Your special day is really near. A once in a lifetime day, a day you will want to be unforgettable and incomparable. What do I mean by incomparable? I mean that you will want to have your guests remember it for its uniqueness.

A wonderful way of getting your guests to remember your wedding is wedding favors. Wedding favors are a great way of showing appreciation to those who will share this incredible moment with you. What better way to thank them for being there for you than presenting them with a special gift for them to take home? But be careful! You are not the first bride who has thought of this, and won't be the last. Most couples get favors for their guests when tying the knot. That's why you have to make sure they won't look at your wedding favor and wonder... "Who's party did I get this from?" no way! Your party will be unique, your marriage will be unique, and you are unique so make sure your wedding favors are unique too!

Few gifts will be more unique than one that allows the person who gets it to use it and add a personal touch to it. Great examples are notebooks. Not only will your guests absolutely love receiving this very useful gift they can use for their everyday life; notebooks are great because once each person has written something on it, the notebook becomes even more unique and unforgettable. Each of your loved ones will have the chance to make their favor even more special and personalized, and you can even encourage them to start using it by writing down a special thought about your wedding.

But the uniqueness notebooks offer goes even further with the personalized "Love Notes" Notebook. These beautiful notebooks are personalized! This means you can specially choose their features to make them even more unique and special for your friends and family! And an amazing bonus: each one of your guests will not only get a notebook, but they will get a pen with it also, so they are ready to start scribbling love notes to each other, or caring messages to share the feeling that will reign at your wedding.

Since we are talking about the feeling reigning at your wedding; you know "love will be in the air" on this wonderful day on which you and your prince charming publicly declare your will to stay together "till death do you part" nothing can be more romantic than that! So why not get the atmosphere to be even more filled with romance getting candle favors for all your loved ones? Your guests will be thrilled to get a candle they can take home for ambience and decoration; so thrilled, they will surely want to light them up as soon as they reach the table. This will make your reception look like a starry sky, and create an even more intimate and warm atmosphere. Candles and candle holders make no doubt a wonderful favor.

If you are a plant and open space lover you can go for a Botanical Garden Votive Candle Holder, for example, or maybe if you are more playful, love fairytales or simply want your favors to be mainly sweet, you can choose the gingerbread bride & groom candle favors. Shaped as your boy and you, these favors will surely put a tender smile in your friends and family's faces.

Choose the Most Unique Wedding Reception Songs for an Extraordinary Wedding

Sunday, August 9th, 2009
by Daniel De Henney

When a couple is planning their wedding, they typically have a whole file of songs they totally love. There are fast songs and slow songs, romantic songs, and amusing songs. Their list of selections for wedding reception songs often encompasses many types of music and crosses multiple genres of music from classical to country and heavy metal to classic rock.

A wide selection of music is actually a very amazing thing at a wedding reception, since guests will be from many backgrounds and walks of life and will maybe vary in age from 8 to 80s and you really want to have music that all of your guests will enjoy. While they may not like every single song, a great variety ensures that everyone will be happy with at least some of the music. You've heard the saying, You cant please all of the people all of the time, but at a wedding you're better off attending to the motto, You should be able to please most of the people at least some of the time.

The ethnicity of the bride and group can also reflect the wedding reception songs that are traditionally included or expected at a particular wedding. For instance, German and Polish wedding receptions in some states almost always include The Chicken Dance, The Flying Dutchman and at least some of polkas. On the other hand, a Jewish wedding reception in New York is likely to have their own traditional wedding reception songs that absolutely must be included at the celebration and they probably don't even know how to polka. And a Hispanic or Hawaiian couple will for sure have other musical selections and traditions that are completely different and absolutely essential, as well.

Even if you're not a big fan of customs, many of your wedding guests are, so its a nice idea to include these traditional songs, particularly for your older guests. As a rule of thumb, many of the older people tend to leave the wedding reception earlier in the evening than the younger party crowd, so you will want to play these songs more randomly during the first hour or two of the dance.

Certainly, you will want to make sure to mix in sufficient modern music to keep the party crowd happy, too, so they don't get bored and drift off before the wedding reception songs you've been saving for them start to get performed!

Normally classic rock and roll is a crowd pleaser for all ages. Who doesn't enjoy music by the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Elvis, and Chuck Berry? And don't forget Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, Bob Seger, Eric Clapton, Aerosmith, the Eagles, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. A classic rock song like Sweet Home Alabama will have everybody tapping their feet and dancing in their seats, even if they don't get out on the dance floor.

The key to selecting good wedding reception songs is to mix it up a little or maybe a lot! Don't choose one single musical type for the entire evening except if you absolutely know all your guests love that type of music. Whether you select a live band or a disc jockey to spin records or CDs, make sure they come equipped with a wide collection so they can tailor some of the requests from guests throughout the evening and keep everyone entertained.
