Using a Birdcage Card Holder - Wedding Reception Designed

Scrolling Heart Birdcage Card HolderWith the spring season approaching, and the huge number of outdoor weddings being planned over the next few months, there are a lot of extremely adorable decorations available to the bride.  Weddings today are becoming cuter than ever before as new trends come into popularity.  There are things that people used to be worried about that aren’t a worry anymore - and other beautiful things that have come about because there used to be a worry.
 
At your wedding, you will find that a fairly large number of your guests don’t actually visit your registry, but rather bring you a card with some cash or a gift card stuffed inside.  For a lot of brides, this is actually preferred - that way you and your new husband can choose the exact items that you want in your home, and don’t have to risk people thinking that they know you well enough to pick something out that you will love.  The worry in the past has been that there is no place for cards to sit on the table.  The gift table might look cluttered if the cards are allowed to sit loosely across the table.  Some brides place a basic basket on the table intended for cards, but this doesn’t always match your theme.  If you are a spring bride, there is a good chance that your wedding will be decorated with gorgeous blooming flowers and other parts of nature.  With a birdcage card holder, wedding receptions have an added bit of vintage glamor - and a perfect place for cards to be placed throughout the celebration.
  
Reception Gift Card HolderAn additional benefit of using a birdcage card holder is that it locks.  You generally don’t have to worry about people stealing things off of your gift table - but this might be a concern for some brides.  When people see a lone card on the table, they can guess that there is either cash or a gift card inside, and that might be tempting to them.  Or if there is no worry for sticky fingers at your wedding, you may worry about small curious children swiping them off the gift table to play.  With a birdcage card holder, wedding reception cards and cash are locked safely away from any curious hands.  While you certainly don’t have to use the lock that generally comes with these bird cage card holders, it might make you feel better knowing that those things are locked up and that you hold the key.  
 
Take advantage of the gorgeous and functional decorations that are available to brides these days! This is a great time to get married because there is so much available to you - right at your fingertips.  Make your wedding as perfect as you have always wanted it to be! Visit Wedding Staples today to purchase a gift card holder for your special day.

Wedding Trend: Do-It-Yourself Invitations

DIY Purple & Ivory Flourish Invitations KitThe average couple spends over $650 on wedding invitations alone, which is quite an expense for crafty paper. Who wouldn’t rather spend some of that money on other things, like decorations, photography, or the honeymoon? With do-it-yourself invitations you can not only save money, but also create one-of-a-kind invitations that your guests will ogle over.

Do-it-yourself wedding invitations are significantly less costly than custom printed invitations, which can cost around $9 per invitation! DIY invitations cost around $1 each, a significant difference. Just imagine what you could use the extra money for…

In addition to being less expensive, DIY wedding invitations let you personalize the piece for a look that’s uniquely yours. Your custom invitations can include photos and wording that you choose, and you can print them with any font you want. For the scrapbooking bride, this can be a great opportunity to put your skills to use.

So you’re not crafty, you say? Do-it-yourself wedding invitation kits are easy to find, as well as easy-to use. Most come with or provide links to software that you can use to design your personalized invitations to your special day. These programs make creating beautiful designs simple, even for the artistically-challenged. These kits come complete with all the paper and envelopes you’ll need to print your very own wedding invitations and response cards.

DIY Aqua Flourish Invitations KitYour invitations are a first-impression of sorts, and everyone knows the importance of first impressions. Your wedding invitations should accurately portray who you and your soon-to-be spouse are as individuals and as a couple. By creating your own invitations, you can use your own styles and preferences to send a message to your family and friends. DIY wedding invitations allow you to branch out from the strict regulations of many professional printers and express yourselves the way you want to be perceived. It’s your special day, and your invitations should be about you, not about what the stationery store says you have to print on them.
