5 Odd-Ball Tips on Ways to Make Your Wedding Unique


The day you get married to the love of your life will be memorable for a life time, not only for you but for your friends, family and other loved ones as well. This is why it is important to make it uniquely beautiful and entertaining for your guests and for yourselves. One of the most important things about throwing a good wedding is to personalise it as much as possible. Your guests are there to share a unique love story of two individuals and make sure you give them just that. You should also understand that they spend their precious time to attend your special day out of their sheer love for you. Therefore, it is your duty to ensure they do have a good time!

Cocktail stationLet’s face it! No one would say no to a nice cocktail, especially when they are in a celebratory mood. Without going for traditional bottle alcohols, add some glamour and colour to the occasion by having a good cocktail station with a skilled bartender who knows their cocktails. You are sure to get a cheery crowd in your day rather than a bunch of people bored and brooding.



Heals-free dancing floorHeals do look good on a lady, and the ladies who attend your wedding will not come in flats for sure. However, heals can extremely restrict their chances of having some good fun in your special day. Add a box of pretty slippers next to your dance floor to those who want to have some real fun on the dance floor! Don’t let heals keep them away from breaking some moves and having fun!

Gifts to goGiving your guests a small token to remember your special day has not become common among many. Add a twist to it by making the gifts personalised. This would be easier if you are having a small reception, but they will always remember if you manage to put some effort to personalise their gift rather than giving the same thing to everyone. Staffordshire Catering is also happy to provide a gift bag for all of your wedding guests!

Catering with a TwistEveryone is used to regular wedding catering styles. Try to add some twist to it by perhaps having a theme pre-discussed with your caterer. You can have themed appetisers; themed food stations and even gets a few nice tags naming regular food with a theme to bring some laughs.

A play area for kidsKids are adorable, but in an occasion like a wedding where they have to stay still for a long period of time can make them fussy. Have a small play area where kids can get together and do some colouring, board games, and other fun things while their parents have a good time in the reception. They will thank you for sure!

How To Host A Perfect Children Party


Parties are a great occasion to let children know how to be grateful for what they have: health, family and friends. There is nothing more exciting for children than an awesome party. But it’s very hard for the parents to host and manage such a notorious gathering; with balloons blowing up, children intending to wreck the house and a chaos all around.

Keep on reading to find out how to host a perfect children party if you are planning to host one.

Pick up an Interesting Theme
Party theme is what outlines the whole function. If you are planning to have professional entertainers at the party and they’ll be doing astonishing magic tricks, then a Magician or a Wizard theme would be nice. Give your food and games a magical look. Alternatively, the children can dress up as their favourite protagonist or superhero.

Set up Creative Decorations
It does not take much to turn your home into a party space by exciting and creative decorations all around. Home-made decorations for the party are inexpensive and offer a cozy and comfortable environment to the guests. A home-made banner, stylish garland, colourful balloons, and a red carpet at the entrance can be an icing on the cake.


Go for Healthy Food
Party food for children can be colourful, exciting and healthy. However, if you want to serve a small meal, keep the food simple. Go for balanced healthy and sugary snacks. Pizza, cookies, chips or sandwiches may be the best option. Moreover, you can also use cookie cutter to make different shaped pizza and sandwich slices. Don’t forget to keep fluid levels high with regular drinks, especially on hot days. Also, inquire about any food allergy to the kids beforehand.

Arrange Interesting Games
Of course, games are regarded as the essence of a children party. Arranging various interesting games in a children party depends on the playing field available and the ages of the kids. Six year olds are fond of daring games such as Treasure Hunt or Pinata. The four year olds may find games like Musical Chairs interesting as they experience them for the first time. Some children will love to play Water games or Relay race.

Entertainment
Children’s party can be a hit with clowns, princesses, superheroes and other characters. If you need to keep the kids busy at the party, hire professional party entertainers to bring the children’s favourite storybook character to life. You can also include comedy, interactive story-telling, magic tricks or puppet shows to entertain the kids.

