Quest for Personalized Wedding Pens

Monday, April 20th, 2009

I decided to go online to find a wedding favor pen for my wedding reception, and it turned out to be a great decision! 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. Since our ceremony is in January, I thought a winter wonderland wedding and reception would be ideal. When I think of a Christmas wedding ceremony, with a tree and decorations, I almost which we had chosen December as our wedding date. But from all the themed wedding accessories I’ve seen, a winter wedding is beautiful too. A winter wedding was the one I chose. Now it was time to put my plans in motion.

I found the best invitations for a winter wonderland wedding. Then I went for all the winter accessories for our wedding ceremony, from flower girl basket to ring boy pillow. I was thinking I had everything for our winter wedding I could possibly need, but I found out that I had forgotten something. 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. There were snowflakes, hints of blue and perfect little crystals on the cover of our winter wedding guestbook. Along with our lovely winter themed guestbook was the winter themed wedding pens to match. Now that I had our winter wedding guestbook and pen, it was time to find the perfect wedding photo album. I couldn’t believe all the gorgeous wedding albums you could get, there were even anniversary albums to choose from. I’ll have to remember this site so I can come back in a few years for my anniversary album.

It was time now, to check out ideas for decorating our reception and getting our supplies. There was everything for the perfect winter wonderland wedding and I started with the crystal champagne flutes with the decorative winter themed stems, designed just like our wedding guest book and pen. They have such beautiful wedding stemware. Our reception tables were absolutely exquisite with all the crystal, candles and centerpieces I picked out. We were also able to get quite a few accessories and supplies at a discount and save money on our wedding expenses, which really helped us out. I was surprised at what little we paid for such exquisite accessories.

They also had the most adorable wedding cake toppers to choose from. 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. Our choice of a wedding cake stand was a big silver sled. Everyone thought the sled cake stand was quite a unique idea, but I can’t take the credit for it, my fiance came up with that idea.

On our the reception tables for our friends and family I had chosen these adorable little snowmen place card holders. I also chose wedding favors that were little snowflake gel candles for our guests. One of my favorite decorative accessories was the snowflake favor boxes we packaged their gifts in. They were the perfect winter addition to the reception tables. Everyone seemed to be having a great time and the favor pens were a hit! I’m so glad everything turned out so perfect, and I owe it to the great help I got from online shopping. It gave me a lot of help for planning the décor.

I like these new Ring Bearer Pillows

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. I really enjoyed the convenience of shopping online and having all my supplies delivered to my door, saved me the trouble of running all over town. I found everything from invitations to wedding favors, and some items at wholesale prices. Our invitations weren’t the only thing I saved money on, I also saved on other accessories too. I saved money on all the tiaras I needed for myself, bridesmaids and my flower girl, plus a lot of other accessories, like flower girl basket, rose petals and I also found terrific ring bearer pillow wedding suggestions. There were many lovely styles for wedding ring pillows.

They had all the reception supplies I could hope for. Along with the glassware I added beautiful candles to make each table setting as elegant as possible. They had a lot of suggestions for themed weddings and even destination weddings, with all kinds of wedding favor ideas. There everything, including favor boxes for beach, winter, garden and other themed weddings. There are beautiful accessories for beach, winter, garden and other themed ceremonies and receptions. If I were having a Vegas theme reception I could have gotten the cute little novelty favors they have for it, like keychains, photo books and more.

The crystal paperweights I bought made the perfect little thank you gifts for our guests. They were really lovely, so lovely I hated to package them, but the favor boxes were very decorative and added that extra special something to our tables. Out of everything I bought, I loved my cake topper the most. I think I liked the topper better than I did the cake itself. 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. A lot of our friends and family thanked me for such lovely wedding favors. But, there’s more to this place than just a ring bearer pillow and cake toppers. There were all kinds of supplies and great ideas for birthdays, wedding showers, baby showers, and girls night out parties too. I didn’t know it at the time, but I found out that’s where my sister got all of her party supplies and party favors for my bridal shower she threw for me. It was all courtesy of mom’s suggestion.

In about three and a half weeks I’m giving my sister a baby shower and I already know where I’m getting the decorations, favors and other party supplies from. I’ve already been checking out some of the party favors, but I’m waiting until next week to order them. That’s when she finds out if she is having a girl or boy. Then I can order the favors in pink or blue, even though there are other neutral colors I could choose.

I should listen to my mom more often and maybe she has other ways to find bargains like these in a lot less time than I normally take. My mom also helped me so much with arranging my reception and helping me get the thank you cards all done. Thanks for all of your wonderful suggestions and all of your help, mom. Maybe I can use this online shopping thing for our future anniversary parties. I saw some pretty nice ideas for anniversary parties, from decorations to anniversary party favors. I saw a lot of lovely ideas for my mom and dad’s 30th wedding anniversary. My sister and I should get together and discuss it. It won’t be long before they are celebrating their anniversary, we might as well get an early start on planning.
