Planning a Wedding Part 1 – Personalized Favors

Wedding planners and brides-to-be: Looking for a unique favor to give the guests at your wedding? PlaqueMaker can help.

Even though old English folklore proclaims Saturday as the unluckiest day to marry, an estimated 7,000 American couples marry every Saturday of the year –making it the most popular day to tie the knot!

Speaking of tying the knot, this new world phrase for marriage is inspired by an old Celtic custom of tying together the hands of the bride and groom, symbolizing the strength of their union.

This kind of traditional wisdom simply adds to the charm of planning a wedding –and most every wedding planner worth her weight in salt is familiar with it -such as offering a souvenir to wedding guests as a token of gratitude and remembrance. Jordan almonds wrapped in beautiful fabric, elaborate French bonbonniere boxes filled with confections and wedding cake are among the most common (courtesy of the ancient Romans, believed to have invented the wedding cake tradition by breaking a loaf of bread over a bride’s head, all to encourage prolific progeny).
