Don’t Forget to Say Thank You

 

 

Happy Monday and Happy February! We are certainly zipping right through 2010 at a fabulous pace. Today we examine the all important “Thank You” of wedding etiquette.

 
Don’t email. Even though we live in an age of instant communication via social networking, cell phones, and emails, there is nothing more personal than the handwritten thank-you note. Don’t send thank-you notes via email.

 
Don’t procrastinate. Ideally you will send thank-you notes as soon as gifts arrive. It will seem like a much easier task if you are not trying to send a hundred at one time. However, the accepted standard is to send thank-you notes within three months of receiving each gift.

 
Do thank everyone. This includes people who literally put a gift in your hand no matter how much you thanked them in person. Yes, you should send thank-yous to the gift givers at your shower. (Even though you probably thanked them as you ripped open the gift)

 
Do make it personal. How many times have you read, Dear customer or Dear friend?   That’s highly impersonal.  Try to divide the thank-yous among your fiancée so that you are writing to the people you actually know.   This way you can add something unique to each person.  Even though the note will be coming from both of you it will seem more thoughtful.

Signature cocktails are always a huge hit at weddings and most guests enjoy seeing what fun drink the bride and groom have come up with. Surprise your guests with his and her signature cocktails at your wedding. Weddings are full of his and her items, from cakes and toasting glasses to songs. Adding his and her signature cocktails is just another way to personalize your wedding. It can be as simple as just picking your favorite drink and then coming up with a creative name for it. If neither of you have a clue what you want your drink to be or what to name it check out http://www.drinksmixer.com/cat/1/ to get inspired. Make sure when picking your cocktails, choose one that is a little stronger and one that is on the lighter side to appeal to more of your guests’ taste buds.

Backyard Inspiration

I decided today to find these backyard inspiration boards for two reasons. One, I am longing for winter to be over and spring to arrive. There is something about spring that just makes everything seem so fresh and beautiful. My second reason is that in 2010 we are going to see a big trend in home weddings.  After looking at these, I hope you are inspired as I was.

The Wedding Cake

The wedding cake plays a very important role in the reception, but its meaning in today’ wedding  is somewhat different than in the past. For instance, the Romans used to break the cake over a bride’s head to symbolize fertility. During the medieval ages, guests brought scones and biscuits and piled them on top of each other. The bride and groom would then kiss over it in order to bring their marriage good luck. In the Seventeenth Century, the French began to stack wheat buns and coat them in icing, which is the origin of the wedding cake as we now know it. Not that long ago it was an acceptable standard to have a white tiered wedding cake; however now cakes are an expression of each individual couple. What does the wedding cake symbolize to you in 2010?
