    Great Cookie Wedding Favor Ideas

    June 13th, 2008

    What better way to say thank you to wedding guests then a wonderful cookie wedding favor. However, the question in most people’s mind is what are some good ideas for a cookie wedding favor. You do not want the cookie wedding favor to be to simple and homemade looking that others will laugh but you also do not want it to look commercial and mass produced. So there is a delicate balance that must be held with all wedding favors.

    By following some of the ideas below you can easily select a fun cookie wedding favor that will please everyone.

    Less is more

    This is really true when it comes to cookies. You do not want to overload the guest with a huge bag of 25 chocolate chips cookies placed in a zip lock back. You will want to go for a more sophisticated taste in cookies for a wedding favor. So instead of piling on tons of cookies go with just a few very elegant cookies. Less is truly more, more elegant, more savored, and more of a cookie wedding favor.

    Unique cookies

    Touched on this concept a little bit in the above paragraph but when putting together a wedding favor made up of cookies it is important to chose very fancy cookies. You do not want simple chocolate chip cookies. It can be helpful to do some search online and in cookbooks to find some classic cookie recipies. One way to keep them unique is to do a few different types of cookies and then place only one or two of each type of cookie in the wedding favor. This means there will only be a total of maybe 6 or 8 cookies but they will all be very unique.

    It’s all in the wrapping

    Presentation of the cookie wedding favor is also very important. No simple zip lock bag will work for this situation. The time of year, type of cookie and theme of the wedding will really dictate the wrapping. For example if it is a autumn wedding favor a pale pink tissue paper will be to subtle for the season. So try to think about all three things, theme, time, and cookies when putting the wrapping together.

    Below are some sample ideas that can work well. However none of these are set in stone and it is more important to use these as suggestions only and then be creative and see what works for your situation.

    Fortune Cookies

    These are an easy old stand by cookie that has quickly become a very popular wedding favor item. What makes them so fun is the ability to individualize the fortune inside. Also they are easily wrapped in Chinese to go box. These can be dressed up and made more elegant by dipping them in chocolate or even dipping them in white chocolate. Also a white chocolate with orange flavoring can be a nice touch. Wrapping them in gold, silver or bronze foil can also dress your basic fortune cookie up. As for the package it is very easy to find a Chinese food carton in a variety of colors. Just make sure to think about the colors of the wedding and try to tie these in to the favor as well. A simple personalized wedding label or tag can be a nice addition to round the gift off.

    Wedding Cake Cookies

    Want a little more whimsical and fun cookie wedding favor? Then a cookie shaped and decorated like a wedding gift can be the perfect touch. You can easily order these online or make them yourselves. Any recipie that uses shaped cookies like sugar cookies will do the trick. Then frost them in a white and add some cake decoration with the frosting. Adding personalized touches can really make these cookies become showstoppers. For example decorating each cookie in a unique individual way so no two are the same really helps. Also adding a personalized message to the guest can be a very classy addition. You will want to display the wonderful artwork of the cookie and display the effort that has gone into making these wonderful gifts. Therefore place these in small cellophane see through bags. Then tie them off at the top with a gold ribbon and a customized wedding label or tag.

    These are just two very simple ideas and it would be easy to think of a lot of others. Again by contemplating on the wedding theme, time of year, significant colors and so on you can easily derive a very creative or classic cookie wedding favor. By taking the time and planning before hand you can easily purchase the materials you need online or at your local craft store. If you decide that there is no time for homemade cookies and want to purchase them again you can do this easily online. Many people also like to go with a combination of purchasing cookies and then personalizing them with a label or wrapping. Just make sure you leave yourself enough time and plan ahead. This should be a lot of fun and if you give yourself the time to be creative you will end up with a wonderful cookie wedding favor.

    A girls best friend .. no seriously

    April 11th, 2008

    Sex Bomb asked over 1 hundred women in September what their favourite adult aid was along with other personal questions. A dildo can help add extra stimulation along with penetration. It was identified that the most favourite adult aid for women was the vibrator, and they just really liked it! Women were so excited by the idea of a large vibrator that many of them would use it straight after coming home from work. The best kinds of vibrator were the bunny vibrators as they help to stimulate the clitoris as well as inserting into the flower. The other find the new adult toy site found out was that the sex toy users just loved using their adult aid on a daily basis by themselves. If the UK shoppers were in a good relationship they would use it with their loving partners. If you like dildos you should try it with your favourite Masturbators. The other most popular adult aid was the exciting dildo dong. Dildos are similar to vibrators except they do not have batteries or vibrate. Dildos come in all shapes and sizes from seven inches to twelve inches. They can come with sucker cups to have a tremendous experience hands free and can easily attach to a bath or toilet set. Dildos have been a firm best seller since the 1990’s and looks like they will be around for a long time. Sex Bomb found the best way to pleasure a women is to buy them both a vibrator and a dildo.


    Unique wedding gift ideas - That Makes Weddings All Worthwhile

    April 1st, 2008

    Here we go again where tradition kicks in when buying gifts well it’s time for a change. Common presents received at weddings are toasters, crockery etc and you can be sure of two of the same gadget given at most weddings.
    Giving of gifts is a tradition that will go on for ever and heaven forbid should that stop then there would be no reason why we would want guests at the ceremony (Joke)

    Unique wedding gift donations will always hold fond memories for the married couple. Presents are a symbol of remembrance so make sure with what contribution you give that they get to remember you in a way that you want them to.

    Several unique gift ideas listed below that will certainly make you unforgettable.

    Jewelry
    Women absolutely love and adore ornate trinkets so no exception for the bride. To be on the receiving end of a unique wedding gift in the form of a piece of warm gold/cool silver is enough to make any wedding day special. Jewelry like pendants, brooch pins, earrings, hairpins, chains, necklaces make elegant gifts. His and her matching watches make fabulous gifts also. Depending on your budget and what the happy couple mean to you then diamond studded it is.

    Bags
    Another sure way of pleasing the bride is with a soft leather/suede handbag and a briefcase for the groom. Little tokens placed inside will add more excitement when opened. Cosmetic pouch for the bride and maybe a gold plated pen set for the groom.
    Small gifts make great presents and mean as much like perfumes/scents and aftershave for the male taking the plunge. Just make sure not to offend by giving deodorant, we don’t want to send out the wrong signals.

    Gift ideas for the groom
    Fantastic ideas worth considering for the groom is a pocket watch personalized and engraved, tiepins or precious stone studded cufflinks. If you happen to know the groom and his likes and dislikes then even better. If music is his thing then give guitar/drums whatever. WARNING, do not give before the wedding we need him to turn up on the day and heaven forbid if his love of golf is stronger then this gift is to be given after the marriage has been consummated.

    Artwork
    Ideal wedding gifts are pieces of art like paintings/sculptures. This again will need some intimate knowledge on the couple and what their preferences are in this department
    Personalized items
    Personal items given as gifts are sure to go down well like photo albums, pillows, guilt edged photo frames. Companies that specialize in personalizing different things are in abundance.

    Why not consider at a later date sending them on their first holiday or weekend break. Wedding gifts symbolise remembrance of the donor. If you really want to leave your mark that is guaranteed an unforgettable gift then it is gold locket with a picture of you inside. (It’s worth a try)
