Yes wine at only $2.42 per bottle complete with your own private label. This deal is available at Groupon.

When event planning, great savings can be had using coupon sites and taking advantage of some of the deals.

In this case no only is the wine only $2.42 per bottle but custom labels can be applied. Yes I know that down in the Niagara Wine District you can get custom labels but you will be hard pressed to find prices under $10.00 per bottle.

Check out Groupon for this and other event planning savings when you plan your next event.

A holiday party is a great opportunity for employees and clients to relax and to get to know each other better. It can also land the company in legal trouble.

The source of the problem is usually alcohol. A staff member or client or other guest has too much to drink and starts groping or making unwanted advances toward an employee. Or someone has a car accident or falls down on the way home. A company can be held legally liable in each case.

While I was living in Arizona for a few years, I was introduced to a lovely Hispanic Christmas tradition – Luminarias. Rows of simple, brown paper bags are illuminated by small candles, and weighted down with sand (or gravel, small stones, marbles, popcorn, cat litter . . . almost anything that will add some weight and keep the bag from being picked up by the wind will do).

PS I use white bleached kraft bags but they are now politically incorrect but I bought 50,000 before bleached paper was an issue.
