What To Do With This Program? (Day#15)

I have met several couples over my career that do not have ushers or hostesses to pass out wedding programs prior to the start of the ceremony.  They are always left with that dreaded question, what to do with those wedding programs?  Now understand, having a program ISN'T a "must have", but when they are not available, you'll find some guests questioning or walking around looking for one.  So how might you resolve this problem without laying the wedding programs on a non-descript table.  Check out the photos below:

Hold My Cards, Please (Day#14)

So the question of today is - what do I do with all these wedding cards once I've removed the checks and cash???  Your spouse will probably say, "Toss them", but you are thinking, "But I want to keep some of them."  Either this scenario is playing out in reality as you read this post or this conversation will surely happen once you return from the honeymoon.  Well check out this cool and easy idea that will allow you to keep those pretty little wedding cards.

All you need are 2-3 binder rings, a hole punch and ribbon to tie the "booklet" shut.  And there you have it...a keepsake that will take up very little space, but allow you to thumb through your wedding cards year, after year, after year!

Aww Sugar! Honey Honey! (Day #13)

Coffee and tea service typically happens once the wedding cake is served unless requested in advance during dinner.  Rather it be presented in a carafe on the guest tables or a coffee, tea and cake station is set-up inside of the reception space, guests tend to gravitate towards this beverage regardless of the season.  As an avid coffee lover, when I spotted this cute idea, I just had to share!

What about jazzing up that ceramic or glass coffee/tea mug with some sugar that does not come from the white, pink or blue packets.  These pretty shaped sugar "cubes" would add the finishing touch to your warm beverage.

 

And should you want to tackle a pretty simple DIY project, here are some easy instructions on how to make them from Nifty Thrifty Things.

Just A Little Lace (Day#12)

What do you think of when I mention the words "Romance", "Old World", "Glamorous", Vintage", "Traditional", and "Timeless"?  Well I'm hoping the word LACE, but if that didn't happen for you...go along with this post anyway.

As a bride, you'll find lace on wedding gowns, veils, shoes and accessories, but what about your wedding cake?  Consider taking a scrap piece of lace from your altered wedding gown and have them replicate the design onto your reception confection. Check out these cake beauties:

My Milkshake Brings...(Day #11)

***

Who doesn't love a good milkshake?  When thinking about a dessert table/buffet...everyone always fancies it up with cake, cookies, cupcakes and candies.  But what about adding a yummy beverage that's sure to bring a smile to your guest's face?!  Milkshake shooters are hip and "cool" and from the infamous words of Kelese, "My milkshake brings all the 'guests'..."  I'll just let you finish those lyrics :)

Ohhhh...and don't forget the jazzy straw to finish off your creamy delight!

Until next time...WEDologize!

Frame Around Your First Dance (Day#10)

I think the First Dance at any wedding is such a beautiful moment between newlyweds!  Even with hundreds of on-lookers, they still manage to carve out their own little private time within that 3-4 minute song. And of course the photographer is taking plenty of pictures to capture this special moment.  But how can you preserve this memorable dance for a life time?

How about writing the lyrics of your First Dance song
on a matte around the photo of your First Dance.
Frame and hang in your new home as husband and wife!
