Wedding favors are an important part of the wedding experience. They are a way to express appreciation to all of your guests for taking the time to support you on your special day. A carefully chosen favor is also a great way to tie into your wedding theme. Because you are purchasing a gift for each of the guests at your wedding, price is also a consideration. If you are having a large wedding with many guests, this can add up quickly.
If you decide to invite children to your wedding you may want to choose a favor that will appeal to them in particular. Fortunately, there are so many choices available when choosing wedding favors that you can easily find something that appeals both to children and adults alike. What are some ideas for favors that are fun for children, yet special for adults?
Photo Memories
All children love to have their picture taken, and most relish the idea of having a special responsibility. Consider leaving plenty of disposable cameras lying around to capture candid shots. While this is not a new idea for weddings, to really include the children that you have as guests, make sure they, and their parents, know that they are welcome, and even encouraged, to use the cameras. Something about weddings brings out the stuffy adult in many people, so hand out cameras specifically to children, announce that you want a kids-eye view of the event, or come up with some other way to encourage the children at your wedding and reception to take pictures.
By providing cameras for the reception, you open the door for a touching favor many people love, which is a miniature photograph album. The miniature album, which will typically hold around 40 four by six pictures, is the perfect favor for children. They can put their own pictures in it, and you can send along copies of any cute candids that you get. Miniature photograph albums making a special wedding favor for both children and their parents.
Edible Favors
Kids love treats, and tiny treats are even better. Personalized mints or chocolate candies such as Hersheyâ??s Kisses, loose or in a special tin, make a fun treat for parents and their children. In fact, many kids will get just as much enjoyment out of a small mint tin or basket as they will the candy that was inside. Most wrappers can be personalized with the bride and groomâ??s names, the date of the wedding and even the weddingâ??s color theme. Edible favors can also be certain mixes of cocoa or tea to be enjoyed after the event.
Bookmarks
If you are hosting a large reception, or your budget is tight, bookmarks are affordable and fun favors. Children, in particular, enjoy the idea of their own bookmark. Parents can utilize this favor as well. Using bookmarks engraved with scripture, line of poetry or even a simple, â??Thank you for sharing the day with us,â? will make children and their parents feel appreciated for attending this special occasion.
Tote Bags
Children universally seem to love to sort and pack. Loading up their treasures in a box or bag is one way that many children spend their time. Tote bags are a wonderful favor, especially if you are expecting many out of town families or are hosting a destination wedding. The tote itself makes an excellent favor, but adding information about the area, a coloring book and crayons and a bottle of bubbles can make this wedding favor a favorite for families with children.
Soaps and Bath Favors
Children love anything tiny, and the tiny soaps or bottles of shower gels that are available as wedding favors are a real treat for young children and parents alike. Many of the small containers or bars come in appealing packaging, such as small wooden boxes or tiny plastic bathtubs. An overall wedding theme can be extended into soap and bath favors, such as with a fall themed wedding. Bath favors are available in fall themes in the form of leaf-shaped soaps. These cute and practical favors are guaranteed to be popular with the guests at your party.
No matter what type of favors you choose, picking something that appeals to the children at your reception is sure to make you popular with both adults and youngsters. Many couples, even those who invite children to their wedding, present a no nonsense attitude about the wedding and reception. While it is understandable that you want your wedding and reception to be an enjoyable event, the majority of these celebrations are not geared toward children. Choosing favors which appeal to children is a wonderfully thoughtful way of letting both parent and child know that they are appreciated for attending.

