Winter and Holiday Favors

Monday, December 20th, 2010

As the temperature continues to dip lower and lower, I find myself dreaming of not just a white Christmas, but enjoying the thought of spending time with loved ones this season. It also had me thinking about holiday parties.

Did you know that favors aren’t limited to weddings or birthday parties for kids under seven? Even if you’re throwing a small soiree with close friends or a large holiday get-together with extended family, sending your guests home with a parting gift is more than a nice gesture, it’s an act of friendship and love.

What could me more perfect than going to a winter party and going home with delicious warm drink to share with your loved one (or enjoying both servings for yourself)?

Couple's Cocoa

Chocolate lovers will love the Couples Cocoa that comes complete with marshmallows, sprinkles, and delicious hot chocolate, and they would swoon over the personalized hot chocolate packet just for them.

If classic hot chocolate isn’t your style, pick out and personalize a convenient package of premium cappuccino. It comes with a mini whisk that your guests can—and will—use time and time again.

These favors are not only tasty, but they’ll make your party a hit even after the shindig is over!

Winter Wedding Ideas

Monday, October 4th, 2010

As I was pulling out my scarves in anticipation of a brisk and chilly fall day, I started thinking about winter weddings. There’s something magical and peaceful about seeing the first snowfall and watching icicles form around your house. Not to mention, seeing a winter wedding immediately warms my heart.

But when I let my mind wander around the idea of a perfect winter wedding I actually thought about Matthew McConaughey. If you’ve seen “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” you may know what I’m talking about. McConaughey’s character, Ben, is working on an advertising proposal for diamonds and he comes up with the slogan of “Frost Yourself” to advertise diamonds for women. Frosting yourself is all about donning diamonds, being glamorous, and bringing out the bling. And a wedding is the perfect place for a bride to sparkle from head to toe.

Keep the glitz and excitement alive throughout your winter wedding celebration by dazzling guests with enchanting decor. There’s nothing like keeping cozy inside when it’s chilly outside, so here are a few tips for a charming winter reception: turn the lights down low and light up the room with romantic twinkle lights, place strategic up-lighting around the room, and burn some candles for an extra touch of romance.

As snow blankets the city, bring the elegance indoors for your reception. Choose a white color scheme and accent it with hints of ice blue and silver. Keep things classic by decorating your tables with white linens and simple china. For an added bonus, let guests know who is sitting where with a snowflake ornament doubling as a place card holder, and they’ll think of your winter wedding every year.
