Wedding Tradition: Why Wedding Favors are Essential

In today’s economic crunch most people are seeking ways to save money on things that don’t seem necessary. Brides are no different when shopping for their wedding. In trying to save a few bucks, you may be considering not providing favors for your guests. While this may seem like a good idea now, it is something you’ll no doubt regret later.

Giving favors to wedding guests is a time-honored tradition that dates back to the sixteenth century, when European aristocrats would present guests with small boxes of sugar cubes (a precious commodity in those times). The tradition has carried over to present day, often couples will present their guests with sweets. Giving favors is a singularly special way of thanking your guests for being a part of your special day.

For those who are trying to save money, or are looking for an original way to partake in this important tradition, there are a limitless number of ideas for favors. Your favors should reflect your style and the tone of your wedding. This can be done in many different ways. Sweets are the traditional gift given, so consider baking homemade cookies and putting them in bags with a thank-you note attached. For the environmentally-minded, consider giving individually potted plants, or seed packets. When your guests take these gifts home and plant them, they’ll be sure to remember your wonderful wedding. For a crafty bride, consider making your own candles or soaps with a signature scent.

Overall, wedding favors should be something that your guests will appreciate, and will make them remember you and your wedding day. Your guests bring you gifts, and giving them a small token in thanks is an honorable gesture that they will be grateful for.

Go Green with Eco-Friendly Wedding Favors

Being "Eco-Friendly" or even just "Eco-Conscious" is not just the latest trend; it’s the right thing to do! When you are planning your wedding there are many things you can do to make your big day Green.

I love outdoor ceremonies. Now maybe this is because I live in the Colorado Mountains, but there is just something about outdoor ceremonies that I enjoy. By not using the AC and other electricity needed to fuel an indoor event you are being more green by just going outside. Of course there is always the possibility of rain…so plan a back up just in case.

As your ceremony begins let your flower girl toss our Plantable Confetti Flowers instead of typically silk flower petals. When thrown outside the paper confetti will grow wildflowers!! (Be sure to get approval from your venue before tossing them).

After the "kiss" your guests can get the party started with our Biodegradable, Celebratory Wedding Poppers. They are a great alternative to throwing Rice at weddings!

Be sure to use decorations that can be reused. I attended a recent wedding reception that used gorgeous potted flowers as centerpieces. One person from each table got to take one home. That guest was able to “reuse” the centerpieces and it created less waste at the end of the event.

Eco-Friendly Favors are easy to find. Plantable Flower Seed Wedding Favors are a wonderful favor for your guests. Practical and "green" your guests will enjoy planting their wildflower favors in honor of your special day. My favorites are these Personalized Heart Flat Card Plantable Seed Favors. Not only are they just adorable, they can be personalized and each guest can take them home and plant the seeded paper. The seeded paper will grow wildflowers and give your guests a constant reminder of your special day.

Our Natural Bamboo Eco-Friendly Coasters are another great eco-friendly favor idea. Bamboo is a symbol of luck and success because of its strength, resilience and ability to grow quickly. It is said that bamboo is luckiest when you receive it as a gift, which makes these beautiful. Direct your guests to their seats with our Eco-Friendly Bamboo Place Card Holder with Matching Place Cards

After the big day thank your guests with these Plantable Thank Your Notes. They will appreciate your gratitude and enjoy the flowers that grow from the seeded paper.

When trying to go green for your wedding remember that there are many easy ways to incorporate Eco-Friendly themes through out your wedding. Just look at each part of your planning and think...how can I simplify this? Can this be re-used, is it really a practical favor for my guests. You'll find planning a eco-friendly wedding isn't so hard after all!

Tips to Buy “The One”

No, in this case “The One” is not referring to your hubby-to-be. It is referring to the dress, that special dress that will distinguish you from the bridesmaids. Some ladies may feel quite intimidated when it comes to the topic, and some may feel all for it and ready to go shopping! But for those of you who need a little guidance first, here you go!

First of all, do not go alone! Maybe for the first time when you are just window-shopping to get a feel for what would make you comfortable, fine. However, when you are trying some of those dresses on, you may feel slightly bombarded by the sales staff. So pack up your herd of girls and hit the stores! They will be delighted that they are sharing in such a huge decision, and they will be the ones to give you the more honest opinion you will definitely need.

