"New Beginnings" with #TargetWedding + GIVEAWAY!

Hi lovelies!  I've teamed up with Target once again to promote its awesome Target Wedding Registry and how it makes getting that special gift for that special couple (or receiving it if you're the one getting married!) so easy and so perfect to combine the interests of both individuals into a super fun gift that they're sure to treasure!

One of Target's featured registry items is this gorgeous Threshold Beach Blanket, which comes in three colors and I really wish someone would buy it for me!  It's great for the beach, of course, but it's also perfect for the park too!  My guy and I love to just relax outside and enjoy some cold beverages in the summer months, so I'd pair this with these adorable Chevron Outdoor Pillows so we could lounge back, and of course this Coleman Cooler to keep our drinks nice and cold.

Now who wouldn't want an awesome, thoughtful gift like that?  It's the perfect start to a "New Beginning"!

I've got a great way for you to start on that perfect gift (for a happy couple, or for yourself!)!  Target has generously offered one lucky Smart n Snazzy reader a $25 e-gift card!  Entering is simple, use the rafflecopter below!  Good luck!

How to Give an Unforgettable Wedding Gift #TargetWedding

Content and/or other value provided by our partner, Target.

Hi lovelies!  With winter weddings upon us, it's time to think about creating the absolute perfect and unforgettable gift for the bride and groom.  While it's best practice to pick up something off their Target Wedding Registry, let's take it one step further to make it that much more perfect!  I'd start with a Keurig, who wouldn't have one on their registry?

But don't stop there.  While it's an investment, spending a few more dollars will really make it unforgettable!

Why not pick up a couple of plain, white mugs and use a sharpie to write Mr. and Mrs. on them, respectively.  Let dry overnight, then place them in a cool oven.  Heat to 425 for about 30 minutes.  Let the oven cool completely before removing.

Next, grab some K-Cups in assorted varieties (don't forget the hot cocoa!) and add some fun fixins too!  Think marshmallows, coffee liquor, sugar cubes, etc.  Lastly, put everything in a pretty basket or crate - presentation is everything!

Now that is a gift the happy couple will be sure to love and won't ever forget!

Have a Fun, Casual Reception with #TargetWedding + a Giveaway!

Content and/or other value provided by our partner, Target.

Hi lovelies!  So when it came to my wedding, I really wanted something super casual, laid back, where our guests would feel relaxed, at home, and would just be able to have a great time!  So we encouraged everyone to change into comfy clothes before coming to my mom's house (YUP!) for the reception.  We set up tables and chairs around the pool, in which there were beautiful flower petals strewn about.  We grilled burgers, noshed on homemade Greek hors d'oevres, and drank from a keg.  It was so low key, it was so fun!  No expensive rentals, deejay, caterers, etc.  It was so us.

If I have to do it all over again (keep in mind I am no longer married), I think I would do the same thing.  Okay, maybe not at my mom's house, but certainly something equally simple, casual, and fun!

A few months ago, when I first partnered up with Target, I mentioned its Be Yourself, Together theme.  It represents the union of two different, unique people into one amazing couple while still maintaining their unique taste and individuality.  What better way to embody that spirit than to make your reception your own!  This way, you both get a say in the decor, menu, setup, activities, etc.  Make sure to check out the Target Wedding Registry for its specially curated collection of traditional and non-traditional gifts sure to complement the tastes of each of you!

Upon perusing the Target Wedding Catalog, I found the perfect items to really make sure your reception is perfect.  First, what is a party without cocktails?



Head to the liquor store for an assortment of spirits and mixers, and allow your guests to play bartender as they mix and make some tasty drinks!

For those younger or choosing the non-alcoholic route, the SodaStream Source Soda Maker would be soooo fun, don't you think?

Lastly, wind down the event with coffee for everyone.



A Keurig station with assorted K-cups, mugs, and all the fixins would be so ideal, don't you think?

Now, Target has generously offered one Smart n Snazzy reader the chance at a $25 gift card!  To enter, check out the Target Wedding Catalog and let me know your favorite item for my reception, along with why you've chosen it.  Enter all info using the rafflecopter, below!

Be Yourself, Together with #TargetWedding + DIY Tassel Dinner Napkins

Hi lovelies!  With wedding season upon us again, it's time to think about just what do we get the happy couple.  It can be so stressful, especially when you have two people that are so different!  When Target asked me to post about its Target Wedding, its Target Wedding Catalog and its 'Be Yourself, Together' idea, I was more than happy to!  It's about when two people join forces while celebrating their individuality, think about two very different Target products that, when gifted together, add up to something more – just like our couples.  If I were to get married (yikes!), I would absolutely register at Target. I mean, there's everything everyone needs there, and you can really personalize your registry by including items for each person, rather than what just one person likes/wants.

Take my boyfriend and I for example.  His taste is very classic, simple, and timeless.  Mine is more classic but with a twist!  {Click to keep reading!}
