Favors are a small token of appreciation to all your guests and family for all their love and support. With such a large selection of wedding favors to choose from, finding exactly the right favor to compliment your unique style, color scheme or wedding theme can be difficult.
Consider placing your favors, at each guest’s place setting. This will help to “dress up” your reception tables. Many favors double as place card holders, so you can direct your guests to the right seat.

Green Day: Fair Trade Favors

by Nicole of mywedding.com

Choosing favors for your guests can be a daunting task. What will you give them that really says, "thank you for sharing this important day with us" without spending a fortune? Also, when you’re planning a green wedding, ordering 200 plastic bell-shaped trinkets with your initials printed on the side doesn’t make sense. What can you give your guests that won’t end up in the garbage the day after your wedding? Give them something that will end up in their mouths instead!
As we all know, food is a complicated issue in today’s world. Where our food comes from, how it’s grown or raised, the impact these things have on our environment and how farmers and workers are treated are all issues that have surfaced in recent years when considering what to eat. One way to ensure that you give your guests a treat that is sustainable to all is to buy food that is fairly traded. Go to full post

We are saying "I Do" in an age where just about everything wedding-related can be done electronically, from the invitations to the photo album. Before we know it, couples will be text-messaging their vows to one another instead of saying them aloud, and will spend their honeymoons enjoying copious amounts of cyber-sex. Wait a minute…there is such a thing as too much technology, isn’t there? I would argue that there are at least two places (besides the honeymoon suite) where electronic communication should play no role in your nuptials: At the altar, and in place of hand-written thank-you notes for gifts. (All together now: "Do I haaave to?") Well yes, you must pick up the pen and here’s the short reason why: Because it’s personal, and a wedding is a personal affair.

We can’t wait to hear all about the Egyptian cotton bath towels, silk linens and Vera Wang Dishes that our fiancées bring home from wedding showers. Sharing the joy of these items with our fiancés is one thing, but there’s definitely a reason why we aren’t usually invited to these soirees!

About ACherryonTop.com
ACherryonTop.com began in a shoebox over 11 years ago as Stickers Galore! A scrapbooking hobby became a quest to find the newest and the best scrapbooking products. The hobbyist told her friends about her new interest through the Internet, which was a still a relatively new fad among those who had computers. What began as a few friends sharing the bargains has become one of the world’s largest online scrapbooking stores. What began as a shoebox full of stickers has exploded into a large selection of scrapbooking supplies, papers, embellishments, albums, and so much more.
