Add the unexpected to your Wedding Reception with Caricature Stands

Having a kid-friendly wedding? Entertain the kids (and the young at heart) with caricature stands. Reasonably priced, professionals will come set up at your wedding reception and draw portraits for your guests. The length of time that they stay will depend on how long you book them.

It is such a unique and unexpected surprise for your guests. They will love your thoughtfulness and originality! After guests are finished with their portraits, continue the fun with features like a candy buffet. Place our personalized favor bags next to the buffet. Guests will now have a bag to hold both their sweet treats and one-of-a-kind portrait.

Custom Trick or Treat Bags

Isn't Halloween the best holiday? A great time for friends and family to get together. My sisters and our children always celebrate with good food and send the kids out for a night of trick or treating. They just love collecting candy from the neighbors all dressed up in their costumes. This year I'm planning on doing something a little extra special for all the kids by getting them some custom trick or treat bags printed with their favorite halloween design and a cute phrase. Can't wait to see the smiles on their faces when they hold their bags up that night and through toothy grins yell 'Trick or Treat'. (and i know my sisters will just love it too)

Why brown bag it when you can personalize it?

Yes, it's that time of the year. The end of summer is near and before we know it the kids will be back in school and the crunch for lunch ideas will begin. A packed lunch doesn't have to mean boring. Why brown bag it everyday when you can personalize it with personalized lunch bags. Easier on your kids, easier on you.

Personalized lunch bags are a great way to keep your kid's lunches organized for both you and them. You kid's will never have to search for their lunch in the classroom again (and you can throw away those markers)!

Have your child's name custom printed with a fun design. Are they into baseball this year? Ballet, hockey, dinosaurs? Whatever their style, with personalized lunch bags, your kids will have something to brag about and you will have graduated to the coolest mom in the class.

Such an adorable bridal shower favor...we just had to share!

So adorable we had to share! How cute would these be at your bridal shower where food seems to be just as important as the celebration itself?

The 'Recipe for Love' miniature rolling pins hold a recipe card pre-printed on both sides, waiting for all your guest's favorite recipes. Both sides are pre-printed, so you can use them as place cards for seating guests and invite everyone to share their secrets to a lasting marriage. The bride gets advice/family recipes and the guests get to take home absolutely adorable recipe card holders as mementos. Great for mixing in as one of your bridal shower games, check out this one and more unique bridal shower favors.

Hand Fans as Wedding Favors

Summer is upon us and so is the heat. Folding hand fans are the perfect favor outdoor weddings this summer.

One of our valued employees - Allison - exchanged vows with her husband on Saturday, June 27. She has been planning her outdoor wedding for over a year and everything was absolutely perfect, right down to the fan favors that received a lot of use. They sky was clear and the temperature was a warm 90 degrees. The seats were arranged before a beautifully decorated gazebo with a small lake in the background.

This was a formal wedding so naturally everyone arrived in the best outfits. As people were seated, they were handed programs and hand fans. It wasn't long before the waving motion of these fans in-use reflected the exited in the air as everyone anticipated the moment when Allison was walked between the two sets of seats and to the gazebo by her father.

After the ceremony, I heard many comments regarding the wedding fans as I mingled in the crowd and entered the reception hall. Guests were appreciative of the fans and the fact that they were offered with the programs.

So, if you're planning an outdoor wedding and looking for functional favors to show your appreciation to family and friends, you can't go wrong with hand fans. More about Allison's wedding later...
