A bachelorette party has been the wedding tradition from the olden days, where they gave a chance to the groom to sow his wild oats before marriage. Today, men and women celebrate bachelorette party with their close friends. Friends, who come for the bachelorette party bring presents that fits their interests and tastes. Choosing a present for the bachelorette party is fun. The wedding present depends on the party and the presents can be from tame to outrageous.

Anyone can hold a bachelorette party. Often the maid of honor and bride’s maid, who are very close to the bride, do the honors. Also any friend, relative or even coworkers can plan this part.

Guest for the party is mostly, the bride’s best friends and they are the one, who are the wedding guests. Shower guests are also invited to the wedding, but it is not necessary for bachelorette parties. It is also fine to invite co-workers or neighbors to the party. It is usually best to keep the party numbers small.

Bachelorette parties are more negligent and less orderly than traditional bridal showers. There are lots of ways to celebrate the party with a nice dinner at someone friend’s house or at a favorite restaurant or at a club.

The bachelorette party is actually not a gift party like a shower and presents are not necessary. It is a great opportunity for guests and friends to give the bride silly and ridiculous gifts or even sexy ones. Also, it can be a candy necklace, rings, glitter or a water gun. The goal is for the bride and the guests to just have fun before the wedding.

A veil can be given to a more reserved bachelorette. Veils that have complete silver leaves with a tiny plastic bride and groom at the center can make a present to a bachelorette party. Chocolates are another thing that can be given as a present to bachelorette party. Chocolates with different shapes and sizes can make the party more fun and tasty.

The gift need not be big or small. There is no compulsion to carry a gift. A gift that is taken is to cheer up the bride and help her enjoy every moment of her wedding celebration – a gift, which she can laugh at and cherish for many many years to come.

Numbers are essential tools used in the decision-making process in a company. Effective management entails the proper use of financial figures. But a lot of people have a fear of numbers stemming from unpleasant experiences with them during their school years. In order to understand and use numbers fear must be overcome first. Understanding will then follow; you will know what numbers can tell and what they can not tell. You will know when it is appropriate to use them and when it is not. You will come to know their limitations. Only at this time will figures become a useful tool for making decisions and enhancing the quality of decisions.

Decision-making in a company usually involves presenting financial figures to several managers, not all of whom have backgrounds in finance. The objectives of presenting financial figures to them are to educate and inform them of the financial performance of the company and convince them of future trends that must be considered in order to give direction to the company. This means that the presentation must be clear and comprehensible to the audience. It is not enough to print out financial statements, hand them out and discuss them line by line. This will not accomplish understanding and clarity. Doing away almost completely with figures and financial terms and steering away from technical discussions is tempting because it may seem easier and simpler, but neither will it achieve the goals of educating, informing and convincing the audience.

A better approach to presenting financial figures is to try to level the financial understanding of the attendees. He should put himself in their shoes and think of ways to incorporate financial terms and figures in his presentation in an easily understandable manner, explaining along the way the terms that can not be replaced with layman’s terms.

To prepare for the challenge of presenting financial figures, the presenter must first select the most critical numbers, making sure that all assumptions or basis for each are explained. Decide also which financial terms and concepts are needed for the presentation and how these terms can be explained in layman’s terms.

It is a good idea to develop an outline of your presentation showing the objectives, critical financial concepts or principles and critical figures. This will serve as a guide for the flow of your presentation.

The presentation should start with an explanation of the objectives. Tell the audience what you wish to accomplish and give them a summary of the discussion points. Establish clearly the importance of understanding the critical concepts that you are including in your presentation. Tell the audience why they need to understand the concepts. To explain the concepts, you can relate them to some familiar and ordinary situations. Analogies can be used as a tool to accomplish this. To maintain your audience’s attention throughout the presentation, keep referring back to your familiar and ordinary situations that you used as examples so that your audience can keep up with the story that you are trying to tell. Take short breaks to let the audience absorb the ideas and figures and encourage them to ask questions.

When you negotiate, what do you fear? Do you see the value in fear and construct a plan to combat it? Even those that would be king can be susceptible to fear, but fear serves a purpose in our lives. Thus, when negotiating it behooves you to recognize the fears that may exist, but it also behooves you to put plans in place to combat them. By doing so, you’ll alleviate fear and replace it with negotiation strategies to lead you to a successful negotiation outcome.

Sometimes we’re more fearful of situations than we should be because of related memories we have to the current situation, related to what’s occurred to us in the past. To combat fear in your negotiations more effectively consider the following ideas.

1. First take note of your physical body and mind. I started with this factor because it plays an important role in how you perceive and combat fear. Realize, when you’re tiered, bogged down by and with thoughts that don’t serve you, you’re more susceptible to falling prey to fear. Make sure you can think properly by having the proper amount of rest and nutrients to do so.
2. Identify the source of your fear as it relates to the negotiation. Are you afraid you won’t come out ahead? Do you think the opposing negotiator is stronger in resources and/or expertise? Do you feel there’s not enough time to negotiate? Whatever your source of fear, identify it. By doing so you’ll have a point of knowing what’s at the source of your feelings. Then you can create a plan to address it.
3. Once you’ve identified the source(s) of your fear, consider how you can use it as a source of motivation. Fear will only have a debilitating influence to the degree you allow it to.
4. During the planning stages of your negotiation address the what-if scenarios from which fear may lurk. Allow it to emerge. Not only will doing so prepare you for possible deviations you may have to address and/or take during the negotiation, it will also prepare you for such occurrences. That should serve to alleviate the tension causing the fear.
5. At the end of the negotiation, assess what occurred related to the fear you had going into the negotiation. Were the issues that initially caused you consternation raised? If so, how did you address them? Were You more prepared to do so as the result of planning for them during the planning stage of the negotiation? By assessing what did and did not occur, you can use the thought process that you engaged in prior to, during, and after the negotiation to be your guide when fear crops up again in future negotiations.

Understand that fear is a protection or debilitating factor in our lives. Thus, it’s what you do with fear that determines what influence it’ll have on you. If you use fear to motivate you to pursue the direction that puts you on the path to a successful negotiation outcome, you will have used it wisely. Be aware of the potential it has to debilitate you and control it. Once you reconcile the role of fear you’ll have the yin and yang of it under control and everything will be right with the world.

Remember, you’re always negotiating!
