Just In Time for the Holidays - New Christmas Party Favors for Weddings and Get-togethers.

A Very Special Christmas Present

Recently I was speaking with a customer who was planning a very special Christmas present for her husband. She had told me that 20 years ago for a wedding gift she had a wallet made for him that had been foil-stamped with his initials and then on the inside fold she has also included a personal message. Because her husband has been carrying around this wallet for so long it is showing some obvious wear. Now after 20 years of marriage and 6 children later she would like to recreate this wallet. With the economy being what it is and 6 children to buy gifts for she didn't want to break the bank either. I was able to help her find just what she was looking for. I know that her husband will be so touched when he opens his new personalized leather wallet on Christmas morning. These are the stories that make my job so rewarding and bring a special highlight to my day.

Tis the Season! The holidays are right around the corner and with the season comes company parties, Christmas get-togethers, and holiday gatherings.  For this year's annual party, say a special thank you to guests with custom printed Christmas party favors, cups, and candy boxes.

Sick of all those left-overs?  Send guests home with personalized Christmas boxes printed with a custom message.  Have a quirky phrase, thank you message from the family, or holiday greeting printed.  Set each box out for guests so they can dish up any left-overs, cookies, and candies to take home and voila!  You've just made it fun for guests to take home extras and you don't have to worry about eating that left-over turkey for the next week and a half.

Company Gifts? Want to give out a custom company gift to employees?  Have ceramic coffee mugs or holiday wine bottle gift boxes printed with your company logo.  Fill your wine boxes with a bottle of wine and tie with a special thank you tag addressed to the individual.  For the coffee mugs, insert a pouch of hot cocoa and marshmallows into each mug and set at each guest place setting.

Giving your guests personalized Christmas party favors will make them feel like you really put the extra effort into this year's holiday party.  Your guests will love your creativity and will have a one-of-a-kind favor to remember you party with.  Happy Planning!

Christmas is a festive time of year and with so many varieties of affordable Christmas wedding favors to choose from you can have the perfect winter wedding without going over budget.

One great way to convey that festive spirit and save money is with affordable favors like Christmas cellophane favor bags. Fill each bag with edible treats such as candy coated almonds, chocolate mints, red and green candies and cookies. Tie the bags off with keepsakes like a holiday themed key chain, bookmark, or personalized ornament. These special keepsakes will last through each holiday long after the treats are gone. Family and friends won't forget to take home their goodie bags filled with edible treats and these winter themed wedding favors will set the tone for a jolly Christmas wedding reception.

How to Choose the Right Lettering Font Style For Your Personalized Wedding Favors

One of the most frequent questions that I get asked by customers is 'What letter style do you recommend?' Choosing the right font style for your personalized wedding favors is simple. It all boils down to your personalized taste. Here are a few tips to make the right decision:

• Think about your style. When deciding between whether to go with classic script fonts or more contemporary block styles, think about the theme you are trying to portray. Is your wedding more modern or is it full of traditional accents? The pros to a script font are that they are very elegant. The downside is that fancy calligraphy can be harder to read. Block styles are much more legible and will give a more modern feel to an event but will not be as elegant as a script font.

• View the lettering style. Be sure when viewing your font style choices to review each letter in its entirety. Take the time to review each letter that you will use for your names, date, message, even the ampersand sign. Make sure it’s what you want and that it meets your personal taste. Classic calligraphy fonts at times can have loops and variations to letters that are not considered the norm. Too many times do brides come to me expressing disappointment that they did not look at the ampersand sign that they chose because they loved the letter B too much.

• Be Creative. This is your special day. Don’t be afraid to be creative. Pick a letter style that best suits your personality. Enjoy all the little details that come with planning your wedding day. It only happens once in a lifetime.
