Wonderful wedding pens

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Going online seemed like a good idea to find a wedding favor pen and other supplies. I was right – there were so many options, not just on styles and colors but on weddings as well! There were a lot of choices I was rather captured by, as far as themes for weddings and receptions. I thought since we were getting married in January it would be the perfect time for a beautiful winter wonderland wedding and reception party. At first, I kinda wished we were getting married in early December so we could have a Christmas wedding, with a big tree and everything Christmasy. But from all the themed wedding accessories I’ve seen, a winter wedding is beautiful too. So, a winter wedding it was to be. Next I had to get everything together for my beautiful wedding.

First I found the perfect winter wonderland wedding invitations to send to our friends and family. Next, I picked out the accessories for our ceremony, including the ring pillow and flower basket. I thought I had everything I needed for the perfect winter wonderland wedding, but I was wrong. I forgot all about the wedding guest book and wedding pen! Then I checked out all the winter guest books and wedding pen sets available until I found just the right one for our ceremony. Our wedding guest book had little snowflakes and hints of blue and little crystals placed on it. There were also the wedding pens to match with our guestbook. Now that I had our winter wedding guestbook and pen, it was time to find the perfect wedding photo album. Not only did they have a great selection of wedding albums, but some pretty nice anniversary albums too. I planned to keep this in mind for future references.

It was time now, to check out ideas for decorating our reception and getting our supplies. They had it all as far as winter wonderland wedding supplies, and the first thing I bought for the reception were the champagne flutes, designed to match our wedding guest book and pen. They were absolutely exquitsite. Our reception tables were absolutely exquisite with all the crystal, candles and centerpieces I picked out. If you’re like me and my fiance and you’re watching your budget, this place can really help with wholesale accessories and supplies they have to offer. As beautiful as it all was, it’s hard to believe they didn’t cost a lot more.

There were a lot of cake toppers to check out too. It was the perfect wedding topper for the bride and groom and the joys of the winter season. Our cake was five tiers high and covered in sugar snowflakes with blue and red designs of winter. We used a big silver sled design for our wedding cake stand. Our sled cake stand got a lot of compliments from our friends and family and I had to thank my fiance for that creative suggestion.

We had snowmen place card holders on the reception tables for all of our guests. There were also snowflake gel candles for everyones wedding favors gift. One of my favorite decorative accessories was the snowflake favor boxes we packaged their gifts in. They really made the tables look so festive. The wedding reception was a lot of fun and our friends and family seemed to like the personalized wedding pens we gave to them. I’m so glad everything turned out so perfect, and I owe it to the great help I got from online shopping. It really helped out a lot with the planning and decorating.

Ring Bearer Pillow

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

When it came to the flower girl baskets, ring bearer pillows and reception supplies, I took my mom’s advice and went shopping online. She said it beats running from store to store and all there is to do is check them out, order the ones I like and wait for delivery. She was right, I even found the perfect wedding invitations to send out, and some other accessories, all at reasonable prices. There was also quite a few other items that I was able to get at a discount. I found a lot of my accessories for my bridesmaids, flower girl at a great price and there were unique ring bearer pillow wedding ideas to work with too. I couldn’t believe all the adorable ideas for wedding ring pillows.

There was all the decorations I needed for my tables. So many choices of glassware and candles to add to the elegance of each table. There was such an assortment of themed wedding and destination wedding ideas, and a great selection of wedding favors too. Some for a beach wedding, winter wedding, garden wedding and more, with beautiful and decorative favor boxes to choose from too. I really liked the novelty favors they have for a Las Vegas themed party, like the little photo albums and keychains.

The crystal paperweights I bought made the perfect little thank you gifts for our guests. Athough the favors were an added touch of elegance all on their own, I packaged them in exquisite little favor boxes. I found the perfect cake topper. Our cake topper was so beautiful it almost out shined our wedding cake. The beautiful satin bow and butterfly just made our cake even more beautiful.

Our wedding décor and wedding favors seemed to make quite an impression. I got so many thank you’s from our guests for their gifts. What I really liked about this place I shopped was the fact they have more than just cake toppers and a wedding ring bearer pillow. There are ideas and selections for all parties, including showers, birthday and girls night out parties. My sister just told me the other day that she got all the favors and supplies she needed for my bridal shower at the same place I bought my wedding supplies. Our mom gave her the idea of going online to find everything she needed for my bridal shower she was throwing for me, just like she did for me with my wedding supplies.

My sister is going to have a baby in a few months and I’m throwing her a baby shower, guess where I’m getting all of my shower supplies? I already know what supplies and favors I want to order, but I have to do that until some time next week. That’s when we get to find out if I’ll have a little niece or a little nephew. Even though there are a lot of neutral colors I could use, I’d rather try to have the décor and supplies in a boy or girl theme.

My mother’s suggestion on shopping by computer really helped out a lot in terms of time and money. My mom also helped me so much with arranging my reception and helping me get the thank you cards all done. I couldn’t have done it without you, mom. This is one way of shopping that will come in handy for our anniversary someday. I saw some pretty nice ideas for anniversary parties, from decorations to anniversary party favors. I found suggestions that would be perfect for our mom and dayd’s 30th wedding anniversary party. I think I’ll get a hold of my sister so we can check out the possibilities together. It won’t be long before they are celebrating their anniversary, we might as well get an early start on planning.