Next is a two-in-one. Do not shop early and when you buy the dress, stop looking all together! When you shop too soon, the time between the purchase and the wedding may give you room for things to go wrong; something could happen to the dress, OR you might see another dress later that you love far more than the one you got! Which is why when you buy a dress, you stop looking. Your mind will be encouraged to think of other options, which will create doubt about the dress you bought.

Lastly, if you are the bride that by far looks good in everything, there might not be “the one,” but a few that are great. In which case, you might want to stick to the dress that flows best with the theme of your wedding. You will look amazing in your dress and it will feel right when you are walking down that aisle.

Do your homework when it comes to the purchase of your wedding dress. You don’t want to buy just anything, and you want to do your best to ensure you are still going to love it by the time that special day rolls around. So ladies, get to shopping!

Best and Worst Baby Shower Gifts Ever

Are you planning a baby shower for someone or need to find the perfect baby gift but are a little confused as to what a "good" baby gift or "bad" baby gift is? Here are a few tips that will help you find the perfect baby gift for the mommy-to-be.

Although it may seem on the boring and bland, diapers are one of the most appreciated baby gifts you can give to a mommy-to-be. You can give a couple of sizes or go for the gusto and give a "Diaper Cake". No, it's not edible but it comes with two or three layers of diapers arranged to look like an elegant cake. Other great baby gifts include items that will be used on a many-times-a-day basis such as blankets, socks, and clothes such as onesies and buntings that allow the baby to burp to his heart's content and always have a fresh change of clothing handy. Don't be afraid to buy these baby gifts in larger sizes. After several months, mom and dad will have new gifts for their ever-growing baby to continue to enjoy.

Savings bonds are also a sure bet as a great gift. Everyone else will be considering gifts that will fit the child's needs in the present, you will however be looking into the future. It also may jumpstart the parents to looking into setting up a small savings account for their child if they haven't done so already. want. Another great choice is to give a gift certificate from a local store or even better, if the parents have a gift registry set up. Bathtime gifts also make wonderful baby gifts!

Bad baby gifts usually fall into the column of being wasteful, useless or downright dangerous to the baby. One good example are baby wipe warmers. Most parents use baby wipes that have an alcohol base, the heat causes the wipes to warm but also the liquid they are soaked in to evaporate, the result is basically a dryer sheet that is supposed to be used on your baby. A great alterantive is to use your hands to warm the wipes before you warm them on your baby. It's fast, easy and free.

Breathless mattresses are a baby gift that have questionable safety. They are made to not sink when the baby is placed on them leaving parents the impression that the baby can be safely placed on her tummy without fear of suffocation. Best to stick to laying her on her back. A baby on her stomach can't turn her head easily if she burps up her lunch or dinner whereas a baby on her back and simply turn her head to the side and avoid inhaling what she's burped up.

Scary toys and toys with small, detachable parts that are too old for a little one that will soon be putting everything in his mouth are also bad gifts that will be put up until he's old enough or never given to the child at all. Magazine subscriptions have also started making appearances at baby showers, and no matter how it's presented a mommy-to-be may not love the NASCAR Racing magazine subscription for her soon arriving child.

Make safety and comfort of the baby your top priority when you're buying a baby gift and if you have kids, remember those things you really used the most and if you don't have kids - ask around. Most experienced mothers can tell you what makes a great baby gift. Use these tips and you'll make the best choice for your baby gift!

Wedding Favors Bridesmaids Will Love

The other half of the wedding party will include your bridesmaids and their gifts are traditionally chosen by the bride herself. Traditional gifts for bridesmaids include jewelry, such as bracelets and necklaces with a small charm engraved with each bridesmaid's initials. Made in sterling silver, this gift can be a wonderful gift and when you visit with someone that was in your wedding party years from now, she can hold up her wrist and show you the charm dangling, and you can both recall the day you took your vows and remember the lighthearted moments of the things that seem to go wrong and don't seem that funny at the time, even in the most thoroughly planned weddings but are remembered with a smile years later.

Since everyone seems to have a cell phone, cell phone bling is also a popular gift. Crystal or silver charms with the initials of the bridesmaid or date of the wedding engraved on them are also becoming very popular as part of a set of bridesmaids gifts.

Other gifts for bridesmaids include items she can use such as flower seeds to plant in her garden as a commemoration of your special day, a tote bag that will hold items for day to day errand running. Candles are also part of many bridesmaids gifts complete with an engraved candle holder with the date and names of the bride and groom.
