...those little labels...

You wouldn't think a little label would be so useful, but the certainly can be. Here's a tip for all you brides and grooms who plan to attend the Western New England Fall Bridal Show on Sunday at the MassMutual Center...use a label! Save yourself some time and effort and preprint your name, address, wedding date and email address on return address labels...they are cheap and quick. Print them out and bring them with you to the bridal show. So, when you're walking around and want to sign up for something, register for a prize or leave your contact information with a vendor, you can easily whip out your labels and slap it on. How easy is that! Love it!
