Wedding invitations. How about a personalized celebrity greeting for your wedding?
Send a wedding invitation to the president and first lady, and they just might come celebrate with you! More likely, they will simply mail you and yours a lovely (and official) letter of congratulations!
President and Mrs. Barack Obama
The White House
Greetings Office RM. 39
1600 Pennsylvania Ave
Washington, DC 20500
Add to that some official best wishes from the happiest places on earth, Disneyworld and Disneyland and you’ve got some cool décor for your guestbook or gift table.
Mickey and Minnie Mouse Mickey and Minnie Mouse
The Walt Disney Company The Magic Kingdom

Burbank, CA 91521 Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830
Sending to specific Disney characters (for example Cinderella) doesn’t increase your responses; you still just get a Disney greeting. Also, we hear the California “Mickey and Minnie” are a little faster to respond than their Florida counterparts..
And if you have some extra invitations, why not simply send one along to YOUR favorite celeb? Neil Patrick Harris? Amy Poehler? Drake? Betty White? Luke Bryan? Jennifer Lawrence? Jimmy Fallon? Grumpy Cat?
We aren’t sure your fav will attend or even send a greeting, but, hey, you never know. Here’s a website to find the right mailing address, and we’ll keep our fingers crossed for you! www.fanmail.biz
If you favorite celebrity can’t make your wedding, maybe she will surprise you and come to your Columbus bridal shower! Look at this!
Scioto Reserve Country Club. We were thrilled to be part of Leslie and Tom’s wedding celebration this past weekend at Scioto Reserve Country Club, located just north of Columbus in Powell, Ohio. Not only is Scioto Reserve gorgeous, but the food and service are truly exceptional. Also, working with the delightful Ann Marie Orren and the Scioto Reserve staff is the best, because we know all the details will be taken care of, and everything will run perfectly.
Leslie and Tom wanted to highlight the warm and inviting look of the ballroom, so they choose our Night Music uplighting option to add splashes of color throughout the venue. Scioto Reserve has such a modern and sophisticated feel that includes an inviting bar area, and a beautiful outdoor wedding garden. (And we don’t know anywhere else in town with an such awesome groomsman’s lounge complete with a pool table.)
This was a party that no one wanted to end, that’s for sure. Thanks Leslie and Tom, and congratulations! Thanks to Lindsay at Photography by L for the dancing photo above.

Columbus DJs love Pharrell! It seems like Pharrell Williams was everywhere on our dance floor this year. Get Lucky and Blurred Lines, and now the Oscar nominated Happy … Columbus DJs current fave! Just imagine being a part of all of that by rocking the one and only giant hat that Pharrell wore at the Grammy Awards (and wears in the Happy video). Someone is going to own this – why not you?
And we are psyched to listen to his new CD, being released March 3 “G I R L”. What do you think the best tracks will be?

Short North Public Art – A Fun Tour
Touring the Short North public art is a blast! Just imagine this for a fun date, engagement or wedding picture locations, or as an unforgettable “to-do” suggestion for your visiting friends and family.
We all know that Columbus is cool, and the Short North is one of the reasons why. We can’t wait to check out all of the new public mural art featured on 11 brick facades along High Street in the Short North Arts District.
Here’s more info for you to share and save: This link at tells all about the initiative, the art, and artists.
Last year, one of our favorites was Summer Spray. During it’s 11-week run, a 1,300-square-foot mural was created outdoors on West Goodale Street, between High Street and Park Street, by 10 local artist over a six-week period. The artists also showcased their work in an exhibition space for 10 weeks in the Short North Arts District. Click here to read about the participating artists and view the live mural-making.
Our new favorite is Pride Circles by Lisa McLymont.
It’s located at Stonewall Columbus, 1160 N High St.
A first-of-its-kind public art installation now has a home in the Short North Arts District. “Pride Circles” by local artist Lisa McLymont is the first ever permanent public art installation to be installed in the public right-of-way in the City of Columbus on a sidewalk where the public is invited to traverse the art as they pass.

BuckeyeThon!
BuckeyeThon 2014 at The Ohio State University’s Ohio Union.
It was a super successful dance marathon as students from The Ohio State University raised over $767,000 to benefit the Hematology/Oncology Department of Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus. We were excited for Stephanie Ransom who was able to get her movie star friend, Kristen Bell (yes, THE Kristen Bell) to donate to the cause that was held at the university’s Ohio Union this past weekend.
Nationwide Children’s Hospital is part of the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and treats all children regardless of a family’s ability to pay. Although BuckeyeThon has ended this year, you can still donate to the cause here:
START A FUNDRAISER
Help make miracles happen for local sick and injured kids in your community by creating your own fundraiser! You’ll feel good knowing that your celebration or event is helping heal even the tiniest of patients.
UPDATED!
By participating in the Dance Marathon movement, you are helping CMN Hospitals address the urgent needs brought on by the pandemic. Pediatric COVID-19 hospitalizations have risen to record levels as omicron races across the U.S. and the recent surge in childhood admissions is just the latest way to stretch hospitals beyond their limits. Emergency departments and intensive care units are stretched with fewer medical staff to care for the sickest patients. On top of treating kids with COVID-19, children’s hospitals continue to care for everything from broken bones to cancer, and all the moments in between.
Now more than ever, kids can’t wait.
