Hello everyone!

Have I found a gem of a site for you!  www.weddingwelcomekits.com

What is that you may be asking…

Everyone knows that when out of town guests make the time, spend the extra money to stay overnight, and whatever expenses are over and above what your local friends would be paying, that you should show them that your recognize and appreciate their time and effort. So, what to do? You don’t really have any extra time, but, you could welcome them to town with a lovely welcome box, which has been custom made just for you.

www.weddingwelcomekits.com does just that. They will personalize your boxes, include all the labels and ship them directly to your door. Whatever you were looking to put inside, special for your guests, is up to you. Rest assured, when they arrive and see these lovely boxes, they will know that you cared and recognized that they cared too.

The choices of color, font, ribbon and design are up to you and are listed clearly on the site. They even list their pricing, the only thing that you will have to wait on is the shipping price, which, they calculate via USPSs guidelines (they don’t upcharge on the shipping, what they are charged is what you are charged).

Your basic 10 pack  includes:

Welcome Box (White, Pink, Light Blue, Oatmeal or Gold) with a personalized label
Treat Box: 3x3x3 white treat box with a personalized label
Personalized Water Bottle Label
Welcome Card (one sided printing included)
Single ribbon for the Welcome Box and single ribbon for the Treat box

Total cost (plus shipping) $60.00 or $6.00 per kit. The costs go down at the 25 count mark, to $5.50 per kit.

Not bad! Take a look at their site and see what they have that will work for you!

Have a Welcoming and wholesale flower filled day!

Hi everyone!

Today we have a Local treat for PA, MD and DC brides. If you are looking for the perfect Officiant we have found her for you! Rev. Judith L. Guasch!

What do we love about Judith? How about everything!!!

As your wedding officiant, Rev. Guasch believes it is important to create a wedding ceremony with each couple that is as unique as they are, because each couple’s story is different and unique.  When working with couples, together, you will write a wedding ceremony which reflects your relationship, your spiritual values and your own cultural heritage.  With Rev. Guasch as your wedding officiant, You create a wedding ceremony all your own which bridges the old traditions with the modern contemporary in what she calls “Re-Traditionalizing.”   And when you have ownership, You are in control.  So, whether you are getting married for the first time, or renewing your vows, having a traditional wedding, Civil union, or doing something different in an unique setting, Rev. Guasch is the one and only wedding officiant who  will help you make your wedding day a day to truly remember!

One really cool element that Rev. Guasch brings to the table is that she actually helps you to “tie the knot”, This is accomplished via the Handfasting technique.”  The Ancient Celts tied knots over and around the hands of a couple during a marriage ceremony, so that the couple would be bound to a life of blessings, health, and happiness.  Hence we get the expression “Tie the Knot.” If you choose a handfasting ceremony with Rev. Guasch you can quite literally “tie the knot”, with the help of your friends and family; Creating a unique memory and a wonderful memento to have and to hold! 

Rev. Judith L. Guasch, M.Div. is a veteran of the U.S. Air Force.  She received her Masters of Divinity in 1999, and is a member of the Unitarian Universalist Church.

Hi everyone:

So, it’s time to play the “why should we spend our money on that?” game

You found the perfect location, you chose the perfect dress, you found just the right invitations, now, you just have to address them all.

What’s more personal than a custom handpainted gift item? I have found a very cool artist who can custom make your glassware and a whole lot more. Are you constantly looking for “just the right” gift? Do you have a loved one who has one of those names that you NEVER find on anything? What about something really different for your friend that has everything?

Check this site…http://www.aressa.etsy.com The painted house and more. This talented artist will make anything look more beautiful by hand painting or putting her talent to use on an ordinary hanger. Yes, you can buy “painted” glassware in most department stores, but, they are not custom designed, the colors aren’t your  1st choice, they don’t have your name painted on them, and they simply don’t say that you put very much thought into your choice.

If you are looking for a really interesting and different idea for a gift for your wedding attendents, your parents, or just someone you love, I say go ahead and put it on glass!

***here is A painted house’s April special…*** I OFFER 10% DISCOUNT ON MULTIPLE HANGER ORDERS! BRIDE’S HANGER IS FREE FOR THE MONTH OF APRIL WITH MULTIPLE HANGER PURCHASES!**** ©

Here’s hoping you have a wholesale flower filled day!

Hi everyone.

I am constantly amazed by how incredibly creative some people are, and how that creativity helps others to have something that they will cherish for a lifetime. 

Who would ever think that seating charts could be anything except functional? Certainly not me. But, Theresa of BelleJardine.com definitely saw the need.

When you wander through the site, you are transported to your own personal garden. What do you want your guests to remember about your wedding? The details of course! What did you do that was inspiring?

www.bellejardine.comwill help you to find your passion, and have a wonderful keepsake that you can frame, and look at for a lifetime. Why have little placecards that people just pick up and then throw in the garbage? A beautiful, personalized seating scroll will be a remembrance forever.

Here’s hoping you have a wholesale flower filled day!

Are you looking for a new and different way to get everyone together, get to know each other a little better and have a really good time? I met the coolest guy, who runs the coolest business…

Murder for Hire is a great and interactive way to have your family and friends get together and “do” a murder mystery dinner, (this is not dinner theater!)

You and your guests are the stars, the script is written, the plot thickens as you add your friends as the suspects. Each guest gets a part to play, someone is the murderer and someone is the “corpse”.

Check out the site…www.murderforhireinc.com, as for Tom, tell him Dorelle sent you!

Have a flower filled day!

When I feel an affinity for someone, something or just an idea,  I feel compelled to share it with you! I used this service and LOVED it, I passed it on to friends and they too loved it…So, now it’s your turn to love it!

I know I don’t have to remind you it’s the holiday season. People are running, shopping, cooking, baking, and partying. When you have people over to your home, or, you need a quick gift to bring, you should think flowers. Flowers always make people happy! Here’s an idea I think you will find fun, easy, and different.

Find an inexpensive glass bowl, (try dollar tree) or the back of your cabinets. Get some metallic shred, red, gold, silver, any color will do. Fill the glass bowl generously with the shred, add water, maybe a flashing light (if you have it), then add white flowers. In your standard “rose bowl” you can fill the bowl with 9 roses or 5 large carnations or 1 nice sized hydrangea. Lightly spray with a mist of water, and for pizazz sprinkle lightly with angel dust glitter.  Wrap a ribbon around the neck of the bowl, if you have jingle bells, hang them from the ribbon, and you are done!

With bridesnblooms, 1 box of roses, 13 rose bowls, 1 roll of ribbon, 3 bags of shred, and you have 13 gifts. Total cost $133.00 cost per gift $10.23…..Wow!!!

Have a wonderful and flower filled day!
