Friday, April 16th, 2010

What better way to remember your best friend’s wedding then with personalized pint glasses. These are definitely unique partying gifts that your guests can receive at the wedding reception. Lot’s of people enjoy giving out and receiving these keepsakes because not only will they give you a good memory of the day but they will also be useful for the future. You can stick them in the freezer and remember them every time you open up the door and use them when friends come over. You will always have cold glasses to serve. But these are not the only reasons why pints are a favorite gift when it comes to wedding favors.

Personalized glasses will definitely make your wedding day special and unique. Guests think that these glasses are adorable especially when you custom design them with pictures of the bride and groom along with a personal message from the couple and the date of the wedding. Your wedding will be spectacular with these pints as everyone will use them in their homes and think back to this special day.

You will also be surprised that these pints are very economical to purchase. You may not have a large budget to spend on keepsakes and gifts. However, a bulk order of personalized pint glasses may be a lot cheaper than what you expect making these favors worth the money to purchase.

Then when your guests arrive at home, they will have a spectacular glass to drink from and some snacks. These pint glasses can be colored to match your wedding theme which will give your overall wedding design an even better feel. If you decide to fill them up with candy, you can color coordinate the candy to the glasses. For an economical and stunning wedding favor gift, give away pint glasses at your reception.

Creative Ideas For Your Wedding Invitations

Monday, December 21st, 2009

Your wedding is one of the view days where you really want your individuality to stand out, so why not start with the first part of your wedding- the invitations! There are plenty of individual and striking designs out there, and you needn’t be restricted by colour or materials- so your invitation can truly reflect you and your partner, and be completely in keeping with your wedding theme.

A really nice idea is to use 3d pieces that can add texture to your invitation and are also a great way of representing your interests. For instance for a recent wedding we hosted, the invites featured a button and a shell. the groom was a keen surfer and spent all his spare time at the beach, and the bride was a seamstress, who also made button jewellery- so the combination of the 2 items was perfect. You can also display your green credentials using your invitation too. This eco friendliness was carried into their wedding- with organic food and eco friendly table decorations and napkins.

A nice personal touch is having a photo of the happy couple on the invitation- and if you’re not comfortable having a posed picture on there, then how about a silly one from one of your nights out together, a couple of baby snaps, or even better a mock up of the two of you together when you’re old and grey. If you really want to be unique, then why not move away from traditional paper invitations, and use something really innovative. A simple but effective idea is to send an object that will come in useful at the reception or wedding. For instance, a pair of castanets would be perfect for a Spanish themed wedding, where flamenco would be the dance of choice at the reception.

Or how about a badge as an invite, with just the time, place and the couples names on it to add an air of mystery- perfect for a more low key wedding. Finally, a relatively new idea, that is loved by the tech savvy, is a DVD invite, with the couple announcing the wedding (almost) face to face. just be careful with this one- as great grandpa or aunty Mabel may not take kindly to this type of invite.