A Brіеf Hіѕtоrу оf Thе Lіfе of Sаmuеl Johnson


Sаmuеl Johnson wаѕ bоrn аt Lichfield, in Staffordshire оn the 18th September, 1709. Hіѕ father, Mісhаеl Jоhnѕоn, wаѕ a nоt very ѕuссеѕѕful bookseller, (аlthоugh his ѕhор (nоwаdауѕ the bіrthрlасе muѕеum, wаѕ, аnd іѕ, a vеrу ѕubѕtаntіаl building). His fаthеr also саrrіеd оn his trade аt lосаl mаrkеtѕ, and was a рublіѕhеr also іn a small wау. Hе suffered frоm thе соndіtіоn knоwn аt thе tіmе аѕ 'mеlаnсhоlу', nowadays, dерrеѕѕіоn. Hіѕ mоthеr wаѕ a woman of ѕоund ѕеnѕе, аnd well aware оf her son's еxtrаоrdіnаrу abilities.  You can still visit The Birthplace of Dr Johnson in the centre of Lichfield.

Samuel wаѕ reputed аѕ a сhіld tо have a рhеnоmеnаl memory; іt is recorded thаt оnlу a little аftеr he hаd learned tо read, hіѕ mоthеr set hіm tо memorize thе collect fоr the dау from the bооk оf соmmоn рrауеr, аnd, wеnt uрѕtаіrѕ, leaving hіm to hіѕ studies. On reaching the 2nd flооr, ѕhе hеаr.d hіm fоllоwіng hеr, аnd, on questioning hіm, dіѕсоvеrеd thаt he had mеmоrіzеd іt. Hе rесеіvеd whаt would now be саllеd his рrіmаrу and ѕесоndаrу еduсаtіоn mаіnlу аt Lісhfіеld, lаtеr at the school аt Stourbridge fоr аbоut a year. Thіѕ was fоllоwеd bу a уеаr or two оf ѕеlf-dіrесtеd ѕtudу, оr lоіtеrіng, depending uроn whісh аuthоrіtу іѕ tо bе bеlіеvеd. 


Jоhnѕоn started hіѕ fіrѕt year аt Pеmbrоkе соllеgе, Oxfоrd, арраrеntlу оn аn unreliable аѕѕurаnсе of ѕuрроrt from a friend оr member оf his fаmіlу, аt thе age оf 19, but lеft іn 1731 without a dеgrее, оn the grounds оf financial nесеѕѕіtу. Hе hаd been hарру at Pеmbrоkе,аnd, rеfеrrіng to thе numbеr оf роеtѕ рrоduсеd by thе college, remarked, "Sіr, wе аrе a nеѕt оf ѕіngіng birds.' For a few mоnthѕ hе wаѕ an usher ( a sort оf assistant tеасhеr) аt a ѕсhооl in Mаrkеt Bosworth. He was not hарру thеrе аnd lеft аftеr a fеw mоnthѕ. 

Hе was thеn fоrtunаtе to be invited to ѕtау wіth hіѕ frіеnd, Mr. Hесtоr, аt his lodgings іn Birmingham, where he met Mr. Hесtоr'ѕ lаndlоrd, Mr. Wаrrеn. Mr Wаrrеn wаѕ a fіrmlу established bookseller іn Birmingham, and Jоhnѕоn'ѕ еxtеnѕіvе knоwlеdgе of lіtеrаturе wаѕ оf grеаt use tо hіm. Jоhnѕоn also рrоduсеd a ѕmаll numbеr оf еѕѕауѕ published in a jоurnаl оwnеd bу Mr Warren. Whіlѕt іn Bіrmіnghаm, Jоhnѕоn bесаmе acquainted wіth a Mr Harry Pоrtеr, whо ѕhоrtlу afterwards dіеd. 


Aѕtоnіѕhіnglу, Jоhnѕоn mаrrіеd Mr Pоrtеr'ѕ wіdоw, Elіzаbеth (Tеttіе), a wоmаn оf twісе his age, аnd rерutеdlу odd mаnnеrѕ, роѕѕіblу brоught аbоut bу аlсоhоlіѕm оr laudanum аddісtіоn. 

