Here Comes the Well-Prepared Bride

Getting married can be very stressful. There are so many things to consider and pieces of the event to coordinate.  Certainly, you have to consider the obvious items like the dress, the flowers, the band and the bridesmaids outfits.  You also need to think about the less obvious items such as the order for walking down the aisle, the religious significance to attach to your marriage ceremony, etc.

One easy way to deal with all of these issues and to keep your sanity is with a bridal magazine.  From the time that you are engaged (or perhaps before!) you can get a subscription from National Magazine Exchange, or another source, to all sorts of bridal magazines.  These magazines help you to outline all of the important items, they offer checklists, they provide suggestions and so much more.

And, once you've gotten married, and no longer need those bridal magazines, you can switch your subscription.  National Magazine Exchange has a unique service that allows you to switch the magazines you receive, while maintaining your basic subscription. Your mother would probably love to see you switching to a pregnancy magazine or a parenting one!  Perhaps you'd prefer something about recipe planning and trip enjoyment.

Magazines are great for helping you to plan the big event - and then to enjoy the rest of your life together!

Car Trouble No More

Whether you’re in the market for a new car, or you just love browsing, there are oodles of car magazines worth enjoying.  Car magazines offer great suggestions for fixing car troubles, for shopping for the right new or used car, and so much more.  In addition, they are a great form of entertainment with their colorful pictures and their entertaining advertisements.

Whether you enjoy picking up a new magazine at the 7-11, or you want the convenience of home delivery from a company like National Magazine Exchange, you’ll find great entertainment with a car magazine of your choice! 

Art Projects with Magazines

A magazine subscription is really the gift that just keeps on giving.  Why?  Well, because when you purchase a magazine subscription from National Magazine Exchange or another company, you get to enjoy reading it.  Then, you get to use the magazines for all sorts of fun projects.

One great idea is to cut your old magazines into strips and then to weave the strips together for a colorful placemat!  Help your kids who are learning to read to have fun by cutting out all sorts of words from the magazines and then having them make crazy poetry.  Kids love this activity as it is creative and engaging – and they won’t even notice that you are actually practicing their reading with them.

If you have a real little one at home, you can create an alphabet book or an animal book.  Cut out alphabet letters from the magazine, or bright colors, shapes, animals, and more and make a colorful book for them to read through and enjoy.

NME Lending Hand to Haiti

In recent charitable news, the National Magazine Exchange is doing its part for the relief efforts in Hait.  They created a great fundraiser by sponsoring a "Jeans Day."  This means that anyone who contributed to the Haiti relief efforts was then given permission to wear jeans to work for a day.

All of the proceeds that were collected went to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund and over 250 employees got to kick back in their jeans on Monday, January 25th at National Magazine Exchange.  A win-win situation for everyone involved!

As the CFO of NME Harold Hale explained, “The employees of National Magazine Exchange are proud to support the tremendous work done by the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund in their relief efforts.”
