Have you ever been at a party and lost track of which drink was yours? Then, rather than take the chance of drinking out of someone else's cup (ick!), you just go get a new one?
Have you ever been on the other end of that party -- the cleanup end -- and thrown out abandoned drinks?
If so, you'll like Zynks for your pre-wedding festivities. I found them over at The Party Goddess blog.
No one ever said informal pre-wedding get togethers called for arranged centerpieces or fancy vases. Who needs 'em when you can fill beer or soft-drink bottles or wine bottles with cut flowers and create something so simple and gorgeous as this.
...getting to know all about you...are you singing along?
A marriage is the merging of two people ... and two families. These Convo Pebbles -- found 'em over at With-This-Ring Weddings would be such a great ice-breaker and way for the families to learn a little bit about each other. So scatter the Convo Pebbles around the table at a wedding planning dinner or pre-wedding event and learn a little something about your new extended family!
The pebble colors and topics are fully customizable to coordinate with your event.
Hmmm....what was your last romantic dinner? Or your most memorable gift?
This chair ribbon would be such an easy, pretty decoration for any pre-wedding event. It could be color coordinated to your table decorations or the wedding colors!
So many times I see very cool ideas like this and say "I can do that!" -- when, really, I probably can't. But this....I CAN DO THAT!!!
I was recently contacted by Kathy Goodman of Well Rehearsed about a recent event that she was involved with. I learned about Kathy and her company and just had to share the information with you! While she is in the San Francisco area, Well Rehearsed can work with you to put together an event design plan that you can take to your local vendors.
Well Rehearsed specializes in creating -- or helping you create, if that's your choice -- unique rehearsal dinners that will have your guests saying, "WOW! That was a great way to kick off the wedding celebration!" What I especially like about Well Rehearsed is that Kathy stresses the importance of "keeping the event balanced and appropriately complementing or contrasting the wedding day itself." While the Rehearsal Dinner is a special event...it's not the main event.
You can tailor your Rehearsal Dinner planning to suit your needs, desires, and budget. Well Rehearsed offers the following services:
Well Rehearsed Rehearsal Dinners showcase the personality and interests of the bride and groom. Here are a few examples of their great events.
At a recent networking luncheon, my friend and hostess-extraordinaire Deletia Basden served these delightful, delicious, delectable chocolates.
I came across these adorable little Tea Bag Books over at Two Happy Stampers -- wouldn't one of these be a nice little "thank you" to someone who helped you out with your Daughter Bride's wedding in some way?
I came across this great idea for centerpieces over at Bubbly Bride. The idea was presented as using small cakes as individual table centerpieces at a reception.
What about, though, using a cake as the centerpiece for your pre-wedding entertaining! Bakeries make spectacular cakes at reasonable prices ... or showcase your own cake decorating talents!
Here's one of the cakes from the Bubbly Bride site:
If you try out this delicious-looking summer drink this holiday weekend, you just might want to serve it at one of your pre-wedding events!
It's not uncommon for the Mother of the Bride to do some pre-wedding entertaining: engagement party, bridesmaid brunch or lunch, welcome to out-of-town guests, or a post-wedding wrap-up celebration.
Since orange is one of "the" colors for this wedding season, I thought I'd "reel in" an idea that could be used in that color scheme. I came upon the favor idea first -- and when I found an inspiration board to go along with it, I just couldn't resist!

Then...a little favor from The Spoon Sisters: IT'S SOAP!
Note...I couldn't find the blog where I originally saw the goldfish soap. If I find out which blog, I'll update with the appropriate credit...sorry!
Question...would you then have little bowls of goldfish crackers scattered around???
