Tasha was fantastic! She saved me so much time and effort! We sat together with my engagement photos and designed the save the dates and invitations from scratch. Everyone (including us) absolutely LOVED them! She also stuffed, addressed, stamped, and mailed everything for me, such a blessing!
Thanks Tasha! -Carrie
UPDATE: Carrie & Ronnie just had their first child! Congrats!

A few weeks back I got an email from a reporter, JULIE SCELFO from the New York Times. She wanted to interview me about the virtual babyshower we had for my best friend this summer.
Here is a portion of the article about Jamie Van Houten’s babyshower.
This summer, when Jamie Van Houton, 28, moved from Riverside, Calif., to Ohio six months into her pregnancy, her best friend, Tasha Montgomery, 33, worried that her friend would feel lonely in the run-up to childbirth.
“They really didn’t know anyone out there,” Ms. Montgomery said.
In July, Ms. Montgomery decided to give a baby shower using video chat, and enlisted mutual friends in Riverside to bake a brunch dish and join them for the party.
“We set her up on the mantel so she could see everybody,” said Ms. Montgomery, who had mailed Ms. Van Houton a paper banner beforehand. “We had expected the party to be two or two-and-a-half hours, and people ended up hanging out, talking for four or five hours. It was great.”
Ms. Van Houton, who hung the banner behind her so that guests could see it, said she was surprised at how lively her high-tech shower turned out to be.
“I had thought, ‘Oh, this will be fun, but it’s not the same as being there,’ ” Ms. Van Houton said. “But it turned out to be even better,” she said, explaining how friends also took turns talking to her. “I got to connect with everybody one-on-one, more so than if I was there.”

Thursday night I was offered a booth at the Kiss the Bride show for free.
I said yes and the next 24 hours consisted of designing takeaways, booth theme and various visuals. I decided to mock up Leigha & Kile’s Log Cabin Wedding Weekend. I was up until 2:30am and my roommate took over for the next 3 hours so I could get some sleep.
I was out the door at 6:30am.
Doors opened at 10:30am and went non-stop until 3:30pm. There were only a few short lulls during the bridal fashion show. I had a lot of great feedback and complements.
Thanks to everyone who supported me with a helping hand and through prayer.
