I was chatting on the phone with my best friend.  She is beyond stressed out.  She has twin seniors getting ready for the prom and her eldest son is getting married in 3 months.  I can’t say that I blame her for feeling stressed.  I would too if I had all that on my plate. It can’t be cheap to prepare 3 kids for these types of events.  I know she is making the wedding favors and designing and sewing the wedding garter.  She is very talented with designing and sewing.  As for the prom, she is going to buy the prom favors and personalized prom favors for a certain few.  So that leaves the prom garter which will also design and sew.  I know from experiences she’s had in the past that sometimes it can be cheaper to buy than to make things, as she tends to go all out.  I know the garters will be awesome.  The girls should consider themselves very lucky indeed.

I think a wedding frame thank you gift makes the perfect wedding favors for friends and family.  Not only does wedding frames make great gifts, but they work quite well as place card holders too.  I was right, my guests loved their photo frame wedding favors and some of my friends wanted to know where I found such adorable photo frames because they wanted to pick up a few more.

The bride to be was really impressed with the bachelorette party supplies I had at her party.  She loved the decorations and all the great girls night out ideas I had.  I showed her one of the girls night out invitations they had and told her they also have wedding supplies, every thing from  invitations to wedding favors.  She was so impressed with all the things I was able to get for the girls night out party and at such affordable prices, she decided to check it out for her reception supplies. Too bad I can’t get something for referring a customer.

That’s what I think anyway.  I know my guests really like the wedding favors we gave them and they were personalized favors.  My Aunt was so impressed that she would get a special personalized favor that she had to come and thank me.  I guess they were pretty impressive personalized wedding favors, but I really didn’t think they’d be such a big hit. Apparently everyone felt the same way my Aunt did. So if anyone ever asked me, I’d suggest going with personalized favors for all your loved ones.

I wanted to get something special in wedding favors for our friends and family, so I decided to look for wedding keepsake gifts that will remind them of our day together. I also got an extra special keepsake gift for each of my bridesmaids and wedding keepsake boxes for them to be packaged in.  The right gifts favors can show just how much you care about them being with you on this very special day in your life.

I really want my wedding bell decorations to be stunning. I heard of a nice place that sells cheap wedding bells, but they are made so nicely.  They also have some great wedding silver bells which I can hardly wait to hang in the reception hall. One other item I need are some wedding bell favors.  If I can find those, then I won’t have to give another thought about wedding favors.  For some reason I was stressing over that topic.  I found all of my wish list.  I feel so fortunate that I can’t begin to express it.  The part that is most stunning is the way I feel about my fiance.  He is what makes everything in my life feel stunning.

I went to a winter wedding a couple of weeks ago and the bride and groom gave out winter photo coasters as wedding favors for all the guests.  They were adorable photo coaster sets with snowflakes all over them.  I was so impressed with my photo coaster set that I thought it would be a great idea to ordered some wonderful glass photo coasters to be used as stocking stuffers for the ladies at work.  What a versatile little gift.

The tags are quite lovely but I really prefer the favor boxes.  With all the different styles of wedding favor boxes, it’s easier to match up with my theme of the beautiful storybook wedding and reception I’m planning.  Besides, I think party favor boxes are much more festive than the tags.  So favors boxes it is!

Now that I’m getting married I can make that dream come true and have the destination wedding I’ve always wanted.  My fiance and I are planning to honeymoon in Bermuda, so I checked into destination weddings and found everything I needed for my ceremony and reception, including wedding favors that are special favors for destination weddings.  Now all I have to do is tell my fiance about my destination wedding ideas.  I’m sure he’ll like the idea as much as I do.

Last night I had a brainstrom.  Instead of buying the wedding favors, we will make ring bearer pillows.  Well, there was only one other person that thought my idea is a good one.  So, it looks like pillow favors will be researched.  I found two places I will look at.  They are Wedding Ring Bearer Pillows and Unique Ring Bearer Pillows.
