Getting married today often means combining households.

Are you downsizing from two homes to one? Are you selling one of the homes?

If you don’t have time to mess with coordinating repairs or remodeling projects, how about getting a cash offer for your home “as is”?

Rick Edgeworth enjoys taking an older, or rundown, home and remodeling it to get it ready for a new family to call home.

If you’d like to talk about getting a cash offer for your home, Rick has made the process easy and fast.

Just click here for the 409 Cash Home Buyers website.

Type in three basic pieces of information: address of the home you’re interested in selling, your name, and the phone number you want them to call.

If your house looks like a fit for Rick and his team, you’ll get a call back in about 24 hours and a cash offer.

If things look good, just pick your closing date. Rick and his team can close fast if you need to, in as little as a week.

If you don’t have time and energy for remodeling a home and getting it ready to sell, consider selling your home “as is” for cash. You can use the money for the wedding, honeymoon, put it towards your next home, or even to get a head start on retirement!

409 Cash Home Buyers is looking for homes (and commercial buildings) in Beaumont, Port Arthur, Lumberton, Silsbee, and across the Golden Triangle.

Southeast Texas Wedding Ideas – Share today’s affordable wedding gift idea of the week!

SETXweddings.com is continuing to follow a trend in which our Southeast Texas brides are trying to ensure they have registry items that are appropriate for those who are cash strapped in this down economy.

We’re introducing an “Affordable Gift Idea Series” while the trend continues.

This week’s idea is… magazine subscriptions tailored to you and your fiancée. 

Magazines are ideal for newlyweds- you can keep up on topics you’re passionate about in small, digestible doses while you’re building your new life. After all, ideally you won’t be hopping into bed to read long novels for the first few years anyway!

Learn ways to create a happy home, get good ideas for decorating, tips for cooking and much more that help ease the learning curve during the first year of marriage.

After you’ve enjoyed your current issue consider passing them on to a friend or donating them to your local library or nursing home.
Some great suggestions are Cooking Light, Food and Wine, Food Network, Taste of Home, House Beautiful, Better Homes and Gardens, Country Living, Southern Living, and Good Housekeeping.

These are pretty tame titles (but also very popular!). Your magazines should reflect YOU. If there are magazines that mean more to you, put them on the list. If you’re an Inked or Guns and Ammo girl, you’ve got to be you!

There are lots of great titles for men. After all, now that he’s got you, he won’t need Maxim anymore. The following are highly recommended:

Fur Fish and Game: Hands down the best magazine in the nation for the average Joe who likes to hunt and fish. Instead of telling you about hunting Kudu in Kenya they have articles on catfish, rabbits, and squirrels.

Texas Monthly. If you can find articles between the ads, they’re generally very good restaurants. Lots of information on Texas politics, scandals, news makers, and restaurants/food.

Texas Highways. Great title for planning “mini-honeymoons” after your official honeymoon. Lots of planning tips for day trips and overnight road trips in Texas.

Grilling Magazines. Set the boundaries early in your marriage. You have no intention of cooking every night do you? Let him know NOW. He has a grill – make sure he’s ready to use it!

ESPN The Magazine. Less dry than Sports Illustrated with lots of big glossy photos. ESPN analysts on TV are funny and that comes through in the magazine as well.

Texas Fish & Game. As the name implies, each month has articles on both hunting and fishing, so that’s nice for the well rounded outdoorsman. The unique feature of the magazine is that there are different editions for the different regions of Texas. Our edition is the Coastal Edition which has more articles on saltwater fishing- redfish, specks, flounder, and offshore species. If you know your fiancée makes a lot of trips to Central or West Texas, you can order the appropriate edition.

Men’s Fitness. Hey, you don’t want him to get out of shape after the wedding do you?

Magazines are great for coffee tables, bedside tables, or “the office” reading material.

Magazines also let visitors to your home know a little about you. They are like a window into your inner likes, dreams, and interests.
Those looking to really save can order a subscription online and get a great deal.

After you’ve enjoyed your current issue consider giving them to someone else, donating them to your local library, or nursing home (ALL local Southeast Texas nursing homes would greatly benefit from donations of books and magazines).Everyone likes a good magazine.

We should know: SETX Weddings has been THE bridal magazine for Southeast Texas for over 10 years!

We hope you have enjoyed today’s edition of Southeast Texas Wedding Ideas.

Stay tuned for more, right here on your Southeast Texas wedding magazine – SETXWeddings.com.

Southeast Texas Wedding Planning

Tips for including “Green” elements into your wedding.

Many of our Golden Triangle brides make efforts to be “green” – recycling, eating locally sourced foods, even being vegan or vegetarian.

Planning a memorable celebration of your commitment to each other, however, doesn’t mean you have to compromise on your commitment to the environment. It’s possible to create the wedding of your dreams and stay “green”.

December is the most popular month for proposals, and the second-most popular cool season month for weddings (after October). Environmentally correct weddings are a hot trend.