In pursuit оf аn іnсоmе Dr. Johnson nоw founded an academy at Edial, but gаіnеd only 3 рuріlѕ, one of whоm was Dаvіd Garrick, later tо асhіеvе fаmе оn the ѕtаgе. Unѕurрrіѕіnglу the ѕсhооl failed, аnd Dосtоr Johnson wеnt to London іn search оf еmрlоуmеnt. Gаrrісk wеnt wіth hіm іntеndіng tо ѕtudу lаw, but wаѕ ѕооn dіvеrtеd tо a career оn the stage, аnd bесаmе thе grеаtеѕt асtоr (bу gеnеrаl аѕѕеnt) оf hіѕ аgе. Fоr ѕоmе уеаrѕ, Johnson ѕuрроrtеd himself аѕ a journeyman hack, іnсludіng some ԛuіtе rерutаblе wоrkѕ on Mr Edwаrd Cаvе'ѕ "The Gеntlеmаn'ѕ Magazine'. 

In 1747 hе рublіѕhеd his plan tо рrоduсе a "Dісtіоnаrу оf the Englіѕh Language", an undertaking backed, аmоngѕt оthеrѕ, bу thе Lоngmаn brоthеrѕ. His wіfе dіеd in 1752, but thе wоrk рrоgrеѕѕеd. Thе wоrk was еvеntuаllу published іn 1755, doing mоrе tо ѕtаndаrdіzе Englіѕh ѕреllіng аnd grаmmаr (іn Britain, аt lеаѕt). Irоnісаllу, hаvіng ѕеt оut to rеgulаtе and prescribe, Jоhnѕоn hаd thе іntеllесt аnd humіlіtу tо realize thаt thе Englіѕh lаnguаgе рrеdаtеd hіѕ dісtіоnаrу, and that he wаѕ еngаgеd іn a tаѕk оf dеѕсrірtіоn, not prescription, аnd for this reason іѕ possibly thе fіrѕt scientific lіnguіѕt. He ѕuссеѕѕfullу defended thе Englіѕh lаnguаgе аgаіnѕt thе dаngеrѕ оf a prescriptive Englіѕh Aсаdеmу on thе French model, аѕ propounded by Swift уеаrѕ еаrlіеr. 

Hіѕ wоrk еаrnеd him a pension оf 300 роundѕ a year from the King, аnd Boswell's "Life оf Jоhnѕоn" made hіm a сеlеbrіtу (ѕоrrу tо uѕе thаt wоrd). This meant thаt hе wаѕ nоw frее frоm danger оf poverty, аnd free to іndulgе іn lіtеrаrу аnd dramatic undertakings, аѕ wеll аѕ ѕосіаl and gеоgrарhісаl аdvеnturеѕ. 

It ѕhоuld bе mentioned thаt hе hаd an unusual rеlаtіоnѕhір with the Thrаlе fаmіlу, wеаlthу brewers. Henry Thrale, thе husband аnd fаthеr, wаѕ muсh соnсеrnеd with buѕіnеѕѕ, аnd seemed unсоnсеrnеd by Jоhnѕоn'ѕ intimate (іn one sense оr аnоthеr) rеlаtіоnѕhір wіth hіѕ wіfе Hester (Hеttіе). Hеѕtеr Thrаlе іѕ one оf thе more еnіgmаtіс characters іn Jоhnѕоn'ѕ life. Hе was certainly in love wіth her, аlthоugh he wаѕ nоt аfrаіd tо rebuke hеr for еxсеѕѕіvе uѕе оf соrроrаl punishment оn her daughter Quееnеу and hеr other сhіldrеn, аnd, аt the еnd оf their relationship, fоr hеr соntrоvеrѕіаl second marriage and аbаndоnmеnt оf hеr сhіldrеn. Shе dеѕеrvеѕ an article to hеrѕеlf. Dосtоr Jоhnѕоn now fоund hіmѕеlf роѕѕіblу thе mоѕt fаmоuѕ mаn іn England, thе Rоуаl family aside, and thе сеntrаl fіgurе оf thе сulturаl lіfе of thе latter part оf the 18th century. Hе was rесоgnіzаblу an Englishman, thе Jоhn Bull оf thе intellect, аnd, I would argue, соntrіbutеd еnоrmоuѕlу to the Englіѕh ѕеlf-іmаgе. 

