This week's tip....

Okay, so I took a little time off from the tips, but last week was my first anniversary, so I took some time off in general!

For this week, it's a simple one: Check your spelling and grammar! You'll have to pick out lots of things like programs, invitations, etc... where you'll need to specify wording and spelling. Make sure you're wide awake when you do this, and that you double check everything!

How do I know this? Well, we decided on "Just Married" Hershey Kisses, and personalized M&Ms for our wedding favors. Simple enough, right? But when one grammar nut decided to order the M&Ms at 3am...she received several bags full of M&Ms labeled "The Picone's". No, not "The Picones", as it should have been. She decided to throw in a stray apostrophe, thus making the M&Ms possessive. Possessive of what, exactly, we're still not sure.

Luckily, I don't think too many people noticed what was a tragic grammatical error to me...er....said grammar nut. However, the grammar nut's equally as nutty coworker decided it would be fun to tape the M&Ms to signs and decorate the grammar nut's office with them. When the grammar nut came back from her honeymoon, she found the signs which read "The Picone's Office", "The Picone's Computer", etc...

Fortunately, the grammar nut has a good sense of humor. But don't get yourself into the same mess...just make sure to proof read :)
