Looking for fabulous wedding party gifts?

I found these REALLY cute tshirts on my new wedding romance travel site.

Click below and go to the “Extras” tab (at the top)
Wedding Romance & Travel

Then in the middle of the page, you will see a “Bridal Party Tees” button.
You can get T-shirt’s personalized with “Team Bride” then the bridesmaid’s name. They also have cute “bling” shirts with rhinestone personalization. Fabulous! :-)

OR

On the bottom left-hand corner of the “Extras” tab page, there is a link for “My Wedding Favors”.
Once you click on that, you will see Accessories in the left navigation bar; under that has “Bridesmaids Gifts” and “Groomsmen Gifts”. LOTS of cute unique personalized gifts – like flip-flops, tote bags, even a diamond ring compact.

Enjoy!

Wedding Day – New Reality Show!

Have you seen the new TNT show – Wedding Day? I just watched it and the hosts are two of my favorite wedding planners – Alan Dunn and
Diann Valentine! I don’t know if you’ve ever seen the show – For Better or For Worse. Alan Dunn was one of my favorites on the show with this out of the box ideas!
Anyway, this new show made me shed a few tears – which isn’t hard to do, but I think it has great potential. The entire premise is giving a fabulous wedding to a deserving couple who has been through tough times. Here’s a link to to more info:Wedding Day
Happy wedding planning!
