Unique Favor for Sea Themed Wedding
June 8, 2007
The Wedding Outlet is your one stop shop for all of those wedding day must-haves. What is a wedding day must-have? It is something like this bell-shaped piece of plastic that has been filled with sand and shells and hot-glued with an organza ribbon. Everyone needs an unringable bell (just $6.90 each, minimum order of 5).
I found this gem on Wedding Rumors, which appears to be a blog about wedding accessories but is really just a clog (a.k.a, corporate blog) for the Wedding Outlet. After all, what blogger could, with any seriousness, write about the necessity of non-working plastic bells filled with sand and sea shells? When it comes to expensive, non-edible favors, I find that I can only write with derision. Well, derision, wit, and complete incredulousness.

Embossed Sea Shell Wedding Favors
June 4, 2007
Truly romantic weddings deserve truly romantic decorations and favors. What better way to show your love than with the dried exoskeleton of a bivalve?
Well, I’ll tell you what’s better: the same lovely shells printed with your names! Embossed shells are more indicative of marital fidelity because they display a love important enough to be laser engraved on the carapace of a long-dead animal. That’s real devotion. Every wedding guest will feel honored to leave with an item embossed with the names of the couple, even if they’ll eventually leave them in the hotel bathroom after playing a rousing fantasy session of Gilligan’s Island.
These favors from Beau Coup read “Our love shell last forever” and come in at just $3.00 each (minimum order of 12). I can’t imagine a better way for newlyweds everywhere to display their eternal love and affection.

Embossed Fresh Rose Petals
May 25, 2007
If you didn’t know of the existence of embossed Fresh Rose Petals prior to coming to StupidWeddingCrap.com, that’s okay. I didn’t know about them either until I started browsing the virtual aisles of Beau-Coup’s ‘Personalization’ section. It is the same place where I found the personalized wine box of awesomeness, which doubles as a casket for small animals.
You can get these personalized rose petals (fresh or silk) for just $125.00 for 200 black and white printed personalized petals. That’s right, just 62.5 cents per rose petal.* There’s a part of me that thinks about how ridiculously expensive it is to buy printer ink and says “Yeah, I could see how it would cost that much to airbrush some petals.” And then there’s a part of me that is sad to learn that women out there are dreaming of walking down an aisle of roses printed with their own faces.
These rose petals may seem romantic, but have you considered the customs of the Ancient Egyptians? King Tut wore sandals printed with symbols of the enemies of Egypt so that he could tread on them as he walked. Is that what you want to say at your wedding?
* Prices do not include a one-time set-up fee: $9.95 for custom phrase and $19.95 for custom photo. Prices also do not include Fed-Ex shipping fee for fresh petals:
