Sports Wedding Cake Toppers - A fun way to include sports

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

Okay, now we all know how passionate some of us - and probably our grooms even more - can be about sports.  Whether it’s football, baseball, soccer, or whatever we enjoy playing or watching the most, we LOVE our sports!  Sometimes, we’re not sure if our dear fellows will be returning any time soon once they’re off to the sporting event.  And some of us ladies are just about the same - especially when we’re in the middle of our sport’s “in” season.  With such a love for sports and our teams, there are plenty of opportunities to incorporate that into your weddings.  Now, most of us won’t be embroidering a team logo on our gowns or anything, but how about a smaller touch?  Sports wedding cake toppers may be just that “smaller touch”.  Chances are high that your guests will also be sports enthusiasts, so they’re going to love it when they see a sport wedding cake topper at your reception.

Some of the most popular styles are:

  • Golf wedding cake toppers
  • Baseball wedding cake toppers
  • Football wedding cake toppers
  • Fishing wedding cake toppers
  • Motorsport wedding cake toppers

If you already have a vision for your bride’s cake, sports wedding cake toppers make the perfect theme for your groom’s cake which are popular in some regions.  The figurines can also be used for cake table decor, rehearsal dinners, engagment parties, and better yet, they can be displayed in your home after the big day.

Ring Bearer Pillows - Making your ring bearer feel special

Friday, September 18th, 2009

It’s a very important job for that special boy to carry those rings down the aisle during your ceremony.  OK, so they may not be the REAL rings he’s carrying, but the task is just as important to him.  Ring bearer pillows are great way to make sure your ring bearer feels a very special part of the event.  Pillows are light to carry and  most pillows have a strap on the back of the pillow for the ring bearer to insert his hands for a secure grip.

Unity Candle Sets - Symbolizing your wedding day love

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

You’ve walked down the aisle and you’ve said your vows.  Now it’s time to unite your love in a ceremony that’s all your own.  Consider lighting a unity candle or having a unity sand ceremony for this special part of your wedding.  Unity candles consist of 3 candles - two taper candles and one main central pillar candle.  Parents or a family member from each side of the family light a taper candle before they are seated for the wedding ceremony.  When ready, the bride and groom each take a pre-lit taper and together use the flames to light the main central pillar candle.  The taper candles are blown out and the single united flame remains as a symbol of your love united.  This candle can be kept as a keepsake and lit again on anniversaries to remind you of the vows you took on your wedding day.

A newer trend involves the sand unity ceremony.  Different colored sands are poured from two or more containers into one container creating a layered look.  A beautiful keepsake for the home after the wedding as well as a great way to involve children in the wedding ceremony itself.

Countdown to the Big Day the Fun way!

Friday, August 21st, 2009

Whether you’re getting married on a grand scale or in a small, intimate setting, whether the big day is two months away or two years away, you’re probably so excited that you’re counting down the days and the minutes to the big event.  Here’s a fun way to count down to the day or even the second that you walk down that aisle.

The Wedding Countdown Clock is easily progammable to your wedding date.  It then counts down to the exact second of your wedding day.  On the appointed day, the display will begin to flash and it will continue flashing for 24 hours.  Then at the touch of a button it will function as a regular clock.

WEDDING COUNTDOWN CLOCK

The Wedding Countdown Calendar is ideal for a wall or desk display.  It’s the perfect way to enjoy the anticipation of your wedding day…and even help you plan the big event with tips and ideas. Each day you can enjoy the anticipation of your big wedding day by tearing off another page of the countdown calendar.

Guest Books and Pens

Friday, August 14th, 2009

The guest book is a formal register that your guests sign as they arrive at the ceremony or reception.  It serves as a memento of who attended your wedding.  This book is often placed outside the ceremony or reception site, along with an elegant pen and penholder.  A guest book attendant is responsible for inviting all guests to sign-in.  A younger sibling or close friend who is not part of the wedding party may be well-suited for this position.

There are many style guest books, pens, and penholders to choose from.  Some books have space for your guests to write a short note to the bride and groom. View our many styles of Guest Books

INSIDE PAGES OF GUEST BOOK

Some things to consider:  Make sure you have more than one pen in case one runs out of ink.  If you are planning a large ceremony (over 300 guests), consider having more than one book and pen so that your guests don’t have to wait in line to sign-in.   View all of our Guest Book Pens
