Unique Wedding Favors

April 15, 2013

One of the latest trends for wedding favors in 2013 would be offering guests “green” friendly gifts such as planting seeds and tree sapling. In using these items as wedding favors, this small token of appreciation is something that the guests can treasure for a lifetime. Not only is this a memorable favor, but also it is a personalized gift from the bride and groom.

Here are a few wedding favors ideas for your upcoming wedding:

Potted Plants: By using small inexpensive plants in a mini flower pot this could also serve as an escort card and a wedding favor gift when guest’s names are attached to the favor. By using flowers, such as perennials, would be easier for guests to plant either indoor or outdoor.

Tree Sapling: By gifting a tree to your guests as a couple, could show that you’re appreciative for them being a part of your wedding and you’re welcoming them into your growing family tree. Please be sure to pick a tree that fits within your climate.

Drink Up! – Beverage Stations

April 5, 2013

An imaginative way to get creative and display your drinks at any event is best when you setup a drink station. These stations allow guests to refresh on cool drinks on warm spring days or warm up with a tasty drink choice during the fall.

Take a look at these tips on setting up your Drink Station at your next event:

Use accessories such as drink tags, paper straws, and decorative glasses to make your drink station stand out.
Find and use unique beverage dispensers, it is best to use the same dispensers for each drink station.
To add an element of color, have colored sugar around the glass rim of your drink ware.
Try adding a chalkboard that announces the drink station. This is also another creative way to display drink choices.
Take time and choose the right drinks for your station. Try using drink colors that will reflect your color scheme.
Remember to decorate the space around the drink station. By using banners or paper lanterns in your color scheme, helps create a fun station.
