There are many ways to make a wedding more memorable. One of them is to come up with giveaways and keepsakes that are striking and unique. A great souvenir would be one that reflects your relationship and personality as a couple.

Guests also rave about mementos that are useful and not merely decorative. Of course, personalized favors are always appreciated. Try incorporating a photo, a drawing, or a handwritten poem or message into your chosen item for a more dramatic effect.

I recently attended my aunt’s wedding and she had these fabulous personalized wedding favors for all of the bridesmaids.  I took note of everything she had set out, only to find out that they came from Elegantshowerfavors.com.  When I browsed the site, I was amazed at the selection and the prices.  I’m not certain when my boyfriend and I will get married, but I have the address of this site written in my wallet so I won’t ever forget.

One way of saying “thank you” after your wedding is through the wedding toasts that are performed during the reception. The best man will give a toast and he offers it to the bride. The maid of honor will give a toast to the groom and the father of the bride will make a toast to the newly-weds.

The couple, in turn, will have the opportunity to be the ones to say “thank you” in what is called the “return toast”. Since the groom and the bride are not allowed to initiate a toast in their honor, the return toast enables them to offer a toast to those people whom they would like to thank such as the parents of either the groom or the bride or both, the wedding entourage and even to all the guests who witnesses their formal entry into the life of a married couple. The wedding toast is done with gorgeous glasses hand picked buy the bride and groom.

One great way to save money on your big day is to combine your centerpieces with your party favors. Centerpieces are a main part of your decorations and can have all sorts of functions. From the traditional arrangement of flowers, to a more personal choice to wishing wells surrounded by pens for guests to make well wishes to you, to a way to entertain children, centerpieces make a statement about your wedding and can make you and your guests enjoy the day more.

Give your centerpieces a little bit of thought and planning. You don’t want the flowers wilting or chocolate melting. I once even heard a horror story of someone who decided to combine votive candles under a tiny goldfish bowl-you can just imagine how that turned out.

The Right Touches For a Perfect Spring Wedding Theme

Spring is a time of rebirth and renewal – a perfect time for the new adventure that a marriage brings. Yet in the race for most popular time of year to get married, spring is a distant third place behind summer and autumn. This is good news if you’re planning a spring wedding, as more top-notch vendors will be available, and you may be able to get discounted rates, especially on sites and travel.

If you’re considering a spring wedding, start off by thinking about your favorite parts of the season. Is it crocuses poking up through snow? Perhaps you’ll want to have a wedding early in the season, and offer the respite of floral abundance and warmth when guests come in from the cold. If it’s the emerging sunshine, choose bright colors and May weather. Here are some ideas to get you started on planning your spring wedding:

Ideas and Tips for a Magical Winter Wedding Theme

In the movies, everyone seems to get married in June. But a winter wedding can be terribly glamorous, cinematic and magical. With the right elements, your winter wedding will be a wonderland.

Attire for Your Winter Wedding
Think about you and your sweetie in the elegant look of old Hollywood; the groom in tails, and the bride in a white long silk dress with a white fur or faux fur wrap. Evoke the season with “ice” –diamond or diamond-like jewelry. 90% of wedding dresses are strapless or sleeveless, but that’s not so practical for a bride who wants to take pictures outside, or needs to walk any distance. Look for wraps, shrugs, and capes, or dramatic coats. I’ve always loved the look of a bride in a white dress and a large red shawl, huddled against her groom who has a red boutonnière.

And don’t forget your bridesmaids! An attractive wrap to wear on the day of your wedding and beyond makes a great bridesmaid present.

The destination wedding reception theme is growing in popularity each year. Many brides and wedding planners realize that basing their event’s decor around a particular locale or setting helps them finalize details and more easily make decisions on decorations, food, favors, and especially atmosphere. Destinations can be real, for example Paris or Aruba; they can be abstract, for example beach themed receptions or Asian-influenced events; or, they can be based on a particular interest or pastime for the bride and groom. For example, I once worked a wedding reception in which the bride made everything fairytale – there were fairy statuettes at each table and the bridesmaids were dressed in gowns suggesting woodland nymphs. The guests were given candles tied with silver ribbon as a favor, symbolic of a light leading them through enchanted woods.

When planning a destination wedding, a lot of ambiance is communicated through the selection of favors. Later, these same mementos serve to remind the guests of the fun and splendor of the reception. Favors can do more than just communicate gratitude – in many ways, they are the souvenir of the reception, the reminder given to guests to commemorate their time at your festivities. As such, the favor assumes a special importance, and should be selected with consideration and care by the bride and wedding planner alike.
