Hello again!

I'm just realizing this is becoming a collective of all the great frugal party ideas out there on the web. I am trying to fit in as many different types oF categories as I can, so that you can more easily find what you are looking for. I may group one or more ideas together on one post, but I will try to include multiple labels so that you can find it when you need to. Soon, I will also be installing a Google search button so that you can more easily find helpful hints and tips on the blog.

As I get back into planning my own events this summer, I hope to include more of my own advice and experience as the weeks go by. For now, I might be digging through the archives of my little head to try and remember some of my favorites from the past.

Again, if you have questions you would like answered or have suggestions for the site, please e-mail me! Thanks!

Welcome!

Welcome to Very Merry Events!

The idea behind this blog is the need for a resource for frugal party planning ideas. With a little ingenuity and a simple theme, you can make any event special, whether it is a family birthday celebration, a summer picnic, or an Easter feast.

The idea behind the name "Very Merry Events" comes from both the song "A Very Merry Unbirthday" from Alice in Wonderland, as well as the idea of merrymaking, which just means "a festive activity."

I have found a new joy in planning events and parties, and want to share that enthusiasm with others. As a Christian wife and mother, I seek to glorify God by showing hospitality to family, friends, and neighbors. By opening our homes and our kitchens to others, we can share the love of Christ through word and deed.

I hope this blog will be a resource for you as you plan your next event! If you have a specific question about a party you are planning or have an idea you would like to share, please write to me at verymerryevents(at)gmail(dot)com or click here. Thank you for stopping by!
