Perfect cheap wedding pens

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Going online seemed like a good idea to find a wedding guest pen and other supplies. 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. At first, I kinda wished we were getting married in early December so we could have a Christmas wedding, with a big tree and everything Christmasy. But from all the themed wedding accessories I’ve seen, a winter wedding is beautiful too. A winter wedding was the one I chose. Now it was time to put my plans in motion.

First I found the perfect winter wonderland wedding invitations to send to our friends and family. Then I went for all the winter accessories for our wedding ceremony, from flower girl basket to ring boy pillow. I was sure I picked out all the accessories I had to have for our winter wedding, but that wasn’t the case. The wedding guestbook and wedding pen completely slip my mind. Then I checked out all the winter guest books and wedding pen sets available until I found just the right one for our ceremony. The guest book was designed with snowflakes and a little blue thrown in with sparkling little crystals. They also had the wedding pens that went perfectly with this gorgeous winter guestbook. While I was on the search for our guest book and pen, I also decided to find our wedding photo album. There were a lot of wedding albums to choose from, but what really surprised me was all the anniversary albums they had available. I planned to keep this in mind for future references.

It was time now, to check out ideas for decorating our reception and getting our supplies. They had it all as far as winter wonderland wedding supplies, and the first thing I bought for the reception were the champagne flutes, designed to match our wedding guest book and pen. They have such beautiful wedding stemware. With all the beautiful crystal champagne flutes, the gel candles and the exceptional looking centerpieces I picked out, our reception tables were simply elegant. We were also able to get quite a few accessories and supplies at a discount and save money on our wedding expenses, which really helped us out. 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. We had a beautiful cake topper with a bride and groom enjoying the winter season. Our wedding cake was a five tiered with white sugar snowflakes and winter designs of icy blue and reds. Our choice of a wedding cake stand was a big silver sled. Our sled cake stand got a lot of compliments from our friends and family and I had to thank my fiance for that creative suggestion.

On our the reception tables for our friends and family I had chosen these adorable little snowmen place card holders. I also chose wedding favors that were little snowflake gel candles for our guests. One of the prettiest decorations to the reception table was the gorgeous snowflake boxes the wedding favors were boxed in for our friends and family. They really made the tables look so festive. The cheap wedding pens went over surprisingly well, and everyone really had a wonderful time at the reception. The wedding ceremony and the winter reception was everything I wanted it to be, and I’m so glad I decided to give the online shopping a try. It really helped out a lot with the planning and decorating.

I found lots of pretty cool Ring Bearer Pillows

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

When it came to the flower girl baskets, ring bearer pillows and reception supplies, I took my mom’s advice and went shopping online. 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. I found everything from invitations to wedding favors, and some items at wholesale prices. There was also quite a few other items that I was able to get at a discount. I found a lot of my accessories for my bridesmaids, flower girl at a great price and there were unique ring bearer pillow wedding ideas to work with too. I couldn’t believe all the adorable ideas for satin ring pillows.

There was everything I needed for my reception supplies.There were elegant choices of candles and glassware to enhance my tables. They had a lot of suggestions for themed weddings and even destination weddings, with all kinds of wedding favor ideas. 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. Our cake topper was so beautiful it almost out shined our wedding cake. It really was an especially beautiful cake topper with a lovely butterfly and a satin bow.

I got so many compliments on my décor and wedding favor gifts. I got so many thank you’s from our guests for their gifts. What I really liked about this place I shopped was the fact they have more than just cake toppers and a ring bearer pillow. There were all kinds of supplies and great ideas for birthdays, wedding showers, baby showers, and girls night out parties too. Ijust found out that this is where my sister got everything she needed for my wedding shower. She said mom had told her about it too.

I’m planning on giving my sister a baby shower next month and I know exactly where I’m getting the party supplies and cake topper. 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. My mom also helped me so much with arranging my reception and helping me get the thank you cards all done. You’re really a life saver mom. Maybe I can use this online shopping thing for our future anniversary parties. They had some very nice ideas for anniversaries, like decorations, cake toppers and even favor gifts for guests. There were some very excellent selections for mom and dad’s 30th anniversary. Me and my sister should look at 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.
