Wedding Favor Creator

By Heather Diodati

Wedding favors have always been a nice, personal gesture to include in your wedding preparations. Unfortunately, there are
too many "cookie-cutter" type favors out there, which portray the
couple’s lack of interest in providing something unique.

Here is a Wedding Favor Creator for you to use for your upcoming
wedding or one that you’re planning for your best friend. You can
mix and match to your heart’s content and according to the budget
you have.

Small containers to use for candies, chocolates, small floating
candles, decorative soaps, etc. (many of them can be purchased at your local dollar store)

- tiny wicker baskets or straw hats - egg cups
- candle holders
- flat shells (scallops) - small filigree metal boxes - decorated wooden boxes - coffee mugs
- wine glasses
- small decorative dish - tiny flower pots
- little tin watering cans - small jars
- ceramic spoon rest

Fillings to add to your favor containers

- heart-shaped candies or chocolates - Hershey’s kisses and hugs - small floating candles - gourmet or flavored coffee - enough for one pot - little decorative soaps - wild flower seed packets or small quantity of seeds with planting instructions, wrapped in colored cellophane - flower bulbs
- bath oil beads
- bath salts
- small bag of mixed spice (cinnamon/nutmeg) and your favorite
apple pie recipe
- packets of specialty tea - hot chocolate and cinnamon mix - enough for one mug

Sample sayings and poems to write or print onto a small note card
along with your names and wedding date (punch a hole in the card and attach a ribbon to tie to your favors)

- Please plant these to celebrate our growing love (for bulbs,
seeds)
- All things grow with love (for bulbs, seeds) - Our flame of love will always be bright (for candles) - Hugs and Kisses from the new Mr. And Mrs! (for Hershey’s kisses
and/or hugs)
- Heart-felt wishes from the new Mr. And Mrs. (for anything heart-shaped)
- Love lives in happy hearts (anything heart-shaped) - The best gifts are tied with heartstrings (anything heart- shaped)
- May there always be spice in your life! (for apple pie recipe
and spice; for hot chocolate/cinnamon mix) - We’re suited to a 'T' (for specialty teas) - Nothing can wash away the love we feel! (bath oil, bath salts,
soaps)

The 5 Most Hated Wedding Favors

By Anonymous

June 30, 2004 -- Salt and pepper shakers, wine charms, personalized golf tees, votive candles. If you’re a bride, you’re faced with a staggering array of options for wedding favors. Most brides look for something that matches their design theme, or expresses the special personality of the couple. But what about the guests?

Hipoli, a company offering handmade wedding favors, has run an informal survey asking people for the most HATED wedding favor they have received. “Brides put so much effort and thought into choosing these.” says Hipoli’s owner, Michelle Bahr, “It’s a shame to see guests wrinkling their noses at the reception.”

Top 5 Most Hated Wedding Favors

1.Knickknacks
2.Figurines
3.Scrolls with poems
4.Jordan almonds
5.Butter/pillow mints

The group surveyed overwhelmingly voted against anything they felt was not “useful”. Knickknacks universally got the thumbs down, even ones of crystal or silver were disparaged as “more useless stuff”. Making a knickknack by hand did not particularly get them extra credit – said one woman, “I felt bad throwing it away knowing someone had spent some serious time [making all of those … but really.”

The most controversial items were Jordan Almonds and Butter Mints – both had their violent detractors, but then many people specifically said how they love them!

What did these respondents like to receive for favors at a wedding? It ranged from chocolates or candies to candles, playing cards and CD’s. “The lesson to learn for your own wedding is to think of favors the same way as you do any other gift.” Says Bahr. “Ensure that what you are giving is beautiful and useful for the receiver, and you are guaranteed to have favors that your guests truly love.”

For more information or to contact Michelle, please go to www.Hipoli.com or call 603-496-2130

“Great Taste” to feature Marry Monograms

By Anonymous

June 9, 2004, Deerfield Beach, FL – Platinum Television Group is pleased to announce the selection of Marry Monograms for its innovative, educational television series, Great Taste. The segment will be featured as part of “Planning for the Perfect Wedding.”

From the time in early childhood when a girl first eyes the boy at the next desk, she probably starts linking their names for fun—scribbling “John & Mary,” or “Susie and Barry” all over her notebooks. Now a new company takes that concept one step further by offering Marry Monograms, a dramatic graphic way to romantically link bride and groom’s names for use throughout all of their wedding planning and events.

Marry Monograms creates personalized wedding logos for use on custom wedding invitations, bridal shower invitations, wedding favors and more. These quality graphics can be used for anything a bride can dream up to create the ultimate theme that carries through from the engagement to the big day.

Marry Monograms’ customized logos, all for under $50, create the personalized look that makes any wedding unique from start to finish. The couple’s monogram will bring excitement about the wedding’s theme and will convey a well-coordinated event.

Whether the invitations are professionally printed or prepared by the do-it yourself bride, Marry Monograms creates the artwork in a format that can be easily transferred to professional printers or can be used on a home computer. Styles include classic, casual, contemporary, romantic, simple or symbolic, which convey everything from a formal or casual event to a geographically or seasonally-themed tone. These designs can be used with all styles of invitations, wedding favors and by other companies affiliated with the wedding industry.

“Marry Monograms is a one-of-a-kind, innovative product created for the wedding industry that gives brides of all budgets and wedding types the option of creating a million-dollar look on a budget,” explained Holly Williams, one of the founders of the company. The company came about when Holly’s college roommate Deanna Weston, a graphic design major, was chosen as a bridesmaid for Holly’s upcoming wedding and offered to create a wedding “theme” for her. When they realized that others may like a similar option, they started the company online. With a small devoted following growing from bridal chat rooms and other online bridal resources, Marry Monograms now has orders pour into the website from around the globe!

Great Taste will highlight just how easy and reasonably priced it is to have Marry Monograms create a custom monogram from a variety of options. The show will feature some terrific examples of what unique ideas brides are utilizing with their personalized logos. From T-shirts to embossing stamps and more, Marry Monograms create the artwork to truly personalize a wedding. In addition, they connect brides with some of the premiere companies in the industry that can help them use their new monograms in any way they can think of!
