Best Wedding Bell Favors…

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

There was the sound of wedding bells, the tossing of rose petals, and the traditional run for the limo while friends and family cheered us on. That’s the way our ceremony went. The wedding ceremony was so beautiful and everything turned out just like I wanted it, thanks to all the super accessories I was able to get. We had the best in wedding accessories and reception supplies to make it all a dream come true.

Starting with the invitations and ending with the perfect little thank you gifts, they had it all. The silver print was a lovely touch to our invitations. I found a lovely ring pillow and flower basket set that I also ordered from them. It was a beautiful satin garnet color and included a wedding guest book, pen set and wedding garter. Five items bought as a group, that cost a lot less than you would think.

There were a lot of other items I ordered too, like my lovely aisle runner for the church ceremony. I’m really glad we went with wedding bell decoration. After we were pronounced man and wife, everyone at the ceremony rang their little bells as we walked back down the aisle. I really liked the idea of the bell ringing.

The accessories for our wedding ceremony wasn’t all I ordered, I also got our supplies for our reception there too. They really had quite a collection of gorgeous wedding reception accessories to choose from. I wanted to make our reception tables sparkle, so I ordered as much crystal as I could get away with, starting with crystal champagne flutes. I chose the bride and groom toasting set for us and champagne flutes with elegant twisted stems for our friends and family. Bell weddings really made our tables shine with elegance, and I thought it would be a nice gift for our guests as a little something extra to show our appreciation.

I could have bought every gorgeous item they had on their list, but I think I would have been overdoing it just a little. Glass coasters was our choice of wedding favor gifts for our guests. They were specially designed with a calla lilie on each one. I found the perfect little silver favor boxes with thank you tags to package the wedding favors in. The wedding favors in their little silver boxes made our tables even more elegant. There were also some very unique centerpieces on our reception tables, made up of flowers and candles, that I bought online.

On a smaller table at the of our long table, was our fantastically designed wedding cake. A beautiful wedding topper sat on top of our chocolate cherry three tiered wedding cake. Our topper was really exquisite, with calla lilies and a beautiful ribbon, tied in a bow. Everything at our reception turned out to be perfect. We had so many photos of the wedding ceremony and reception that I went back online and ordered a second wedding photo album. We have quite a few pictures of the the cake cutting and sharing of the first piece. There is the most adorable picture of our little flower girl dancing with the very elegant ring boy, our bride and grooms first dance together, and all of our guests having a great time on the dance floor.

The compliments I got from our guests on our wedding décor was really nice, but it really made me feel good to know that they all had such a great time. I told my husband that I would really like to do this again someday for one of our anniversaries, and he agreed that it’s a good idea.

Best Holy Communion Favors!

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

Our daughter made her first holy communion last week and we had a small party for her special day. I wanted to find communion favors that would not only be beautiful to the eye but have a spiritual touch to them. So, I checked out a lot of religious shops and even book stores but still couldn’t find anything that seemed just right. Then I thought about going online to shop for party favors. There were quite a few lovely votive candles that worked out perfectly for table decoration. I chose decorative tins filled with candy for the grown ups and the children received candies packaged in adorable little teddy bear containers as their first communion favors. I found the most lovely little picture frames with crosses on them and decided to get everyone an extra gift. I liked them so much, I bought two more for myself.

It was almost like we were looking for her wedding dress, instead of a dress for her communion. It scares me a little to know that day will get here a lot sooner than I want it to. She looked like a little bride now with the lovely white dress and veil she was wearing. I guess a wedding reception and communion party isn’t all that much different. Just like at a reception, there was the decorated cake, a band for dancing and foods of all kinds to enjoy. We didn’t want to lose the fact of the importance of this special day, but we also wanted to make this party a memorable one. I also bought a girls pink photo album for her to have as her very own with pictures of her first holy communion day and the party with her friends and family. We didn’t have a caterer or anything real fancy, it was all home cooked food and some of the other moms helped with preparing the meal. We had fried chicken, potato salad, vegetables and a few different types of salads. We had a fantastic dinner to share with our family and our best friends. It turned out to be a very nice evening and everyone seemed to have a good time, including our daughter. She got a lot of very nice gifts from everyone and her father and I bought her a lovely gold cross with her name engraved on the back.

