Unique Wedding Invitation Ideas

Gary — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 04:27:46 +0000

Today’s trends in wedding stationery are a far cry from what it was in your mother’s or your grandmother’s day. Brides no longer have to stick to white, and there are multiple options available in any color of the rainbow. In the past, it was easy to make your wedding invitation cards stick out by just adding a hint of color. Nowadays, with the multitude of designs available, it may take a little more creativity to get truly unique wedding invitations into your guests’ mailboxes. Here are some elements you can play with to achieve a different style of card that will leave a lasting impression on your guests.

Shape

Most wedding invitations still come in the traditional rectangular card shape. More brides are starting to branch out and send square cards, but not many have tapped into the various other shapes available. You can choose a long, layered invitation or a die-cut card in a wedding motif. Invitations in the shape of a bride’s dress, or of a sandal for a beach-themed wedding are certainly different from the norm.

Fold Instead of a simple open and shut card, choose a different type of fold to add some flair to your wedding invitations. A three-way gate fold, a pocket style design or a diagonal fold will add texture to your cards. These folds can set different tones for your wedding depending on the material and colors you choose. A pink-polka dotted pocket invitation would suit a more casual wedding, while a black and silver monogrammed card would suit a more chic urban affair.

Wrapping Intensify the suspense of your guests by wrapping your invitations. Guests will have to do some work to unveil the details of your event, but they should be intrigued in the process. Wrap white invitations in black for a fancy event, or show how decadent your wedding will be with an elegant floral wrap. Patterns depicting roses, dark reads and pinks all can give a unique and romantic touch to your wedding invitations.

When choosing your unique wedding invitation, just make sure you don’t go overboard. Guests may get confused if they receive a lime green, pocket-folded and wrapped invitation. Using one of the elements
mentioned above should be sufficient to set your wedding invitation apart. You want your invitation to be different, but you certainly don’t want it to be so frustrating to open that your guests become flustered.

Combing one of these ideas with your wedding colors should get you on track to hosting a
memorable wedding.

A Wedding Favors History

Gary — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 04:21:35 +0000

Wedding favors has been widely known for its purpose during a wedding. Each year, manufacturers create different varieties of styles and designs for favors to incorporate in today’s wedding fashion trend. But have you ever wondered where favors came from? I bet couples don’t give too much attention to this question, but anyway let’s just review the history of wedding favors.

Since ancient time, wedding favors have been a part of wedding tradition and etiquette and widely practiced worldwide. From different range of cultures, giving favors during weddings symbolizes good luck from the wedded couple. The practice is believed to have started when a couple gave away biscuits, fruits and nuts for their guests to eat while the ceremony is ongoing. This tradition was then adapted by early European upper society who are wealthy enough to give elegant gifts to their guests such as silks, scarves and incense.

Traditional wedding favors before are somewhat similar with wedding favors today. Keepsakes before come in many forms, shapes and sizes as well. Popular keepsakes they give are figurines, magnets, bottle openers and more. However, mostly the choices are with accordance to the couple’s desire. Some couples want simple gifts to give like candles or elaborate ones like small gift boxes. Gift boxes are called bomboniere by Italians while the French called it bonbonniere, these boxes are usually filled with confectionery delicacies like sugar cubes which are highly valued and quite expensive that time. These gift boxes were not made from ordinary boxes alone, rather they are mostly made from porcelain, crystals or covered with precious stones. Giving bonbonniere wasn’t strictly for wedding celebration alone. They can also be given during other occasions like birthdays, baptism and the like.

Why are wedding favors popular? Because these can make special gifts to give for family members, guests and wedding participants like bridesmaids, groomsmen and more.

If you’re having a beach theme wedding, finding beach wedding favors that aren’t dull and boring can sometimes be a challenge. While traditional wedding favors such as cheese spreaders and bottle toppers are a classic way to thank your guests for being with you on your special day, coming up with new beach wedding favor ideas can be a fun and creative way to let your guests know that you care.

Flip Flops

An easy and fun beach wedding favor to give your guests is a pair of flip flops! They’re actually fairly inexpensive and come in a variety of sizes and colors. You don’t have to be exact on the size – just grab a wide range of both men’s and women’s sizes and everyone should be able to find something that fits
Tie each set to a guest’s chair or throw them in a big basket at the entrance to your reception for guests to pick up.

Beach Favor Boxes

An inexpensive and fun way to create beach wedding favors is to find bulk beach favor boxes or bags and fill them with whatever you want! Fill them with flower seeds, birdseed, chocolates, Jordan almonds, scented soaps, bath salts or anything else you can come up with! Tie the finished product with a color coordinated ribbon and you’ve got a creative beach wedding favor that was easy and simple to make and just as thoughtful!

Drink Mixes

A beach wedding is practically synonymous with chilled mojitos and cool pina coladas. What’s more refreshing at a hot beach reception than an ice cold cocktail? Let your guests take home the magic of cocktails on the beach with a personalized packet of mojito or other cocktail mix. When your guests get home, they simply follow the mixing directions and in just a few minutes they’ll have a drink as delicious as they did at your reception!

Sunscreen

Everyone needs sunscreen at a beach wedding, but many people forget to bring it! Don’t let your guests get burned at your ceremony or reception. You don’t have to make everyone share from the big bottle of discount sunscreen you got at the supermarket though – turn this opportunity to give your guests unique and useful beach wedding favors! Many online warehouses and wedding favor boutiques offer small bottles of sunscreen that you can have personalized with your names and wedding date!

Pass these out at the beginning of the ceremony to keep your guests from getting crisp! Use your beach wedding favors as an opportunity to let your creativity shine. Find something unconventional that is beach related and get a ton of them to give your friends and family at the wedding! No matter what it is, as long as it’s thoughtful and something that came from the heart, your guests will love them. You don’t have to stick with the expensive and traditional to let your guests know that you appreciate their presence on your big day.
