My wife and I are a bit eccentric. When we decided to get married, we wanted to plan a wedding unlike any other, so we decided on a destination wedding in Alaska. The ceremony was planned to perfection, but we wished to make sure the reception was distinct as well. She and I determined to find fun, odd pieces to include in the reception. The cake was red velvet with white icing, but we wished to make it really pop. Our concept was personalized bride and groom cake toppers. My fiancée and I went to the studio to have our pictures taken and had our photos designed into a pair of bobble head cake toppers! I was happy to buy them. After we had our pictures taken, my fiancée wished to look at a few of the other adjustable wedding favors. She found a personalized stemless wine glass that she thought would be perfect for her bridesmaids. She determined to get them on the spot so they could be customized well in advance of the wedding. I mentioned some toasting glasses for weddings, and she fell for them instantly. The selection included several glasses with different colors and designs, and we simply couldn't resist. We also found some cool wedding place card holders, which we thought was a far much better option than merely putting a card on the plate. After we decided on the placeholders I coaxed her out to avoid spending much more money! With every passing day our wedding drew nearer, but there was still so much planning to do. My fiancée wished to give our moms and dads some sort of a gift to thank them for their love and support, however we just weren't sure precisely what to give them. She went online to see the status of our personalized wedding cake topper and some small wedding favor boxes we had bought. I recommended that we offer them each a box filled with pictures and keepsakes from our wedding. There was still something missing, though. Since our wedding was relatively small, we wanted to send everybody home with something really unique. We didn't want it to be too standard, but we also knew everyone values a beneficial gift. At first we thought about giving everyone personalized wedding glassware, but then we decided not to since it would have to survive the plane trip home. We eventually opted to give everybody gloves because it would be cold in Alaska. The wedding wound up being a huge hit! Our photographer was even able to use a Polaroid camera for a couple of pictures so we could give our parents the keepsake boxes as soon as possible. The band we hired was incredible (and knew a lot more punk music than we anticipated!). Our cake toppers were the centerpiece of our wedding. Everybody complimented the cake toppers and asked us where we got them. Everyone cracked up as my wife and I distributed gloves as a wedding favor. We'll definitely remember our wedding for the rest of our lives. Heck, we have a lot of odd mementos around the house to remind us! wedding favors personalized