I couldn’t help but feel that this was a practice run for her wedding and reception. I know that day is not so far away and we will be sitting down checking out the online selection for wedding favors and accessories. When that day comes, at least I’ll have a heads up on where to find the supplies and accessories she’ll need. They have so much to offer in the communion favor section and it’s the best place to shop, there is also whole line of wedding accessories. I know she’ll be able to find just about any kind of wedding accessories and favors she needs for her wedding day. There is even more than communions and weddings to check out too. This online shopping spot will come in handy in the future when I have to plan for birthdays, graduations and other important events. If you are planning a bachelorette party, or a shower for a bride to be, or maybe you want to throw a baby shower for a close friend or family member, if so, this is the place to find all of your accessories. You can choose from many themed ceremonies and receptions like oceanside weddings, or seasonal ones like winter wonderland and my particular favorite, western themed receptions. There is also accessories for themed showers, birthday parties and more. It’s a good thing I know the perfect online shopping store, I’m sure I’ll have a lot of opportunities to use it.

Best Bridesmaid Gift

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

All the wedding accessories I checked out were super. They supplied me with most of my wedding and reception décor. But when it came to the bridesmaid gifts, I just couldn’t decide on which one I wanted to order. They had so many wonderful suggestion for the bridesmaids thank you gifts. Buying the groomsmen gifts didn’t seem to be half as hard for my fiance. He got them all a special little shot glass as their thank you gifts. With me, I’m on there everyday looking at the selection over and over again, trying to make a decision.

I thought about ordering the beautiful jewelry boxes they have to offer, then I would see the gorgeous bracelet and start thinking about that gift. Thank goodness it was much easier picking out our items for the ceremony and reception party. I already had what I wanted, in mind, for those accessories. They had everything I needed for my autumn wedding ceremony. They had everything to go with the fall colors and décor I wanted. I chose my flower basket and ring bearer pillow that were made for the perfect fall wedding. I ordered everything from the flower basket to an aisle runner.

For our reception there were so many great suggestions and designs for fall accessories. You can even order beautiful favor boxes for the unique wedding favors they offer, and the place cards and holders they have are pretty exceptional too. I’m pretty sure these wedding favors I ordered for our guests will be a big hit. But I also ordered one for me as a little momento of our special wedding day. They were some of the prettiest glass coasters you can imagine. It didn’t take much time for me to choose the wedding cake topper I liked the best. Even though my first choice would have been the fairytale topper, I chose an exquisite heart with our names added. If a storybook were to be our wedding theme, there was one storybook topper I would definitely have used. I would have been ordering the castle topper for a storybook wedding. It was really special and would have fit right in with a storybook themed wedding.

I couldn’t understand why I was having such a hard time picking out a nice bridesmaids gift, when it was so easy to choose my wedding and reception supplies. They even had discount prices for a lot of accessories and gifts. There were cheap bridesmaid gifts that looked expensive, but was very reasonably priced. After a few days I had actually made up my mind to choose between the two I liked the best. It was a toss up between the gorgeous jewelry boxes or the bracelets. So now the debate was on with just the two gifts to choose from, and that took another week or so. But I did finally decided on what I was going to do. I decided to buy both. I decided my bridesmaids were getting two thank you gifts from us, the jewelry box and the bracelet. Why not, it’s not that expensive and I feel they deserve it.

I was so happy that our wedding day turned out to be so perfect. The ceremony was beautiful and the reception was a lot of fun. Many of our guests told use how lovely everything was and how nice their wedding favors were. The guys loved the shot glasses and my bridesmaid gifts were a success too. This day will live in my memory forever.

Awesome wedding knife

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

I decided, after looking at many wedding suggestions, to have a themed ceremony and reception party. All I had to do now, was decide which theme I wanted to go with. It sounded like a lot of fun to have a country western themed wedding. I even considered having a barn dance for our reception party. A beach wedding sounded nice for our summer wedding. We could party and swim until the sun sets on the beautiful blue water. It was a never ending list of possibilities for themed weddings and receptions. There were all kinds of accessories and supplies for themed weddings, from decorations to a gorgeous wedding cake server. With all the themed wedding suggestions they had, I decided to go with the gorgeous fairytale wedding.

Since, I had made up my mind to use the storybook theme, it was time to find my accessories and reception supplies. Of course the very first thing to do is get the invitations for our friends and family. After that I went on to the wedding décor and the other accessories I would need. I wanted everything to look as Cinderella like as possible. First I needed to get the decorations I wanted to use in the church. Tulle swags were draped from each row of pews with a bow of satin pinned on each end. Tall vases filled with flowers were all around the altar, and tapered candles in fairytale holders were place on the sides of the unity candle.

We had a beautiful wedding guestbook in the front hall of the church which our friends and family all signed when they came in. Our fairytale wedding ceremony was everything I had hoped for and more. The flower girl was so cute, and the ring boy looked very handsome as they perfectly performed their duties at the ceremony. We took a carriage ride to the reception, just like Cinderella and her Prince left their ceremony.

The reception hall was really beautiful with all the lovely flowers everywhere and the lovely tables all set up with crystal and silver. All the tables had crystal champagne flutes with storybook designed stems. Little castle place card holders were placed at every guests table. Another suggestion was to fill favor boxes with candies for the guests, and I chose little carriage style boxes for everyone.

