GOODBYE - Our Closing Down Sale

goodbye

It is with a fond farewell that In Good Company says goodbye. 

Our online store will be closing on the 1st August and our shops in Cape Town (on Saturday 20th August) and in Johannesburg (on Saturday 27th August) will be closing down for good. We have for the past seven years had the best time helping our customers have a good time - and we wish you a future filled with many more and that you will always be "in good company".

Our closing down sale will start on Monday 1st August - and everything will be on sale at 50% off. Plus, all of our furniture will be on sale and in Johannesburg all our hire goods will be up for grabs as the sales price is the hire price.

For those customers, who have placed online orders, Kerry will be in touch early next week. And for those customers who have placed hire orders, Jeanre will be in touch to arrange on a first come, first served basis the purchase of the goods.

If you have any questions feel free to get in touch.

cheers, my dear!

BRIDESMAID GUIDE TO THE WEDDING DAY

This seems obvious, but you'd be surprised how many people forget this extra nicety. Before the wedding chaos ensues, take a moment to congratulate the bride (and to tell her how beautiful she looks. Better yet express sentiments by having a mini toast with mimosas: a cocktail easily made by combining equal parts champagne and chilled citrus fruit juice, usually orange juice.

are you ok?

BRIDESMAID GUIDE TO THE WEDDING DAY

During the preparations, ask if the bride needs anything. Does she want any food, water, an umbrella for the sun? Throughout the day, have a few bottles of mineral water on hand, and some straws to keep the lipstick intact!

WEDDING DAY IDEAS

Wedding days can be long, so set up a pretty table close by with a variety of healthy options for a light breakfast. This will ensure that the bridal party has enough energy to make it all the way to the last dance. Line the table with finger foods such as Greek yoghurt with granola, savoury quiches, croissants with salmon and cream cheese, mini muffins, and a cheese board with fruit and nuts. The whole grain-fat combo will energise the bride without bloat and help fight off nausea that could come with pre-wedding butterflies. Remind the bride to eat throughout the day and keep snacks on hand that way she will keep going and glowing. 

GOOD LOOKS - Wedding Day Tips for Bridesmaids

getting ready 
THE BRIDESMAIDS GUIDE TO THE WEDDING DAY 

Ask the bride what time she'd like you to be at the wedding site and be there early. Provided no other arrangements have been made, arrive with your hair and makeup done, all dressed and ready to walk down the aisle. The bride is counting on you and does not need the extra stress of wondering where you are or that you are not ready. This therefore enables you to perform your next task, which is to assist the bride in getting into her dress and makeup, and to help the other bridesmaids on where to go and timing, especially if they show up late or need help getting ready.
