Get hooked on Pinterest!

Fellow event planners: listen UP!

I have heard many people lately asking, "What exactly IS Pinterest?!" Well here I am, to answer.

First, according to Pinterest.com, Pinterest is a visual pinboard/bulletin board. It lets you organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. People use pinboards to plan weddings, decorate homes, and organize their favorite recipes. Best of all, you can browse other people's boards to get inspiration. To get started, request an invite. [It is still an invite-only website, but ask me, I'll invite you!]

After people start using Pinterest, I've heard people ask how they ever lived without it, and ALSO- how people planned weddings before Pinterest. It is GREAT for wedding planning, but not just weddings- ALL events. Cocktail parties, weddings, baby showers, corporate events- you name it, Pinterest can help you if you set aside some "browsing time." Here is what a pinboard looks like:

When you join Pinterest, you have the option of installing a "Pin It" button to your internet browser, so you can pin things from any website, to the pinboard of your choice. People can then "like" or comment on your pins, and there begins the wonderful networking and idea sharing that is Pinterest! Happy pinning!