If your vision of the perfect wedding includes being eco-friendly, here are some tips and ideas to help you turn your vision into reality:

Eco-Friendly Feasting

Great food is an essential part of any wedding, whether you’re serving a sit-down dinner or just hors d’oeuvres and cocktails. When you’re planning your menu, however, keep in mind how the foods you choose may impact the environment. For example, is that fish entree net caught, line caught or farmed?

A dish’s environmental impact depends on several factors, including how the product was raised and harvested, how it was transported and how far it had to travel from point of origin to plate.

Top Golden Triangle wedding caterers can help you find locally sourced meats and produce.

By choosing locally grown products or those grown and harvested using sustainable practices, you can reduce your wedding feast’s impact on the environment.

Reuse, Recycle and Revel

Brides in bygone generations once gladly wore their mother’s wedding dress, but the practice fell out of vogue as more brides wanted their own unique look for their wedding day.

But the green movement has breathed new life into the practice, since reusing and recycling eliminates the need to consume materials and energy making something new.

More brides are finding that recycling a wedding dress has other advantages too. It’s possible to achieve a great vintage look with a used wedding dress – whether it’s one handed down from your mother or one you found in a second-hand store. A new gown can cost thousands of dollars, while a re-purposed dress can be had much more affordably.

Wedding Favor Wonders

Sure it’s a cool idea and the groomsmen will likely use theirs often, but just how environmentally correct is that custom-imprinted beer cozy? Wedding favors are a way of thanking guests for sharing in your special day, but many popular items are made from less-than-eco-friendly materials.

To green your wedding, consider favors that are useful and organic, such as organic baking mixes or spice mixes. You can find a plethora of these great-tasting, green-minded options from purveyors like Simply Organic. They even have holiday-appropriate varieties like Cranberry Bread and Pumpkin Cake at www.simplyorganic.com. Dress up favors with decorative netting and ribbons, and you have a unique favor that’s good for guests and the environment, too.

Greener invitations

The invitation is often the first impression guests will have of your wedding. While every bride wants invitations that will wow guests, keep in mind the costs – both monetary and environmental – of all that paper. Many eco-minded brides are switching to invitations made with recycled paper or, better yet, electronic invitations.

No raw materials are consumed to create e-vites, and what’s more, you can find online services that not only help you create an e-vite, but send it and monitor responses all online. Using such a service can help you keep better track of RSVPs.

There is the option of sending invitations printed on recycled paper with flower seeds imbedded in the paper. Your guests can plant the invitation in their garden, and remember your special occasion every time they see the beautiful flowers growing. Visit www.greenfieldpaper.com to learn more.

Little Things Can Mean alot Environmentally

Some other steps that may seem small – like choosing locally grown, in-season flowers rather than out-of-season ones that must be imported – can also make a big difference in how your wedding impacts the environment. Whether you opt to replace cut bouquets and centerpieces with artificial ones that can be reused, or choose acoustic music that requires no electricity to keep guests dancing, it’s possible to find green options for almost every aspect of your wedding.

We hope today’s wedding planning tips were helpful.

Golden Triangle Wedding Planning

Advice to help you choose your “just right” wedding band.

You know in your heart if your wedding is supposed to have a DJ or a Southeast Texas wedding band.  

Neither option is right or wrong, but one is more right for you.

If you have decided that a live band is what your SETX wedding reception needs, here are some tips to consider.

1. If you have seen a band at another Southeast Texas wedding and loved them, weigh that pretty highly. Many bands play lots of kinds of gigs- proms, corporate events, fancy birthday parties. A wedding is a little different. If you have seen a band at a wedding and liked the way they played, their appearance, the way they kept the reception moving along, that is very important and should count very much in their favor.

2. Make sure you know where the band is from. Bands travel for gigs and with the internet it is pretty easy for a band to look like they are a “Beaumont wedding band” or “Port Arthur wedding band” when they are really from Houston or Austin or Dallas. Houston, Austin, and Dallas all have great bands but over a four hour drive a band could get lost, drunk, arrested, car trouble, weather problems, or a better paying gig. Any one of these unfortunate events would seriously jeapordize your dream Southeast Texas wedding reception.

3. Use your other Southeast Texas wedding vendors for advice. Your Southeast Texas wedding reception hall and caterer in particular have seen a lot of wedding bands and DJs over the years. They have a really good idea of- who shows up on time, who really specializes in the kind of music you want at your wedding, which bands are the most professional. Your other Southeast Texas wedding vendors can tell you which Southeast Texas wedding bands have blown off gigs, shown up drunk, or who sound great in studio but are less entertaining on stage.

If you want a Southeast Texas wedding band to make your Golden Triangle wedding reception perfect, make sure you choose the perfect band- for you.

Southeast Texas Wedding Band? Choose well – the right band can really take your SETX wedding reception to the next level.