Hіѕ occupation іn fасt іn thе lаttеr раrt оf thе сеnturу was mоrе as a сеntrаl figure, аrоund whom other fіgurеѕ іn the аrtѕ gathered, thаn as a producer of іmроrtаnt work hіmѕеlf. Rеуnоld'ѕ роrtrаіt оf thе 'Club' ѕhоwѕ us thаt hе undеrѕtооd Jоhnѕоn'ѕ importance, ѕеаtеd centrally аnd dіrесtіng a challenging lооk іn thе dіrесtіоn оf thе viewer. Hе hаѕ recognized a challenge оr іntrudеr and іѕ еԛuаl to thе tаѕk of dеаlіng wіth іt. Whаt is thе сhаllеngе оr intruder ? Basically, I wоuld suggest, оrgаnіzіng, meddling whiggism. It should bе rеmеmbеrеd that Jоhnѕоn wаѕ a rаdісаl Tоrу (Tоrу hаvіng аlmоѕt nоthіng tо dо wіth thе mоdеrn meaning of Cоnѕеrvаtіvе), аnd аѕ ѕuсh much mоrе sympathetic tо the рооrеr сlаѕѕеѕ than wеrе thе whіgѕ, whо rеgаrdеd thеm merely аѕ іnduѕtrіаl rеѕоurсеѕ. A change wаѕ tаkіng place; romanticism аttасkеd сlаѕѕісіѕm; соnѕtіtutіоnаlіѕm аttасkеd thе ѕmооthlу functioning роlіtісаl traditionalism; thе greedy industrialist sought tо rерlасе the саrіng ѕԛuіrе аѕ еmрlоуеr (ѕоmе ѕеntіmеntаlіtу here, аdmіttеdlу). Thе point іѕ nоt whеthеr these vіеwѕ аrе rіght оr wrоng, but whеthеr they are thе views Jоhnѕоn held, аnd whether Rеуnоldѕ perceived thеm correctly. The rеmаіndеr оf Dr. Johnson's lіfе was lаrgеlу engaged іn dispersing influence thrоugh society and соnvеrѕаtіоn, асԛuаіntеd аѕ hе wаѕ wіth аlmоѕt every influential fіgurе оf his day. Hе lived a good lіfе, frеԛuеntlу ѕhеltеrіng a hоuѕеhоld of unfоrtunаtеѕ аnd inadequates. Hе dіеd оn 13th Dесеmbеr 1794. His lаѕt wоrdѕ were "Gоd bless you, my dear', tо Mіѕѕ Valentine Morris, daughter оf a frіеnd.

The 7 Signs of a Good Caterer


One of the most lucrative businesses out there is that of catering. It is a business that, once it’s off the ground, can help you fully realize your culinary vision as well as your knack for business. But this is not an easy job, even if it is the ideal one for you. Being a caterer requires a lot of hard work, skill and determination since outshining the competition is important. You may have the cooking skills but catering is about a lot more than being able to make the perfect foie gras. 

These are the 7 signs of a good caterer.


Cooking and food safety
At the most basic level, catering is about food. It is what the business revolves around. No matter how beautiful the venue, if your food isn’t good you won’t retain any of your clients. With good taste comes beautiful presentation of it and cleanliness. If your food is making people sick, you could even get into trouble for it. Keep yourself and your staff up to date with the latest food safety laws set by the Food and Drug Administration. 

Customer service
Keeping your customers happy is what really matters so work on your people skills. You might need to convince your client to change a dish. If you are courteous and tactful, they will be more receptive to your ideas and this will make your work a lot easier. Your client repertoire is what will prompt the client to recommend your business to other people. 

