Have Some Fun With Beach Wedding Cakes
December 31, 2009
With nary a backwards glance, couples today are saying “No thanks” to the stiff formality and societal rules which governed weddings for the last 100 years! Couples are being married while underwater, while bungee jumping, while skiing…and yes, while wandering barefoot along a beach, with warm sand, sun and water forming the perfect backdrop for a unique and romantic wedding.
The wedding cake should reflect the theme of your nuptuals; in this case adventurous and untraditional. While our own imagination is the only limit to what can be done with a beach themed cake, there are some decisions that will have to be made early in the process. The first thing to consider is your budget and how many guests will be served. Professionally made cakes range in price from $2.00 to $15.00 and typically weigh just two ounces.

The Uniqueness of Wedding Ceremony Fans
December 24, 2009
Have you ever heard of wedding ceremony fans? If you haven’t, you surely are behind the times. Wedding ceremonies are no longer the simple affairs they used to be in the olden days. In today’s complex and highly individuated world, people feel a need to stand out from the crowd and do things in their own way. This quest for novelty and innovation is felt even by betrothed couples who try to make their wedding ceremonies unique and unforgettable.
One of the new ideas which is gaining ground is the concept of having wedding ceremony fans – fans that can keep your guests cool and sweat-free while at the same time letting them know about your wedding program. Wedding ceremony fans are basically paper fans that your guests can flap with their hands to keep themselves cool, especially if your wedding ceremony takes place during warm weather or if it is conducted outdoors.
They can be customized and made available in variety of papers and colors. You can also design them in accordance with your wedding theme. In addition, you can print pictures or photographs on these fans. But remember to choose a lighter color when choosing to print photos, because on papers of darker colors, it may not be possible to print pictures.

Those who have come a great distance for the celebration would appreciate a thank you note on some local stationary along with local mementos or brochures to remember their trip. These simple acts will be greatly appreciated by your out-of-town guests. At the ceremony, make sure your attendees have access to beautiful colored facial tissues or vintage linens for dabbing away those tears of joy.
A special letter to your family, especially your mother and father, can convey all your appreciation for their hard work and efforts towards the wedding. A letter such as this will be treasured for years to come. You could even start your wedding ceremony at a time that is of importance to you as a couple, or your family. If a loved one recently died, you could start the ceremony at 8:22 pm, to commemorate a family member that passed on 8/22 (August 22nd).
