The Origami Of My Dream Wedding

Finding Your Soul Mate

As I prepare for my wedding I am often asked about how I met my spouse.  Truth be told, when people hear that I met him on the internet they are in awe that we met online and chatted for a good 6 yrs before I came to Canada and now are getting married after having a child with him.  We have been together technically for about 14 yrs now.

So how do you find your soul mate? While some may be skeptical about chat lines and making friends with a complete stranger, isn’t it the same even if you met him personally or were introduced to each other by a mutual friend?  My advice about0 these adult chat rooms is to use common sense and also keep an open mind.  Even if you don’t make it as soul mates you can still be good friends. Free chats are always fun, you never know who you might meet and I really truly feel that getting to know the person over the internet or phone first before embarking into anything serious isn’t a bad thing at all.

Bridemaid’s Gift

If my brides maid were paying for some of my stuff for the wedding, i really wouldn’t mind spending more on their thank you gifts. This swarovski crystal bracelet with monogram charm is definitely a good and gorgeous looking gift.  With Swaroski crystal as well as fresh water pearls, definitely something i would loved too.  The silver circle charm can be engraved with your choice of interlocking three letter monogram or single initial. You can choose from 12 accent crystal colors to match your bridesmaid dresses for a special touch.  At $25 .. i’m sure your bridesmaid deserves it.

Edible Wedding Favors

So unique right..?? especially for those who have aunts and uncles attending the wedding.  I’m sure they would appreciate a good bag of tea. Comes in Ginger, Citrus mint, Earl Grey and Jasmine too.  Each sachet is individually packaged in a beautiful, textured triangular box, sealed for freshness and measures 3 inches tall with a base 1 3/8 inch wide. Present them with our custom ceramic dripping trays to accent your table setting.

Very unique right..??  To use the tea sachet, unwrap the protective cover and stand the infuser in your cup. Pour boiling water in and exquisite tea will start to brew. The sachet maintains its elegant form, and the upward lifted leaf and cotton stem creates a convenient handle.  Order from Beau Coup.

Bridal Shower Invitation Samples

I took a look at some shower invitation samples .. and wondering if i should spend a lot of invitation samples..??  I’m trying to save some money on that.. but i guess if you want people to come for your bridal shower.. you kinda have to have some kinda invites right..?  Something simple.. and not so girly please..!

They say to try and give as much information as possible.. and if it is hosted in a house, a private map would be great. Don’t forget to put the full name of the bride.. and the date and time is important.. the venue, if you are planning a theme, it would be good to add on the invite.. so that the guests would come appropriately dressed.  Tell your guests what kinda food you are serving.. and make sure .. you ask them to RSVP .. else you might get too much party favors.. and also food.  Don’t waste food eh .. another thing would be not to include children.. if you don’t want to .. but let your guests know in advance.  I would include a spa session.. or even a makeover during the bridal shower .. if i can afford it.

But who pays for the bridal shower..?? the bride..?? the groom.. ?? or the parents..?? or the maid of honor..?? pray tell.

Starfish Candle Holder

I can’t resist this candle holder as a wedding favor .. i know the ladies would love it.. but what about the men.. that comes for our wedding..?? Minimum of 24 to order.. at $2.49 a piece. So what kinda wedding favor is great for both men and women..?? or should i go about getting different ones..??

Bridal Shower Favor

I wanted to get something for those who attends my wedding shower.. to bring home something that they will always remember this nite by but not too, too expensive. And even after the wedding .. they can use it for other stuff.. or put in their own mint. At $2.72 a pop.. i think it is not bad at all.

This plantable wedding favor is quite unique. Showing that Love Grows .. it symbolizes your love.. and those ppl that you’ve invited for the shower.. that there is hope.. and love can grow as well for them. They come in a set of 12 at about $21.

How about some rose scented heart soap with a lovely silver heart charm. Comes with a heart shape gift box.. and tied up with organza ribbon. At only $2.58 for one if you order more than 48 pieces of it.  Get them at wedding-favours.ca