My FH and I are looking to start up a wedding venue, De Mariée Gardens (French for bridal). We have about 2 acres of private gardens that include a rose arbor, a gazebo, and a balcony that overlooks a river with a bridge spanning the river. It’s very old-fashioned, with lanterns, benches, arches, and even a swing or two scattered throughout.
We’re trying to make the venue as appealing to brides as possible by building dressing rooms, making our walkways more accessible to larger parties, purchasing an enclosed tent in case of inclement weather, providing up to 200 chairs, extra tables, some decorations, and more.
What we need now is feedback. All you past, present, and future brides out there, I know this is bare information, but what do you think? Any suggestions or thoughts would be very appreciated, along with how much you would consider paying for something like this. We don’t know what the going rate is, and we want to be affordable because we had a devil of a time affording our own wedding.
We are considering charging $1,000 for ceremonies on Fridays and Saturdays, $750 for all other days. This would include chairs, tables, and decorations. We’re a bit tentative on receptions right now, not sure if we’ll get the funding for the building, but we will offer discounts when they book the reception with a local vendor. Is this fair?
To start off we’re probably only going to offer a ceremony site. But there are 5 receptions venues within 5 minutes. Would you still consider this venue? Or should we just wait to open ’til we can offer both?
I just got married 9/24/09 at Caesar’s Palace Las Vegas and one thing I was really disappointed with was the quality of their waiting area. I was put in what looked to be a storage room (or maybe an old salon?) with a ton of boxes and a few scattered couches and a mirror, the floor was dusty and dirty (great for my bright white dress). Not to be petty but I put out alot of cash to get married in the gardens there and I am sitting next to a crate of hair dye? I only had to wait for about 20 minutes but really, can I get a glass of water and a place to put my makeup bag down so I can do touch-ups before I walk out.
It get’s kind of complicated. It’s kind of like a soap opera. But there are ten people of importance. The first two are Violet Watson and Leonidas Astor. Violet is the daughter of a very rich family, and Leonidas is their stable boy. With the help of third important person Ronald Matchstick, they have eloped(this happened before the start of the book) but they come back before anyone finds them missing. Violet spends every night in the stable with him, but she also has to act the part of the perfect middle child. Her older sister is engaged, but not to who the parents want her to be engaged to, so Violet gets engaged to Martin Fay so they have money. But the day before the wedding, the Watson mansion burns down, because Ivy, the maid, trips with a candle running away from Jared Westwood, Rose, Violet’s sister’s, fiancé. The next day, no one can find Leonidas or Violet because they’ve ran away. In the meantime, Cedric Kendall is using Grace Chadwick, Violet’s best friend, to get information about Violet because he loves her. Scarlett Watson, Violet’s younger sister, is also having an affair with Martin Fay. She had been before she knew that he was going to propose to Violet. He does because it would be good publicity. And the other people are just in there to give information and to add an extra flavor to the story. Oh, yeah. And in the end, Violet and Leonidas are found in Florida. The story takes place in Boston in the 1800’s. Well how does it sound? Thanks!
Not the type of book I’m usually into, but I think you’ve got a good thing going. Keep tweaking it. (:
I have very little time to book a ballroom or a place to have my wedding. It’s going to be a Traditional Mexican Wedding. The place must allow outside catering and liquor. There will also be a live band.
Please email me any information.
Leu Gardens is a beautiful place for a wedding. Or you can look at the Museum of Art or Morse Museum in Winter Park.
You might also look at Tanner Hall in Winter Garden. It over looks Lake Apopka and is very nice. My personal favorite is Casa Felize in Winter Park.

My Friend is getting married on Mar. 21st, 2010. Her theme is Renaissance and she is having her guests dress up as well. Her colors are navy blue, purple and black. You could use greens, gold, ambers, burgundy and navy as a color choice. Changing colors of leaves as garlands, favors can be a leaf cone hung from small trees on a table for your guests to take. Wedding cake could have a leaf motif garland swirled onto the cake.