Even though all of our reception tables were gorgeous, our wedding table was the most breathtaking. It had all the elegance of a king and queen. Our cake of five gorgeous tiers, with a fairytale wedding topper, sat at the end of our wedding table on a smaller table. I found the most exquisite storybook wedding cake topper for our reception at the same place I bought all our other reception supplies. Even the fairytale wedding knife they had was special with it’s lovely styled handle. I wanted the complete wedding cake knife set instead of just a plain knife because I wanted it to be special. The set made a nice addition to the wedding cake and topper decoration.

After we were toasted with our lovely crystal champagne flutes, it was time for the bride and groom to have their first dance together as man and wife. Our favorite song is by all for one and is “ I Swear” and that’s the one we danced to. Other couples came up to dance as soon as the next song began. I’m glad I bought the gorgeous fairytale photo album to store my wedding pictures in, because I’m going to have quite a few of them to treasure. Our guests let us know how much they appreciated the storybook wedding favors we had for each of them.

With the ceremony and reception party turning out as great as it did, I know you can have your favorite fairytale come true.

I Found Some Awesome Wedding Bridal Accessories!

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

I started looking for all the accessories and supplies I needed for our wedding day, just as soon as we set the date. Since I love to shop online, I decided that was as good a place to start as any. I’m glad I did too, with all they had to offer there was no problem finding everything I needed to plan the perfect wedding and reception. Starting with the beautiful invitations I chose, and finishing with the super wedding favors for our friends and family.

We decided that a lovely theme wedding would be what we would like, and the theme we chose was a beach theme. The beach has been a special place for us and our friends ever since we were kids.

I immediately picked out our beach wedding invitations and made sure our potential guests received them promptly. All the guests we invited said they would be there and that they can hardly wait to watch us walk down the aisle. My bridal accessories were the next thing on my wedding list that I would need. Shopping online has almost become a hobby for me, but even I couldn’t believe what a wonderful selection of discount bridal accessories they had to offer. The first thing ordered was the exquisite hair comb and tiara to wear on my wedding day. Not only did I find the perfect hair accessories, but my wedding jewelry too. My wedding dress and the lovely necklace and earring set I ordered for my wedding day looked fantastic together. It was so beautiful with little pearls and glistening crystals, it looked fantastic.

There was an amazing bridal hair accessory display that was so beautiful and even reasonable in price. There were even a lot of honeymoon accessories available that I ordered. Even though we were getting married on the beach, I insisted on a floor length wedding dress. My bridesmaids wore a light weight satin dress for my wedding and so did my little flower girl. They all looked so lovely in their wedding attire.

There were tiki torches and those little white christmas lights everywhere and a dance floor my fiance had fixed there. I had sailboat place card holders and placed seashells and starfish all around the tables. The wedding favors I chose were lovely photo frames with a beach design, because I thought they were so pretty and I know that’s something that they can always use. I think they all liked the frames as much as I did.

There were tealights and candles to light up our beautifully set bridal table and lovley beach themed flutes for the wedding toast. Our wedding cake topper was especially designed for a beach wedding just as all our other accessories for our reception. A man and woman taking a casual walk on the shore was the wedding cake topper I chose for our reception. With all the items and bridal accessories they had available, it was easy to make this wedding and reception a total success. For those that weren’t into seafood, we made sure we had plenty of steaks and chicken for them. We all had a wonderful time enjoying good food and good music to dance too. I kinda hated to leave the party for our honeymoon, everyone was having such a great time.

After we returned from our honeymoon, I had to get down to writing all the thank you notes to our guests. That was a day I’ll always remember and I’ll have lots of photos in my beach wedding album to look at and relive again and again.

Awesome sweet sixteen ideas

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

My daughter is turning sixteen and I was looking for some unique ideas for her party. My friend found quite a few party accessories and supplies online for her daughters celebration. So I decided to give it a try. I was really surprised at what super favors and table decorations they had. There were a lot of accessories I found that would be perfect for her party. There were cookie cutters I used to make cookies in the shape of the number 16 for her guests.

Since it was her birthday, I let her decide what she wanted and she decided to party at the roller rink and have her friends stay overnight. I then made reservations at the roller rink in town. I sent all of her girl friends special party invitations. It was a lot cheaper than I figured it would be. They had a great package deal for birthday parties, with pizza, hot dogs and refreshments. The party was to continue at our house after the skating, so I had to get everything ready. I put up decorations, fixed a table with a few goodies to snack on, along with the sweet 16 cookies I prepared earlier.

