Wedding favors that will leave your guests satisfied

by

There's no better way to ensure that your wedding guests feel are beaming after the reception than to leave them with a goodie bag filled with personalized gifts. Here are a few party favor ideas that will make your reception that much more special for those in attendance.

While champagne flutes and bottle stoppers may have once been popular wedding favors, many couples nowadays are looking for a personal touch that really leaves their guests feeling appreciated.

There are a ton of options when deciding what to put in these grab bags. If you or your newly-betrothed have a favorite candy bar you can include it with a personalized candy wrapper. A tin of mints is another classic choice.

Perhaps you'd like to give something with a little more – shall we say – utility. A personalized shot glass is a gift that will find itself in use for years to come!

Whatever you decide, have each bag labeled and waiting for its owner at his or her chair as they enter the reception hall. Attaching a little thank you note to the bag is a nice way to make your guests feel welcome.

Kick the winter doldrums with an outdoor birthday party

by

While the outdoors may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of places to hold a winter birthday party, there are a lot of advantages to throwing one! For your sake, you won't have to keep a watchful eye on a dozen little kids hopped up on sugar running through your house and the little ones will adore the chance to run and play in the snow.

There are so many different directions you can go with a party such as this that you're bound to find something that will appeal to you and the children. Pack up some hot drinks and a cake and take the kids sledding for a couple of hours. Or how about ice skating? Drive over to a park with a pond and let the kids slide around! And if you live in a city there's likely an indoor rink nearby.

If you would still like to keep things at your house, simply have the kids build snowmen out in the backyard after celebrating inside. You can supply shovels, pales and other toys that will help sculpt and move the snow. Just be sure to mention on the birthday party invitations to bring proper snow gear!

Throw a princess baby shower for your loved one’s impending arrival

by

Thank heaven for little girls! Although having a son is a wonderful thing, there's something special about our daughters. It goes without saying that they can melt our hearts even when they're running amuck throughout the day and causing a commotion all evening.

If you currently have a close friend or family member who is expecting a girl, why not throw her a princess-inspired baby shower? By the time her little one is old enough to walk and talk, it's likely she'll be obsessed with frilly get-ups and pretty pink dresses anyway.

First, pick out some extra sweet baby shower invitations. Remember, if the affair isn't a surprise, you may want to get the expectant mama's input on what she loves best.

Additionally, don't forget to stock up on amazing party extras. Candy wrapper favors that feature the mom-to-be's image on them will be especially appreciated. Give guests one each and the woman of honor a few more – after all, she's currently eating for two, and you'll want to keep her sweet tooth satiated.
