The Best Place for Glasses Favors!

   I had already decided from the beginning of planning this wedding and reception that I was going to get beautiful crystal party favors and glass favors for our friends and family, and after I checked out all the crystal and glass wedding favors I knew for sure that was the gifts I wanted to go with. They have such beautiful sparkly thank you gifts and when I showed them to my fiance, he agreed that they were pretty nice. He really liked the shot glasses and mugs. Infact he decided to get personalized mugs for each of the groomsmen that say groomsman on them. I went with a necklace for my bridesmaids that had gorgeous crystals all through it. I was also able to get some great deals on my ceremony needs and reception supplies.

   For a surprisingly low price, I picked up a matching set with a garter for the ceremony, a basket for the flower girl, a pillow for the ring bearer, and a sign in book and pen for the guests. There were plenty of ceremony accessories, including lovely tiaras and combs to choose from too. Without even leaving my home, I purchased everything I needed for my wedding day. That sure saved wear and tear on my nerves and my legs, not to mention all the money I saved by ordering a few of the discount accessories. There was an exact replica of my man and I, only a several inches high, that was custom-made for us for our cake topper. That may be my favorite souvenier from the entire day, and it looked so cool. We got champagne glasses and cake serving utensils with crystal handles that had the words bride and groom embossed on them, and they were just gorgeous. I even ordered some champagne glasses as extra gifts for our friends and family. Each of the women at our wedding got crystal gifts, and each of the men who were our guests got shot glass gifts. The crystal thank you gifts I found for the ladies were lovely crystal perfume bottles that were attached to a keychain and you can carry your favorite fragrance around with you everywhere you go. It struck me as a brilliant little concept. The containers they arrive in are silver and have a pretty bow and hang tags. The place card holders for the reception were attractive and unusual as well. They were little clusters of grapes, made of glass and the place card fit right in the center of the grapes. The reception tables shimmered because of them.
   While I was looking through all the accessories and supplies they had, I found out they also have some pretty nice crystal and glass thank you gifts for other occasions too. Like baby showers and wedding shower parties. Some very attractive examples included ones with baby designs, like shoes and strollers. Someday I hope to have a baby shower given for me and I hope they know about this online store I use. I picked out many items at bargain prices, and there was no shortage of selection. Not having to spend those few extra bucks can be very important when you’re first married.

Need opinions on the centerpiece debate: flowerpot or tier?

Porcelain Favors
Okay, so I had totally settled on a cupcake tier at each table to double as a centerpiece and allow everyone to have their cupcakes without having to go to the cake table.

Then I realized a slight
problem. The cupcake tiers I bought (at like $10 each) held 13 cupcakes, and I planned to put 12 cupcakes on it and a candle on the top spot. Well, there are only 8 people at each table, so I’d have to buy 50% more cupcakes than necessary (plus the cupcakes I want
at the actual cake table for pics). Budget-wise this will be cupcake overload.
Then, I just saw these pictures on http://iheartcuppycakes.com and LOVE this idea. It will take more work on my part to put it all together, but I bet the supplies are cheaper than the real cupcake tiers, and I have more control over how many cupcakes are used!
The cupcake pot in the picture even uses my colors, which is super cool. So, I need your help…traditional cupcake tier or flower pots?

Can Someone Please Explain to Me the Wedding Jump Picture?

Porcelain Favors
There are many wedding traditions that I just don’t understand (and incidentally won’t do).  Today let’s focus on the Jump Picture.  It’s a simple question- “why?”  I mean, really, WHY?

No one looks good in the jump picture.  Every bride I know has had a hard time picking out which pictures they want printed from the thousands of pics taken, and the jump picture never makes the cut.
Is it a sadistic way for photographers to get back at an annoying bridal party?  ”When I say jump, you say ‘how high?’”
I can guarantee that there will be no jump picture in my wedding album.  I will be sure to write that into my photographer’s contract.

365 days and counting….YIKES!!!!

Porcelain Favors
Happy May Day and welcome to my revelation that in exactly 365 days, I will be Mrs. Harris.  YIKES!!!

It just occurred to me that no matter how little I do to advance the planning of the wedding, the days keep ticking away.  
Now that I’m all moved into my new place, I should probably get back to work on the wedding planning.
For now, I’ll leave you with a wicked awesome cake pic I found.  I like anything in my wedding colors….
