Tax Tip

Don't forget you can write off on your taxes any payment you provide a non profit, 501c3 organization. This typically includes churches and places of worship. Also, flowers left at the church are considered a donation so go ahead, get the extra floral arraignment!

Please consult your tax professional regarding proper procedures. Keep a copy of receipts for church/chapel usage fees as well as flowers donated with your important tax records.

Bobbi and Mike

I had the great pleasure of meeting Bobbi at the WPPI conference in Las Vegas this month. Her work is amazing. Although she is based out of Indianapolis, she travels free in the winter months for weddings. Something about snow and cold weather scares off the brides out there! She is a lot of fun and will make you completely relaxed on your wedding day.

For an event at work we got favors from Claremont downtown favorite, A. Kline. The peanut butter squares with dark chocolate are to die for! They packaged two chocolates in a box, customized with our ribbon for about $2.25 a box (Price depends on the weight of the chocolate). They were very knowledgeable and did a wonderful job with the packaging.

Depending on the chocolates you choose (the lighter the better) this is a very yummy favor idea perfect for small weddings, or as wedding party gifts!
