Want to throw a party your guests won't forget (in a good way)? I will share four secrets that will make any birthday party, corporate party, anniversary party, retirement party, or reunion a success. While they may seem obvious, you'd be surprised how many people are unaware of these pointers.
1. Welcome your guests and honor the occasion. You can greet your guests personally or speak in front of them from a stage. I recommend doing this within the first 60 to 90 minutes of the party. Remind everyone why you have gathered together on this day, and thank your guests for coming, especially those who have traveled a long way or made some sacrifices in order to attend. This is also a good opportunity to pay tribute and perhaps even toast the celebrants. If you don't want to do the welcome yourself, you can ask your MC or DJ to do it.
2. Plan enough activities to keep the party lively. Most people organize their events around the food service. They play background music while the guests are eating and dance music during or after dessert. Some party planners insert activities in between, such as candle lighting ceremonies to honor special guests, food blessings, toasts to the celebrants, short video presentations, or special readings. A variety of activities will make the event more fun. Also see to it that they are appropriate for the occasion.

Antique furniture means so much more than just having a beautiful chair to sit in or table at which to eat. Each piece of expertly-crafted antique furniture has a story to tell.
These pieces were made by hand and constructed with care by people who had a real passion for what they were making. To the craftsman, that antique chair was more than just a place to sit, the chest was more than just a place for storage.
These pieces were meant to bring comfort, joy, and beauty to the home. So to see a piece of antique furniture neglected or crumbling is a disservice to the piece and the artist who created it. Fortunately, even the most worn items can be brought back to their former glory when entrusted to the hands of a professional.
Why Restore an Antique?
You might have an antique piece of furniture that you purchased recently or you might have something that has been in storage for years. Trying to decide whether or not to spend your time and money restoring these pieces can often lead to putting off the project over and over.
However, having an old piece of furniture repaired or restored can often be a very rewarding decision. Period pieces have a uniqueness that simply cannot be reproduced with modern furniture. They can sometimes take on a personality all their own.
They may serve a decorative purpose for many, but they can also provide an historical twist to your designs. Whether it is the antique desk in the library or an old oak chest in the bedroom, these pieces bring a flair all their own to a home.
Choosing the Right Restorer
There are plenty of furniture repair options even in the local Raleigh market. The one significant difference between these choices is experience. While many companies might claim to have years or decades of experience repairing furniture, they may not have enough experience with antiques to restore them properly.
An antique which has been improperly restored can end up being worth less than one which has not been restored at all, so finding a company like Capital Restoration, whose owner John Allen has worked restoring museum-quality pieces, is a must.
Not only can Capital Restoration restore your piece to like new condition, you will have peace of mind knowing that they will restore or repair the piece properly so that it can last for many more years.
Antique furniture and decor not only bring personality to a room, but they can be very valuable as well. Whether the piece is worth a good deal of money or just valuable for sentimental reasons, having it restored properly can help ensure the item lasts for future generations to enjoy.
When you do decide to have your piece restored or repaired, just
remember that finding the right company can make all the difference.
With a one-of-a-kind piece like an antique or family heirloom, you want
to make sure that you only put your trust in the most capable hands.

Natural green diamonds are extremely rare to find and are very expensive. For this reason they are ideal for those looking for an investment. The truth is that this is true for a lot of natural fancy colored diamonds.
Do green diamonds come in different shades?
Green diamonds can vary from a light pastel green, which is called Fancy Light Green or Fancy Green, to the rarer Intense Green and Vivid Green diamonds. Naturally investors are interested in the rarer green diamonds.
In the course of a standard year there could only be one new pure Fancy Intense Green Diamond and Vivid Green diamond discovered. The majority of green diamonds contain a yellowish tint that dilutes the greenish tinge; however, even these are difficult to come across.
How do diamonds naturally become green?
For a diamond to develop the green color it must be in contact with alpha particles in uranium compounds, also, sometimes percolating groundwater can cause the color change. The diamond has to have exposure to these types of elements for a number of years in order for the rock to become green. This is one of the reasons the green diamonds is so hard to find.
On account of the scarcity of this color shops generally offer synthetic diamonds, rather than natural green diamonds. If you are looking to purchase a green diamond, either for pleasure or for investment it is crucial that you examine the diamond documentation and be certain that it states that the diamond color is "natural". A fancy color diamond certificate always states the color origin of the stone.
Famous Green Diamonds
The Natural Green Diamonds named The Dresden Diamond is very well-known. It is egg-shaped and has a slight grey tinge. This stone weighs approximately 41 carats. The reason that we don't know the exact weight of the Dresden Diamond along with its measurements is due to the fact that in the course of its gemological exam in 1988 it was not taken out from its mounting. The examiners feared that extracting the diamond from its setting would cause damage.
The particular diamond's history has been documented for over 250 years. There are indications that it originated in Golconda, India, which was home to the first diamond mines.
As mentioned above, because of the fact that the majority of shops do
not own a natural green diamond as a consequence of its scarcity, if you
are expecting a natural diamond then be sure you examine the
certificate. Green diamonds, naturally, would make a terrific treasure
for the one you love.
