New Icon Personalized Sports Theme Beer Mugs

Personalized beer mugs are a popular groomsman gift. Traditionally, the groom gives every member of his wedding party, including the best man, groomsmen, father, and ring bearer, a small gift in appreciation for participating in his wedding. Beer mugs are a sure winner for many guys, either as collectibles or as functional vessels to hold their favorite beer.

My Wedding Reception Ideas.com has just added a new line of personalized beer mugs called the Icon sports line. These hefty glass mugs stand 6 3/4 inches tall and are 3 3/4 inches wide to hold 25 ounces of beer or other favorite drink to quench a man-sized thirst. These mugs feature laser-etched designs of players wielding their instruments of the games including football, baseball, hockey, skiing, golf, hunting, pool, and poker. Also available are the 'Varsity' series that sport varsity-style monograms.

Every design theme is personalized with two lines of custom print so names, nicknames, dates, or short, witty phrases can be tailored to admonish the individual each, unique mug is intended for.

Grooms are always looking for a variety of unique gifts for their groomsmen. The 'Icon' sports series beer mug collection offers a greater variety of choices along with our other popular personalized beer mugs.

Must Have Winter Wedding Favors

Winter is just a few months away and many people are planning Winter Weddings. Today, more and more couples are bypassing the busy spring and summer months in exchange for a whimsical winter wedding. You can create your very own Winter-Wedding Wonderland with winter themed wedding favors.

Wedding Favors serve a variety of purposes - you can thank your guests for attending the wedding, the favors can serve as a special reminder of your wedding day, or they can showcase your interests and/or wedding theme.

Consider a less-is-more approach to your color palette: Silver and white are classic colors and would add some serious glamour to your winter wedding. Use some adorable favors such as the snowflake place card holders or Silver Snowflake Votive Candle Holder.

From snowflake bookmarks to winter-themed place card frames, there is a long list of favors to choose from for your winter wedding! You can find favors to match a glittery snowflake design or go with a more traditional favor.

Another great favor option is a winter-themed bottle stopper. Many guests will be entertaining during the holiday season, and their parties will almost certainly include a bottle or two of wine. Send guests home with a unique bottle stopper from your wedding, and not only can you help keep their leftover wine fresh, you can also create a conversation piece at their next gathering.

How To Plan A Las Vegas Themed Wedding Reception

So you took the gamble and got married in Vegas and now you want to have your reception at home with your friends and family. A Las Vegas themed reception holds many fun planning options and will make your guests feel like they went gone to Vegas with you!

When your guests enter the "casino," you could pass out many different Las Vegas themed wedding favors. Give out favor bags with play money, personalized playing cards, poker chips and Las Vegas key chains.

For a unique twist, use an Elvis impersonator for your musical entertainment which will be something that will keep the guests talking for weeks. Even a DJ dressed up like Elvis is a good idea. Just check out all of your options and let your creativity loose. This is Las Vegas we are talking about. The sky is the limit when you are planning a Vegas reception.

Cupcakes are the New Wedding Cake

Cupcake wedding cakes are such a hot and trendy item for weddings. If you do a search on the internet you will not believe the options and ideas that are out there. A cupcake wedding cake is usually a cheaper option verses the traditional cake, and since there are so many little cakes, you can actually have a lot of different flavors!

Another great idea for the cupcake wedding cakes is using them as a center piece for your guest tables. This will eliminate the need for centerpieces but also cupcake wedding cakes allow each one of your guests to have their own personal little wedding cake. Adding personalized cupcake boxes to the tables would allow your guest to be able to take a cupcake home with them. There are many contemporary and elegant designs for cupcakes and many different ways that you can decorate your cupcakes to make them more elegant, whimsical or with a theme depending on the kind of wedding you’ll be having. For example, you could work with your florist and have a small bloom on each of your cupcakes. Or, you could purchase Filigree cupcake liners to add a touch of elegance.
