Creative and thoughtful thank you gifts

by

In today's fast-paced society, one tradition that has sadly fallen by the wayside is the giving of thank you gifts. Whether it's a neighbor shoveling your driveway, a teacher writing you a recommendation or just simple employee appreciation, make them feel extra-special by sending along a little token of your thanks. Here are a few ideas for some unique and affordable thank you gifts that will help you properly express your gratitude.

There are, of course, plenty of gift baskets you can buy that will do the trick, but a personal touch will show that you've really put thought into your gift (and save you money!) Personalized candy wrappers with "thank you" written on them are an effective and cute way to make your present a memorable one. Throw a few of these into a box of homemade cookies and you've got yourself a package anyone would be happy to receive.

Of course, don't forget to include a note! A simple "thank you for your help" will go a long way towards making your recipient feel appreciated.

Unique wedding invitations

While the traditional big, white wedding invitation has its merits, there's something to be said about shaking things up and going a different route. Nowadays, people are trying out new and exciting ways to tell their loved ones about upcoming nuptials. Here are a few ideas to spice up your wedding invitations.

Balloon invitations are a great way to engage your guests and get them excited for the ceremony. You can get a balloon printed with you and your fiancé's names, along with the wedding date. More tech-savvy couples can film themselves inviting guests. Simply edit the video on your computer and email everyone on the guest list!

Why wait until the day off to give wedding favors? Personalized candy wrappers are a delicious and unforgettable way to make your guests feel special. Simply throw a few in there along with the invitation and the recipient will instantly be looking forward to the big day (and the promise of more candy!)

Wedding favors that will leave your guests satisfied

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.

Will and Kate have sent their wedding invitations!

Those who have been religiously following the wedding planning of Prince William and Kate Middleton are in luck, as new information has been released about the upcoming royal nuptials. According to People magazine, the couple has mailed their wedding invitations.

"They're in the process of being sent out," an insider told the news source. The invitations were kept in the office of Lord Chamberlain, the man responsible for sending the cards to the appropriate people.

While most people may not receive an invitation in the mail, they can still celebrate the impending vows of the beautiful young couple. The Nottingham Post reports that Castle Rock Brewery is making a special beer to commemorate the royal wedding, fittingly titled Kiss Me Kate ale. It is set to hit pubs one month before the April 29 ceremony.

"Kiss Me Kate will be elegant, tasteful and British to the core," Castle Rock head brewer Adrian Redgrove told the news outlet. "It'll be brewed to 5 percent, pale in color and we're sure it'll be the ideal way to toast the couple's future happiness. We'll certainly be enjoying it in our celebrations here at the brewery."

How to bring the outdoors inside on your wedding day

by

Sometimes, there are factors that make an outdoor wedding impossible, such as the weather or finding a venue that can accommodate your needs. However, if you have to say "I do" inside, you can still have a wonderful outdoor-inspired wedding – just get creative!

When selecting a venue, look for places with floor-to-ceiling windows as well as skylights. You can bask in the natural light and enjoy the beautiful scenery without being at the mercy of the elements.

Incorporate nature-inspired decorations into the decor. Fill the space with floral arrangements and use a color scheme that embodies your natural surroundings – verdant greens and rich pinks for a summery feel, or silvers and whites for a snowy, wintertime affair.

Choose wedding favors with personalized wrappers that reflect the outdoors as well. Opt for labels that have images of flowers or leaves, and place one favor by the plate of each guest – you don't want anybody to leave empty-handed!

Just because you're exchanging vows in a rainy or cold climate doesn't mean you can't enjoy the outdoors on your big day. Plan carefully and you can have a beautiful wedding inspired by the great outdoors.
