrive at your celebration safe, sound, and with as little hassle as possible will ensure that they’re ready to pah-ty as soon as they arrive! Flights, Cars and Hotels Get the Expedia widget and many other great free widgets at Widgetbox! Not seeing a widget? (More info) Get the Kayak – Search 200+ Sites For Air, Hotel, And Car widget […]