When I was searching the web for birthday ideas, I ordered a few other things besides the cookie cutters. Since this birthday party wasn’t costing me what I thought it would, I decided to order a few sweet sixteen favors for the girls. I ordered some adorable pink photo albums for all the girls, and disposable cameras for them to take pictures of the party. Everyone got a camera before we went to the roller rink party, but no one got an album until later that evening. They all took a few pictures at the rink and wanted to save some film for the slumber party they were having afterwards.

Another party favor was a cosmetic bag with their first initial printed on the front. Along with that I also bought compact mirrors and manicure sets that matched their bags. Each of the girls also received a very decorative favor box filled with candies. We left the rink and went home to have her sweet sixteen idea and watch her open her presents. There were plenty of snacks and drinks, girlie teen movies for them to watch, so they were good to go for the evening. They turned on some of their music and danced around for a while, then they took out their manicure sets and started to work on nails, and give make overs to each other. From all the noise and laughing you knew they were having the time of their lives.

After they tired themselves out, they decided to put on a movie and grab the popcorn. I tried to stay out of their way as much as possible and just let them have a good time, but they asked me if I wanted to watch a movie with them. I thought that was so sweet of them to ask. They actually made it through the first two movies before they started nodded off, one by one. Soon, the only ones awake were me and my daughter, but she didn’t last much longer. But before she passed out, she thanked me for giving her such a great party.

They ate breakfast and cleaned up everything left from the birthday party before I even got out of bed. I was very impressed with their thoughtfulness in helping me out. They hung around with my daughter for a couple of hours, then the kids started heading for home. Each of the girls said they had a great time at the party and they loved the favors for sweet sixteen I got them. I like that my daughter and her friends now consider me to be a cool mom.

Awesome Summer Wedding Ideas!

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

It was a lot easier than I thought it would be to plan my outside wedding and reception. In fact, it didn’t cost as much as an indoor wedding would have cost us. Since we had the flowers and mother nature everywhere, I didn’t have to spend a lot of money on decorations. The first thing I had to do was to find the perfect location to have our summer wedding and reception. I thought about a super beach wedding and reception, or maybe have it in a gorgeous garden, but I decided to have our ceremony and reception in the park. I found several perfect parks that would work fine for our wedding day.

I decided to go online and get some expert advice on how to plan the perfect outdoor wedding. I found out you need to have a plan B, in case inclement weather unexpectly arises. A tent was suggested just in case the weather turns out badly.

We had canopies arranged for our reception and barring bad weather, planned to be wed under a lovely trellis. I mainly concentrated on the decorations for our wedding table and the reception tables. With the park as our main theme, I basically had to make sure I had our table settings and maybe throw in a few extra bouquets of flowers. I decided to go with artificial flowers because I didn’t want to have our wedding to be the target of a bee swarm. You couldn’t tell they were artificial they were so beautiful,they looked like the real deal. The wedding was easier than I originally thought it would be, but there were a lot of things to consider. Even though some summer wedding favors are fantastic, the heat can totally destroy your gorgeous wedding cake.

I found quite a few terrific accessories that I could use for the reception. Each of our guest had a park bench place card holder and the centerpieces were flowers arranged around a glass globe with citronella votive candles inside. The chrome bottle openers we bought for our guests were packaged in beautiful favors boxes and given out as a summer wedding favor. For our wedding table, of course, was our fabulous wedding cake with a very unique wedding cake topper.

While shopping for my wedding accessories I saw this topper and couldn’t resist it. They do customizing for the bride and groom. After I sent them a head shot of my fiance and myself they made our bride and groom topper to look exactly like us. What a wonderful momento of our wedding day. Everyone at the reception had something to say about how unique it was. Everything I ordered for our ceremony and reception was the best in wedding accessories, especially our crystal champagne flutes and silver cake serving set. You wouldn’t believe all the nice accessories you can buy online.

It was the perfect wedding and reception, just like I had hoped for. Thank goodness the weather stayed perfect throughout the entire ceremony and reception and we never had to put plan B into action. The DJ we hired was really exceptional and I’m sure that the music played on long after my new husband and I left for our honeymoon. A lot of good things were said about our wedding ceremony and everyone said they had a fantastic time at the reception. I couldn’t have picked a better place than the park for our wedding ceremony and reception party. If we celebrate one of our anniversaries with a wedding renewal, I want to have it in a gorgeous park again.

We had such a great time and everyone seemed happy with their baby shower favor. We had a lot of laughs together as we watched her open all the baby gifts and played silly games. One of my favorite games was filling baby bottles with a drink and giving one to each guest. Then when someone saids go, each person must drink from their baby bottle until it’s empty and the first one done wins the game. I pinned everyones baby picture on my board. Everyone then had to try to find a match of a baby photo to the adult person. The prize went to whoever had the most matches.
