Spring Into Spring's Occasions

By: Resa Heart

I usually enjoy the first weeks of January as it's a nice quiet time after all the frenzy of the Holiday season. But after another 4 - 6 weeks have passed, I find I'm tired of winter and can only look forward to Spring. It shouldn't be too much longer before I am finally able to see the buds swell on the trees and the birds come back.

Soon the first signs of Spring turn into an all out assault of color and warmth. Who can blame us for wanting to celebrate during this season? When I think of Spring I think of young men and women either graduating from high school or college or getting married at a wedding ceremony.

Ideas for graduation parties include keeping it simple. Often a simple barbeque will do with a small tent that you can buy or rent. Hot dogs, hamburgers, pop and beer are enough to keep just about everyone happy. Throw in a cake and you are set.

Weddings are more formal affairs. Months go into planning. From scheduling a photographer, finding a venue to hold the reception and, for the bride, finding the perfect dress, getting it fit and then finding all the accessories can take more time than one could possibly imagine.

Weddings can sometimes be simpler without losing any elegance. Instead of a pricy room to rent you could, just as you do with a graduation party, have the reception in your backyard with a large tent. If you have sufficient electrical outlets on the outside of your home, you can rent a portable dance floor and DJ to provide music.

Because we are having an outdoor wedding reception, it will be held in the late afternoon while there is still plenty of sunshine (natural light). We live up north so the heat won't be a problem.

Because outdoor weddings are a bit less formal, the groom and groomsmen can often look quite nice in suits and avoid the rental of tuxedos. I've even seen a wedding where the groomsmen just wore matching shirts and ties with some very nice slacks and skipped the suit jacket and it was still a very lovely occasion.

Because the wedding will be outside, we've arranged to have a manned table set up for the gift giving. That way we don't have to worry about someone who was not invited showing up just to help themselves to the gifts.

When the Springtime events start up this year I may be tempted to complain about being too busy. But all I need to do to snap out of it is to look back at the last days of winter and then look outdoors at all the vibrant colors of Spring. I know that's all I need to feel joy.
