Planning a Winter Wedding
Posted on September 28th, 2008 by Kori Ellis in Wedding FavorsMany couples are getting married outdoors, even in the wintertime. If you are planning an outdoor winter wedding, be sure to have plenty of torch heaters and a tented area to keep your guests comfortable and warm. Winter weddings are great fun because you can serve comfort foods at the reception, such as soups and casseroles. For beverages, cocoa, coffee, hot apple cider or a hot toddy are all appropriate choices.
If you are planning a winter 2009 wedding, your date is approaching fast. If you haven’t bought your wedding favors yet, don’t fret. There’s still time to order unique wedding favors that incorporate a frosty winter theme.

One of my favorite ideas for winter weddings is the personalized coffee kit. Each favor includes a bag of premium ground coffee and heart-shaped spoon. Pesonalized wedding favors add a nice touch to your reception.

Don’t Be Cheap and Tacky About Wedding Favors
Posted on September 27th, 2008 by Kori Ellis in Wedding FavorsA friend of mine told me about a very formal wedding that she atteneded recently where the couple gave store-bought cookies as wedding favors … and just two cookies to each guest. I’m not talking about any elaborate, expensive, beautiful cookies, but rather just generic cookies that cost a few cents each.
When you can afford to invite 300 people to your wedding, you shouldn’t skimp on wedding favors. Don’t get me wrong, you don’t have to spend a fortune. You can actually get cheap wedding favors that aren’t cheap-looking or tacky.
Here are Truly we offer a variety of unique wedding favors in almost every price range. If you want to go the “cheap” route, check out the Favors By Price section where you can find a variety of wonderful favors for under a couple dollars each.

Wine Wedding Favors
Posted on September 26th, 2008 by Kori Ellis in Wedding FavorsThe wine and champagne are a big part of your wedding reception. If you have decided to serve wine, offer two choices – red and white if you are serving a wide array of foods. 
If your wedding is in the daytime with light fare, stick with a white wine, a zinfandel or even spritzers instead. If you are serving pastas and beef, then obviously reds are a better choice. Get more tips on choosing wine for your wedding.