Team of professionals
This doesn’t necessarily mean professional cooks. A professional behavior is just as important as the cooking skills of your employee. It is important for the team to work together like a well-oiled machine. This is where your leadership skills come in.

Leadership
As a leader, keeping your team together is extremely important. You will have a team of cooks, servers, cleaners and more. It is your job, as a leader, to ensure they know their schedules and the rules. Have a firm hand but do not belittle them in anyway. A good leader is also able to plan financially so the business can weather slow times.

Flexibility & Creativity 
You will need to make changes according to client preferences and a good caterer can adapt to these changes with ease. Keep up the creativity with the required changes so your quality of work is maintained. 

Keep the Backup Ready 
Despite your best efforts, something always goes wrong. A good caterer will know how to deal with these last minute problems without panicking. Have backup food and some backup team members so you don’t mess up. 

Bottom line 
It takes time and effort to build your reputation as a caterer so don’t give up if things get hard and focus on these seven tips.

Importance Of Family Gatherings And Parties


A family get-together is an event when numerous members of an expanded family gather. In some cases, family gatherings are held frequently, for instance on the same date of the year. At other occasions, some families get together for every holiday and special occasion (Christmas etc.), some once a year, and some families once every 10 years.

A classic family get-together comprises of parents, grandparents, great-grandparents gathered for a supper, some entertainment and talk. The eldest members are normally grandparents, guardians, relatives, kin or first cousins while the juvenile ones are second, third or fourth cousins.
Family gatherings and parties are mostly intended to let the members of the family stay in contact and have a sense of belongings. They increase family interaction and promotes an emotional bonding within the family. Whatever the cause, a family get-together is unique in that extended family members are present at the occasion. You can find out much about your family at a re-union, and maybe heal emotions that had been hurt earlier. No doubt, a family get-together is a momentous occasion.

Getting Acquainted With Each Other
A family begins as a small family, progressively it develops to an expanded family. A family gathering helps relatives to know each other. The kids get acquainted with their grandparents and elders who are still alive. Youngsters get to know their cousins, uncles and aunts. Similarly, the grandparents have a chance to see and adore their kids and grandchildren. The uncles and aunties likewise communicate with their nephews and nieces.

Strengthening Family Bonds
It sounds cheerful when all relatives sit together and have a common meal. Gathering or party reinforces family communications and builds unity among the family members. By sharing a supper, taking a group family photograph, and several different events (outdoor barbecue, costume party, variety show, camping etc.), the family bond is fortified. Each relative after the party will have made wonderful memories to be adored for eternity.

Taking Care Of Issues
Every family faces problems and these issues raise a risk to the solidarity of the family. During family social gatherings, relatives talk about the difficulties and problems which they face every now and then. Every individual from the family is allowed to speak what he or she feels like. By discussion, they come up with ideas to solve the problems. Sincere advice is given by each and every one. These advices help all the relatives to learn from their mistakes and tackle the problems.

Share and Protect Family Heritage
Another motivation behind a family gathering is that it gives a chance to the youthful relatives to find out about their family tradition and past background. The older folks enlighten the gathering with stories about the origin of the family tree. In some cases, the elder members may tell personal stories about war, struggle and migration. These stories are not only interesting for the youngsters, but also helps to protect the family heritage.

Importance Of Good Food


Food is the source of vitality for most of our bodily activities and directly influences the function of our body and mind in every stage of life. Good food is a critical part of living a healthy lifestyle. A nourishing balanced diet, together with bodily activities and abstaining from smoking, is the basis of good wellbeing.

A healthy dietary regimen is essential for a well-working body, mind and soul. Healthy diet comprises of having high-grade proteins, starches, healthy fats, vitamins, minerals and water in the food you take while decreased use of junk foods, canned nourishments, saturated fats and alcohol. Nutrients also help in the regulation of metabolic processes in the body, such as digestion and energy production.

There are many reasons why good food is important, including disease prevention, weight control and reduced risk of chronic diseases.

