Programs?! Programs?!

3 days before the wedding, the details of the ceremony were finalized. So, I headed off to our local craft store and picked up medium weight card stock, a small single hole punch, ribbon and stickers. Oh. And a paper crease to help make crisp folds.
.
.
.
Employing 3rd grade crafting skills, I knocked these out in no time. What? Me worry? .

Do you know the way to San Jose?
.
.
.
The city’s changed so much since I started visiting back in 2007. Hotel prices have soared thanks to Silicon Valley tech money. Finding an affordable, yet elegant, place to stay to begin our week-long wedding adventure was a challenge.
.
.
.
Fortunately, my daughter found the @hayesmansion, an historic hotel that, until recently, was owned by the City of San Jose. It’s scheduled for a $15 million upgrade by new owners. Can’t wait to see it after the reno!
.
.
.
Built in 1905, it’s a magnificent estate property tucked away in a suburban neighborhood. I stole some precious quiet time in the mornings (#calmbeforethestorm), with my coffee on a secluded terrace surrounded by lush tropical foliage. Thank you to the friendly and efficient group reservations team, especially Frances and Rona, who facilitated our stay. .

How’d you deal with the heat wave this weekend?

I “suffered” at a local German fest. Oompah band and cold pitchers of Spaten. Prosit!

Planning a bridal shower? Try a tea party! We held one in Central Park and it was perfect...sunny skies, a wonderful group of family and friends, and an utterly charming spread crafted by the talented Sarah Chesters. •

She went to the bother of doing a trial run of the place settings for me. Want to see more? Check out @sarahchestersevents as captured by @peeteysplanet As for the sweet treats? Head to @laelcakes in Brooklyn. Worth the trek.
