Getting a grasp on how to get ready on the wedding day is so much easier when you have a wedding day timesheet to work to.

So here's an timesheet to get you started based on preparation at home, a 4pm wedding ceremony followed by a sit-down dinner reception.

7.30 am Bridesmaids arrive at the Bride's home

8.00 am Hairdresser arrives at the Bride's home

10.00 am Makeup artist arrives at the Bride's home

12.00 am Healthy Lunch

1.00 pm Bride dressed first then the Bridesmaids dress

2.00 pm Photographer arrives at the Bride's home

4.30 pm  Wedding Ceremony ends

Things Needing Checking For the Timetable

* make sure you check how much time your photographer needs for the different shots you want as this can change how much time is given in the run sheet

* check the sunset times for your wedding day and location

* if you want a friend to take some preparation photos while the hairdresser and makeup artist are working make sure they know when to arrive

The Secrets of Success are usually the most obvious ones that are commonly overlooked and can come from the most unusual sources. Here's an example of an important lesson when learning the secrets of success.

I was watching Love's Harvest last night about an organic raspberry farmed who took 4 seasons, four years to get a successful crop result. Each year they tried different varieties of raspberries until they found the one that best suited their environment.

The big lesson from this was the idea they should have planted a range of varieties in the first place to test what works best for their situation. So if they'd planted in their initial raspberry patch 3 - 5 different varieties in the first season they could start eliminating the types that didn't suit and increase their chances of finding the ones that flourish for them. This would have saved years of financial hardship with failed crops.

It would mean that if they were lucky and picked the best variety in the first season they would miss out on having a full field of flourishing plants but when you're sorting out your risks you need to determine the cost of one season versus many seasons.

Of course this lesson is coming from 20/20 hindsight but the idea of testing isn't rocket science, it is a key to success - whatever you are doing. If you are working on your internet marketing strategy you test 3 - 5 internet marketing tactics to see what brings the best results. If you are working on new jewelry designs you make up samples and test them with your customers. The logic works across industries and concepts.

With a crop it is easy to see the results of your tests - to measure the test results. It is the measuring of the testing that matters as that's how you decide what has worked and get ideas as to why it worked - or didn't, as the case may be.

Making a success of a trade show exhibit has little to do with the size of your business - success is relative. What is surprising for many is the similarities between having a large expo exhibit and a small display stand.

Whether you're a small or big exhibitor with a portable trade show display or a custom trade show exhibit there are shared reasons for exhibiting and the outcomes you want. Here are 14 shared reasons and considerations:

All exhibitors want to:
1.  increase sales
2.  promote new product lines
3.  raise the profile of the business
4.  increase market share - get more sales from your competitors

All exhibitors want to attract and bring more qualified visitors including:
1.  existing and valued customers
2.  attract potential new customers
3.  other business opportunities to cross promote products through mutually advantage programs - network with other businesses where you can both benefit each other to grow the business

When it comes to the trade show exhibit all exbititors need to decide:
1.  the trade show display layout
2.  expo display products and services to be showcased
3.  trade show display unit components
4.  trade show marketing materials such as flyers, business cards, brochures, samples and price lists
5.  trade show promotions and giveaways like pens, lollies and candy, marketing toys, branded carry bags
6.  staffing and managing of the expo stand with a roster
7.  expo setup and packup methods so it is fast and as easy as possible

So to make your trade show exhibit rental and costs more than worthwhile go through all these points for how you are going cover them off successfully for your business.

I was out at the shops with a girlfriend this week and she was amazed that I already have my Mother's Day present shopping already sorted. Both our mothers live in the country while we're in the city and both women have just about everything they need.

So buying presents for Mother's day isn't that easy for them. For me I just bought a couple of little things I found at a seaside fair I was at the other day so it is a simple present, nothing fancy but something she'll like and I can post.

I feel a heap better about being organized already, a month out, but I have already had customers buying their own Mothers Day presents so it is already on their radar.

So inspired by all of this I thought I should add some beautiful jewelry designs to the UP to 40% Off Jewelry Sale for Mothers Day!

Here are some earrings that are in the Mother's Day Jewelry Sale, there's also necklaces and earring holders and more so come check it out.





So enjoy the feeling of being organized and have your Mother's Day gift shopping delivered to your door with all jewelry with free gift wrapping.

Have fun!

Having a fun and enjoyable bridal shower is a great way to get the girls together for a gossip before the wedding from both sides of the families that are being brought together as well as your girlfriends.

Bridal showers are usually held a few weeks out from the wedding and are organised by the lead bridesmaid or a family member or friend that can't make it to the wedding but wants to be involved.

Providing entertainment can be really easy with bridal showers if you want something to add to the usual tea party.

Ideas:

* Jewellery Party - a great way to get bridal party jewellery, bridal party presents all for free (or at least with a great discount)

* Lingerie party - often involving wine, laughter and a fun way to get honeymoon lingerie

* Themed outing - these depend on what you're into and what suits the guests best - anything from art gallery visits to live theatre to adventure sports to wine tasting tour and the list goes on.

For more bridal shower ideas and how to information see our free bridal articles online.

Here are 7 Free Tips to get you started with a successful home based business:

1. Choose something you really love, that captures your interest. You'll be far more motivated to work on something you find interesting and can be passionate about than something that doesn't move you at all.

I love this! Today is International Moment of Laughter Day!

Today is all about having a good laugh! So you need to get other's laughing as well as having a good laugh yourself.

So tell jokes, stories and relive funny times, watch movies that crack you up, or comedies that tickle your funny bone.

I love an interview on Parkinson with Robin Williams telling a story about the origins of golf - even just thinking about it gets me laughing. We all have jokes and stories that make us laugh so get sharing them today and this week to get friends, co-workers, family and associates laughing.

Remember that Laughter is the Best Medicine - so donate to a group like the Clown Doctors who work in hospitals to bring a smile to a child's face to help them through a scary and hard time.

So who's behind Laughter Day? Humorologist Izzy Gesell created Moment of Laughter Day to encourage people to laugh and it can be for the entire month of April, not just a single day.

Get out there and enjoy a GOOD LAUGH today!

Smiles and joy,
