We are helping her plan a great hen weekend too, but the growing costs did seem to be a bit of a worry. The bride to be has come up with a great idea that is going to save her money. Instead of sending all her hens paper invites (which would have cost a fortune) she is opting for e-Card invites. I was a bit baffled by her idea, but then she explained to me that they are better for the environment as no paper is required, and as long as you choose a free site, then the service won’t cost a penny! She told me that she had found a <a href="//www.ecards.co.uk/category/56/invitation_ecards.html”" rel="nofollow">Free Invitation e-Card</a> site. I checked it out and it looks really cool, lots of funny cards. There are loads of e-Card sites out there, so it may be worth doing your own research and finding one that suites you best. Hope this helps, and good luck everyone on your forthcoming weddings. Love and Hugs. Hey,

I can't believe it was the thirteenth suggestion. When it comes to my mom, it's the little gestures that matter and truly "the thought that counts." It would be so great if we could all be like that-- if we could embrace the philosophy of the Power of Small and understand that in life, it's the small stuff that makes the biggest difference.

My parents just moved back from Kuwait so they're in the process of unpacking and getting things organized in their house. So, I went over and cooked breakfast for them, then started some unpacking and cleaning while they ate. My mom being my mom, came out to help me because she thinks mother's day is really just another day, so we spent the morning talking and unpacking. It wasn't a lot, but as she's been trying to get the two siblings that live closest to her to come help for weeks, my gesture living an hour and a half a way from her, meant a lot.

I came across this viral video today which is great. You can customize it so it the name of whoever you want shows up in the video. A great gift especially for those geographically seperated from mom. http://news.cnnbcvideo.com/?nid=LSmOy4e6c5OsoT8hPI6eODExOTU5NDU3&referred_by=15880301-rlR39nx A budget friendly email gift — a personalized video.
