Wedding Favor Pen?

Monday, April 20th, 2009

I decided to go online to find a wedding guest book and pen for my wedding reception, and it turned out to be a great decision! It was a good idea, I found all sorts of styles and decorative colors, and I also found different weddings you can choose from. They had a lot of themes for weddings and receptions that you could choose from, that I really liked. Our wedding date is set for January, so I was thinking about having a winter wonderland ceremony and reception. 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 a winter wedding is gorgeous too, at least all the accessories I’ve seen were. So, a winter wedding it was to be. Now I had to get started with all my wedding plans.

I found the best invitations for a winter wonderland wedding. Secondly, I chose our flower girl basket, ring bearer pillow and all the other accessories I needed for our wedding ceremony. 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! So, I searched through the wedding supplies and found the beautiful winter wedding guestbooks and wedding pen sets, and picked my favorite. The guest book was designed with snowflakes and a little blue thrown in with sparkling little crystals. There were also the wedding pens to match with our guestbook. Since I was looking for the perfect guest book and pen, I decided to choose our photo album too. 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.

Next, I started going through all the reception supplies and decoration ideas they had. 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 so fantastic looking. The glassware, gel candles and lovely winter centerpieces I chose really made our tables look spectacular. 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. As beautiful as it all was, it’s hard to believe they didn’t cost a lot more.

They have a terrific selection of wedding toppers for you to pick from. It was the perfect wedding topper for the bride and groom and the joys of the winter season. We had a gorgeous five tiered winter wedding cake with sugar snowflakes along with icy blue and red winter designs. Our choice of a wedding cake stand was a big silver sled. 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.

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. But what I thought was a really decorative addition to the tables were the snowflake favor boxes their wedding favors came in. They were the perfect winter addition to the reception tables. The wedding pen holders went over surprisingly well, and everyone really had a wonderful time at the reception. 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 love these new Ring Bearer Pillows

My mom suggested I shop online for my wedding accessories, like flower girl baskets, ring bearer pillows and reception supplies. 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. They even had the type of invitations I was looking for, and a lot of discounted items to choose from too. 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. There were many lovely styles for satin ring pillows.

They had a fantastic selection of centerpieces and champagne flutes for the bride and groom and guests. There were elegant choices of candles and glassware to enhance my tables. They had a lot of suggestions for themed weddings and even destination weddings, with all kinds of wedding favor ideas. Some for a beach wedding, winter wedding, garden wedding and more, with beautiful and decorative favor boxes to choose from too. There were great little novelty favors too, like Vegas wedding gifts for friends and family, keychains, photo frames and more with a Las Vegas theme to them.

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. I found the perfect cake topper. The cake topper was the most exquisite part of our wedding cake. The beautiful satin bow and butterfly just made our cake even more beautiful.

I got so many compliments on my décor and wedding favor gifts. A lot of our friends and family thanked me for such lovely wedding favors. What I really liked about this place I shopped was the fact they have more than just cake toppers and a ring pillow. 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.

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’ve already been checking out some of the party favors, but I’m waiting until next week to order them. By that time I’ll know if she is having a boy or a girl. Then I can order the favors in pink or blue, even though there are other neutral colors I could choose.

I want to thank my mom for pointing me towards this easy way to shop, it saved me a lot of time and money. I also want to thank her for helping with the reception arrangements and filling out all those thank you cards. 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. They had some very nice ideas for anniversaries, like decorations, cake toppers and even favor gifts for guests. I saw a lot of lovely ideas for my mom and dad’s 30th wedding anniversary. Me and my sister should look at the possibilities together. It won’t be long before they are celebrating their anniversary, we might as well get an early start on planning.
