It must be Hotel Maya week. Since I’ve written the article I’ve seen it pop up everywhere (Hi Hotel Maya, my name is Alison and I am available for PR work!). Anyways, while perusing Jetsetter (how I wish that ONE DAY I’ll get to book a vacation through their site) I saw that Hotel Maya will be on sale on Wed. June 9th! Perfect for a weekend getaway!

Available dates range from July - September 2010. Not a member of Jetsetter? No worries, get your invitation here!

Happy Tuesday everyone! We hope you had a relaxing three day weekend.  Our weekend was full of weddings and prepping for the launch of our latest issue: Haute Glue Couture!

We are so excited to finally share with you what we have been working on for the past month. To celebrate the launch of this issue, Eva, Henny, and Lucy decided to celebrate by hosting a s’mores themed launch party at The Wedding Pantry last night. It was SO good. Lots of friendly faces showed up including Darla of Darla Marie Designs, Gloria McCune of Grand Engagements, Christina Wright and her hubby from Simply Modern Weddings, Megan Gray of Ghost Academy, Monica Majors of Paper Cut Industries, Dana and her hubby of Broke Ass Bride, Bride and Bloom, and Kris of Krashing Motions Photography

Thank you to all those who came out, and if you missed it, look out for the next launch party!

Happy Friday lovely readers! What are you doing this weekend? Tonight The Wedding Pantry is hosting a free DIY wedding flower class that I am super excited to attend (even though I am not a bride-to-be!).  On Saturday I’m heading up to LA to attend an eclair and cream puff baking class - YUM!  I can’t wait to share with you what I’ve learned!  Here are a few of our favorite links from this week:

When you think of bachelor parties, what comes to mind? Drunken nights and hungover mornings? Poles? A worried fiancee? Nadine Sandeluss and James Bennett wanted to reinvent the bachelor party from “a stale booze battered and drunk tattooed mess” to a “high octane, memory making journey, full of adrenaline, excitement, and adventure,” so they founded Firefly Events in 2008.

Firefly Events offers typical bachelor activities such as paintball, beer tasting, and rock climbing, but they also love to go further by offering packages that include car racing, bungee jumping, shark diving and sword fighting.

One of their most popular packages is called “Spy School” where the bachelor and his friends will spend the day cocktail making, learning self defense, and sword fighting. How cool is that?

Packages are customizable and range from $35 per person to over $1500 per person.
