Cheap wedding guest pen

Monday, April 20th, 2009

I decided to go online to find a wedding guest 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. 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. Too bad we were’nt getting married in December, I think a Christmas wedding would really have been spectacular, with a big Christmas tree and lots of decorations. But from all the themed wedding accessories I’ve seen, a winter wedding is beautiful too. So, I decided it was definitely a winter wedding. Next I had to get everything together for my beautiful wedding.

I found the best invitations for a winter wonderland wedding. Next, I picked out the accessories for our ceremony, including the ring pillow and flower basket. I was sure I picked out all the accessories I had to have for our winter wedding, but that wasn’t the case. I didn’t remember the wedding 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. Our wedding guest book had little snowflakes and hints of blue and little crystals placed on it. They also had the wedding pens that went perfectly with this gorgeous winter guestbook. Since I was looking for the perfect guest book and pen, I decided to choose our photo album too. 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. I thought they had quite a few great winter wedding accessories but I was really surprised to find our champagne flutes with the same design on the stems as they had on our guestbook and pen. They were so fantastic looking. The glassware, gel candles and lovely winter centerpieces I chose really made our tables look spectacular. If you’re like me and my fiance and you’re watching your budget, this place can really help with wholesale accessories and supplies they have to offer. As beautiful as it all was, it’s hard to believe they didn’t cost a lot more.

There were a lot of cake toppers to check out too. It was the perfect wedding topper for the bride and groom and the joys of the winter season. Our wedding cake was a five tiered with white sugar snowflakes and winter designs of icy blue and reds. This beautiful winter wedding cake was displayed on a silver sled cake stand. 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.

We had snowmen place card holders on the reception tables for all of our guests. There were also snowflake gel candles for everyones wedding favors gift. But what I thought was a really decorative addition to the tables were the snowflake favor boxes their wedding favors came in. They really made the tables look so festive. The wedding pens 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. All of their decorating ideas and selections really helped me with so much of the planning.

found a pretty cool Ring Bearer Pillows!!

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

Online shopping for our reception accessories, flower baskets, and ring bearer pillows was my mom’s idea. 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. They even had the type of invitations I was looking for, and a lot of discounted items to choose from too. 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. I was surprised there could be so many styles and designs for satin ring pillows.

I couldn’t believe the lovely centerpieces and champagne flutes there were for the guests, with special bride and groom flutes too. Along with the glassware I added beautiful candles to make each table setting as elegant as possible. There was such an assortment of themed wedding and destination wedding ideas, and a great selection of wedding favors too. 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.

As wedding favors I chose crystal paperweights for all of 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. It really was an especially beautiful cake topper with a lovely butterfly and a satin bow.

Everyone seemed impressed with the décor and their wedding favors. Some of the guests came up and thanked me for their gifts and told me how beautiful they were. But, there’s more to this place than just a ring 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. My sister just told me the other day that she got all the favors and supplies she needed for my bridal shower at the same place I bought my wedding supplies. 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. Even though there are a lot of neutral colors I could use, I’d rather try to have the décor and supplies in a boy or girl theme.

My mother’s suggestion on shopping by computer really helped out a lot in terms of time and money. I also want to thank her for helping with the reception arrangements and filling out all those thank you cards. You’re really a life saver 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 found suggestions that would be perfect for our mom and dayd’s 30th wedding anniversary party. I think I’ll get a hold of my sister so we can check out the possibilities together. No use waiting until the last minute, it’s not that much longer before they reach their 30th year as man and wife.