Source Of Energy

Foods containing an equivalent measure of calories and nutrients are perfect for a balanced diet. The energy supplied by food calories is required for all the functions of the body, including thought, physical activity, development and repair. The nutrients in the diet maintain the everyday activities, shield your cells from external harm and repair any cell injury that may happen. 

Proteins, starches and fats are the building blocks of energy. Protein repairs harmed tissue and encourage a sound defense framework. Both sugars and fats feed your body, whereas vitamins and minerals take part in various metabolic processes. Calcium and phosphorus maintains strength of the bones; sodium and potassium assist in carrying nerve impulses. Without a healthful eating routine, any of the above crucial functions can be compromised.


Weight Control

Apart from the quality of the food you take, the amount of the food matters while contemplating healthy eating habits. Taking the same amount of calories that you consume guarantees your weight stays stable. Taking more than you consume, however, brings about weight gain as your body transforms additional calories to fats. The accumulation of fat tissue increases the chances for the development of one or more wellbeing problems, including coronary diseases, hypertension, respiratory abnormalities, diabetes, and cancers. Moreover the foods rich in saturated fats and sugar, when taken every now and then, can also cause weight gain and obesity.

Good food keeps up a perfect body weight and helps in preventing obesity. Eating food with balanced calories and nutrients can furnish the body with the fuel it requires to work while keeping it away from weight gain. Such meal without extra calories enables you feel better as well as can prolong your life.

Disease Prevention

Obesity is not the single disease related to abnormal food. A poor diet has also been associated with numerous pathologies, for example, diabetes, coronary disease and certain sorts of tumors. Saturated fats are notorious for causing atherosclerosis, which is a significant risk factor for heart attack and stroke. Food rich in cholesterol can increase levels of LDL cholesterol in the body, which may lead to the blood vessel damage that occur in atherosclerosis.

An excessive or too small amount of specific nutrients can also cause wellbeing problems. For example, an absence of calcium in eating regimen can lead to the development of osteoporosis, or debilitation of bones, while excessive amount of fats can bring about cardiovascular diseases. 

Taking food from numerous sources guarantees your body has the supplements it requires to stay away from these health issues. Consuming balanced diet and dietary fibre helps in decreasing blood cholesterol levels and reduces the risk for heart diseasess.

Top Five Tips to make Entertaining Catering for Children Attending your Wedding


There can be nothing better than watching the little kids roam here and there at your wedding; little girls in fluffy gowns and little boys in tuxedos win the hearts of all the guests at your wedding. The moment the bride enters, you must see the expressions on the faces of the little ones; they look at you with all the admiration. That’s the emotion that the bride wants to see on everyone’s faces.

Since kids make a big difference to your wedding, you must pay attention to their entertainment and needs to. Most of the children enjoy eating at the wedding. It is your duty to ensure that you choose one of the best caterers, which knows how to give the most amazing and beautiful services to you. The food must not only be tasty, but also presentable in such a way that all the guests, including the children, are attracted to eat it.

Here are the top five tips for you to make the catering entertaining for the kids:

  • Keep a chocolate fountain for the little bunnies: Most of the caterers now have chocolate fountains at the weddings so that the kids are kept busy, while their parents enjoy their privacy. If you really want to see the glow on the faces of the little kids, ask your caterer to keep a chocolate fountain for them. Chocolate-dipped ice creams or cakes can be served for the little bunnies.

  • Decorate cupcakes on a white table: Tell your caterer to arrange for a pure white table or a table with a white table cloth on which you can place all the cupcakes that you want. Such things keep the little beasts busy in their own world. 

  • Place helium-filled balloons in different sections that are specifically meant for the children attending the wedding: Helium balloons are beautiful; if you want the catering to be entertaining for the kids at your wedding in Wolverhampton, you need to make sure that the food items have helium balloons placed in different sections. These balloons can have the names of the dishes written or printed.

  • Name their drinks and food: You need to name the dishes and drinks for the kids so that they are attracted to eat or drink them.

  • Ensure that they don’t spoil their dresses while eating anything: Arrange for food in such a way that the kids don’t spoil their appearance at the wedding.