Good Luck…
I heard a few rumors. Like Harry and Hermione will share a dance at the wedding that wasn’t in the book, and that Dan will appear naked a few times… any other rumors? Are these true? Anything else you would like to add? How about some pumpkin pie ;-]
I’m fairly certain the Dan being naked thing is true. I’ve heard it a bunch of times and it seems to come from reputable sources.
~possible spoilers~
But I believe it’s in the scene where Ron opens the locket and sees Harry and Hermione in an embrace.
I’m having a destination wedding in July 2010. I’m going to send invitations out next month so that my family has enough time to plan, save money, get off of work, etc. I have a wedding planner at the destination that is taking care of everything, including the booking of suites and flights. I need to refer everyone to her. Where do I put her name and contact information on my wedding invitations I’m sending to family? Should I put it on the back? On a separate small note card?
(My invitations are going to be a one card invitations. No half-fold or tri-fold or anything.)
Thanks.
I would add an extra half sized card in the same design as your invitations. it will cost a little extra, but I think it will look alot classier than putting those details on the back or at the bottom.
I am seeking some advice on my colors in the wedding. My wedding will be October
2010 and my colors are Chocolate, Dark red(kinda like the fruit, strawberry) and Ivory. I have already purchased
the book w/pen, pillow, flower basket in ivory. I am thinking about getting a
dark red wedding gown and chocolate/ivory bridesmaid dresses. Also I was
thinking about putting Dark red and Chocolate petals lightly spread over the
ivory table clothes around the candles, the same petals the flower girl will be
tossing. The has white/ivory flower arrangements for the ceremony already provided
by the arch and also same flowers in the arch.
Do you think those colors will look good together?
Would you use just ivory flowers for the bride and bridesmaid with those colors?
Should the groom and groomsmen be in black or ivory?
Any other ideas that I can consider?
Do you know of any where I can find a red brides gown?(if you have any websites
are pictures please send and also for chocolate bridesmaid dresses)
Any information will be a HUGE help!!
Here are pictures of the hall, the bridal gown(might see if I can get it alittle darker like a strawberry fruit) that I picked so far and
bridesmaid dresses. (If you know of any other dresses that I might like please
send.. Im kinda plain, but I love different) Thanks for your help and time!!

cloths* & The hall has white/ivory flower arrangements* (sorry for the typos up top LOL….
I also want to add.. Please understand I am not overreacting or rushing anything with the wedding. I am just looking for answer to coordinate my colors and get advice before I do start puchasing things for the wedding. The only reason I have bought the few things I meantioned above is a long story due to money invested in a bridal shop towards a wedding I was not standing in anymore and could not get my money back just an in-store trade.. Also on that note, I do know it is never too early to start planning or buying things for your wedding esp. when you and your fiance is paying for the entire wedding..Its so much easier to buy as you go then all at once b/c nothing is cheap these days!! 
Wow sister, breathe! You’re overreacting just a tiny bit. It’s 12 months away, yes, but give yourself a weekend off or something. Don’t think about it.
The colors look wonderful together! When in doubt, though, always go for black and white. You can add the bright colors in sparingly. Looks like you have everything figured out, though. I mean, your bridesmaid dresses match the hall? Yeah, don’t overstress. You’re on top of things.
My fiance and I just booked a Vally of Fire destination wedding with Chaples of Las Vegas. Has anyone gotten married here? If so what did you think? How was the heat? we are getting married in July. Any other information would be helpful or just let me know about your experience. Thanks!
I haven’t been to any weddings at the Valley of Fire, but I can tell you that if you’re getting married there in July, it’s going to be HOT. Probably in the 100s or 110s. Will there be a tent thing for people to sit or stand underneath? If not, be sure everyone’s wearing sunscreen. You might want to provide everyone with cold bottled water so that no one gets heatstroke. Hopefully your reception will be indoors!
Congratulations on your upcoming marriage!
Hey Everyone,
I’m really getting into photography and was thinking about maybe getting a couple of books to help me along. Now, I’ve looked at my local book store and on the net and find some that seemed good, but I need some real opinion on some that are good or not!
So basically if you know any great photography books you can recommend I’d be very appreciative!!
I’m looking for a book that is mostly about how to take particular shots and useful tidbits of information. Most of the books I’ve seen seem to all be about: ‘this is flash. This is a tripod. For wedding photography use a tripod and a flash’. I saw a particular book thats something like ‘photography handbook’ that seemed just what I want but seemed to be really small for the price and had lots of different volumes.
I’m kinda rambling… So anyway, if you have any good photography books (or even websites) to recommend I’d be very appreciative!
I’m kinda looking for a general purpose photography book, maybe a book on macro photography because I love that!
Thanks so much everyone!!

This one has a lot of information about color theory and a lot of basic information. I know that you might not want to bother with learning the technical aspects of photography, but it does really improve your work.
For Digital…

I used this book for my large format photography class, but it should help you understand exposure in general…
