Wedding Receptions – New Trends – The Smilebooth

Smilebooth makes the party!

Smilebooth is soooo not the old school photo booth. This modern upgrade to the classic memory-maker is all about the entertainment!!  Smilebooth lets your guests be in (out of ?) control and take unlimited studio quality images. Be warned, it might take over your event with outrageous laughter coming from the corner but that’s not a bad thing, right?  Your digital photos can be printed or downloaded to your phone/facebook.

Have a blast while capturing the vibe of your event.  According to wedding parties who have used it, it’s addicting, amazing and amusing. And from the pictures here, you can see that they have the proof.

Out of Town Welcome Baskets

In our search for “all things wedding related” we came across Wedding Planner, Kate Parker, with a line of Out of Town Welcome Baskets.

Imagine your guests arriving at their hotel after a long day of travel to discover a custom out-of-town basket in their room. Each basket is filled with locally-made products and information pertaining to your wedding weekend, including a personalized map highlighting your event locations from the rehearsal dinner to the reception site.

This site has a 25 basket minimum, which may be a bit steep from some. But it’s a great idea with lots of possibilities for pulling something off yourself.

Sweet Gifts for Your Maids

We’ve not used theses cookies personally, but we just could not pass this by when we recently found it in our “ongoing search” for great ideas for our brides.

Here’s a sweet way to ask your friends to be your bridesmaids (or save the date). The Flour Pot, a bakery in Philadelphia, bakes delicious sugar cookies in the shape of (bridesmaid) dresses and can attach a card with a note inviting your girls to be your maids.

You can customize the color of the cookie’s icing to reflect your wedding colors or the color of the dress you are planning on having them wear. Each cookie is wrapped in The Flour Pot’s signature polka dot gift box and tied with a bow.

While the company is based in Philly, they ship nationwide. And in addition to their “Will you be my bridesmaid?” cookie, they also create cookies as save-the-date “cards” and favors for engagement parties, showers and weddings. Visit flourpotcookies.com to view their complete portfolio.

One Of A Kind Label

A Wedding is an amazing time for a couple and their loved ones. When planning such a special day, it’s important to incorporate as much of your personality as possible into every aspect of your wedding. Personalized bottles of wine and champagne are the ideal solution for couples hoping to create a unique and unforgettable wedding.
