I wanted to have a wedding that was not only full of great memories for me, but for our friends and family as well. The presents and favors I got everyone were things that could be treasured for a lifetime. I wanted to get them things that would help them recall how exceptional both our reception and wedding was. I began by selecting keepsake gifts and moved on to things like a keepsake gift. There were a lot of wedding items to choose from on the internet, with suggestions of very nice items for both ceremonies and receptions. All of the things that I needed for my reception were there
I had a florist come in and make up darling arrangements to put in the middle of each reception table, and alongside them were little ceramic pots with lace that held candles inside. The place card holders, which I also discovered on the Internet, looked exquisite next to the flower arrangements.
The place card holders I decided on were beautiful beaded picture frames that the guests could all keep after the reception. I made up my mind that the people at my wedding woud get practical favors that, afterwards, would be amazing wedding keepsake gifts. If you’re giving a present anyway, I’ve always felt that you might as well get something that they can make use of somehow. If it has no usefullness, it’s probably going to be discarded or forgotten. My loved ones were going to get something they’d genuinely appreciate, if I had anything to say about it. So I chose bistro coffee mugs for each of our friends and family’s gift. They attractive and you can get good use out of them, too. They came in their own little packages, so I didn’t have to worry about finding favor boxes, I just ordered some festive hang tags to put on each one.
The Internet was a treasure trove of reception ideas and products. One super item we picked out was our wedding cake topper. I decided to go with something with special meaning to us.
When we met for the first time, it was at a friends house and we were all engaged in a little friendly game of football on the back lawn. He tried a tackle that was, let’s just say, unforgettable, so I picked out a cake topper of a bride and groom with a football. When I look at the wedding cake topper, I think of both our wedding day and the day he first tried to tackle me. [spin]I was really surprised that I had found such a novel wedding cake topper as this one was, and not only that, I also found gorgeous wedding
