« Previous EntriesBud Vases for Your Bridesmaids
May 31, 2007
This bud vase reads “Friends are flowers in the garden of life.” A more honest inscription would read “I could have just bought those ugly gold shoes for you and saved you the pain of purchasing something that is both metallic faux leather and clear vinyl. But I decided that this matching bud vase and jewelry box that I got online for $37.80 plus shipping was more indicative of our friendship: fragile and tacky.”
But if you think that flowers (not included) say it best, then you can pick up the bud vase and jewelry box for $18.90 each at WeddingSolutions.com. I love their tagline “For All Your Wedding Needs.” It is a much easier phrase to swallow than “For all of the crap that the wedding industry tries to convince you you’ll need, but you really don’t.”

Cheesy Wedding Favors
May 30, 2007
Unless you are a dairyman, dairywoman, Dairy Princess, or marrying in Tillamook County, you should not be purchasing this Mini-Cheese Grater wedding favor. Even if you are that into cheese, wouldn’t it be better to have the guests arrive at a reception filled with fabulous cheese plates? Yes, yes it would.
Other people allowed to have this at a wedding: owners of the Cowgirl Creamery, Rogue Creamery, Beecher’s Handmade Cheese (why did you not exist when I was in college?) and people who can say “Since obesity is the second-leading cause of preventative health problems, we should be replacing sodas with milk, donuts with yogurt and Twinkies with cheese sticks.” with a straight face.
Oh, you can say that with a straight face? Then get yourself over to Moments of Elegance to pick up this “unique” wedding favor (yes, they actually say that). You can get a 29% discount if you order more than 96. That’s just $1.75 each!

Please pardon our dust
May 29, 2007
I’m doing some theme work around here. I’m going green (can’t deal with Tiffany blue/pink combo anymore) and it might take awhile to get things working correctly. Please bear with me.

My Business is Weddings
May 29, 2007
This is the ideal gift for wedding party members that suffer from occasional bouts of amnesia, binge drinking, or ecstasy overdoses. Can’t remember your name or your role on this big day? Just pull out your insanely shiny personalized business card holder and be reminded of your moniker and your sole purpose in life: Groomsman.
With a business card holder like this, you don’t even need business cards. The next time you’re at a networking event, you can just whip out this baby and announce your calling to the entire world. Nobody will forget you, I promise.
This personalized business card case is available for only $22.00 (including engraving!) from Beau-Coup.

Discreet Ways to Drink and Drive
May 29, 2007
When I showed this gift item to my friend Kate, she immediately summarized the concept of keychain-flask as “Not a good idea.” However, when sharing this item with Nicole, she simply wondered “What do you do with 1 ounce of liquor? That’s not enough!” And that really is the question of the day, folks. What do you do with 1 ounce of liquor that’s attached to your car keys?
This mini-flask key chain from Beau Coup wedding stuff (land of truly marvelous and disturbing items) is just the thing that dreams, and DWI’s are made of. They suggest that “these mini pocket flask key rings are perfect for the most discreet ladies and gentlemen.” But how often are you hanging out somewhere thinking ‘If only I could slip an ounce of Jim Beam into this glass of Coke’? I guess these are just the thing for those last minute trips to Utah.
