Art of the Table, Wish Upon A Wedding, a Half-Marathon, and Green Monsters

(Warning: Long post, but worth the read) :)

It's hard to believe that it has been a little over 45 days since I last checked in on the blog! 

After the last post I wrote, I decided I needed to take some time to reflect about the direction that I want to take things with those blog. It seems that every day a new blog pops up with inspiration "this" and featured wedding (designed by someone else) "that". While I want my blog to provide information and inspiration that will help brides plan their weddings, I don't want my blog to be like most of these blogs that have a national audience. [Please don't get me wrong, I LOVE and read most of these aforementioned blogs daily. I have even submitted some of my work to them.]

What does this mean for the April Foster Events Blog? From this point forward, the blog will be much more focused. Because April Foster Events is based in Central Indiana and 90% of our clients' events are in Central Indiana, the events, information, and inspiration will be relevant and specific to Indiana. Additionally, instead of posting 5 blog posts one week and 1 blog post the next, it will be my goal to consistently post 3 blog posts every week.

So, that's that!

Now, for the blog's title. We have been busy over the past 45 days and I want to share some of the highlights with you.

On March 6th, we participated in our first ever Art of the Table event. We chose to showcase a Stlylish Black and White striped Reception table. Below is a little sneak peak of our table. You will be able to see more pictures on another website soon!

April 7th was a day that I will never forget. Indianapolis's Wish Upon A Wedding Chapter granted their first wish and we had the honor of planning the wedding. You can read all about the wedding on the Wish Upon a Wedding Blog. Please take a moment and visit the How to Help page to get involved with this amazing orgainzation!

On a personal note, I will be running my first ever race - the Indianapolis Mini Marathon - on Saturday, May 7th. I'm excited and nervous, but ready to run!

The Green Monsters thing was more or less to get your attention, but there is a little more meaning. Recently, I started drinking these smoothies called Green Monsters. They are supposed to improve your health on a number of levels. While they taste really great, the verdict is still on the results.

Closing thoughts: I think this blog post is long enough. I won't bore you with any. :)
