Ellen DeGeneres Plans Wedding in Palm Springs

Posted on June 26th, 2008 by Kori Ellis in Celebrity Weddings

Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and her girlfriend Portia de Rossi are planning their wedding in Palm Springs later this year. Since California lifted the ban on same sex weddings last month, the couple has begun planning their wedding and reception.

According to the New York Post the wedding will take place at the Riviera Resort and Spa.

An anonymous source told the paper, “They didn’t sign the contract yet, but they are working out the final details and security.”

Palm Springs is a hot (literally) spot for weddings in recent years. It’s a great place to relax for sun and fun, so it’s no wonder that couples are choosing the city as their wedding destination.

If you were a celebrity couple, what type of wedding favors would you give your guests? I often hear of celebs handing out jewelry and other high priced items to their friends and family who attend their weddings.

Since we all can’t afford such lavish choices, we have to be a little more reasonable. But just because you don’t have a celebrity budget doesn’t mean your wedding favors have to be cheap and tacky.

Here at Truly Wedding favors, you can find a variety of high-quality, unique wedding favors. Whether you planning a wedding at the beach, in the desert, or anywhere in between, you will find what you are need!

Watch the video of “The Ellen Show” where Ellen announces that she and Portia are getting married.

Posted on June 7th, 2008 by Kori Ellis in Wedding Favors

Piano Place Card HoldersLast year, I went to a friend’s wedding reception at a piano bar. It was a small affair of about 50 people, but it was a really fun atmosphere. The pianist was awesome – he sang everything from showtunes to the latest pop hits. Even if you aren’t having your party at a piano bar, a pianist is a nice idea. It can be the perfect complement to a classy, black and white wedding or even a wedding with a Las Vegas theme.

If you are having pianist at your reception or just a big music fan, these Piano Place Card Holders are a nice choice.

Place card holders are terrific favors because they can serve a function at your reception and for years to come. These cute favors can be used to hold photos or memos in your guests’ homes long after the celebrations are over.

These cute cookie pictured here are from Elenis. They offer specialty cookies in various shapes and designs that depict holidays, hobbies and just about everything else – including weddings!

Wedding CookiesThe set pictured here is $65 for 17 cookies. You can also order individual designs, ranging from square monogram cookies to colorful cake cookies. You could use them as wedding favors, bridal shower favors or hand them out the morning after your wedding at brunch.

If you are feeling creative, you could probably bake similar cookies yourself and then package them as wedding favors. Though they wouldn’t be as perfect as the ones from Elenis, they’d be a little more affordable.

After baking and frosting your cookies, wrap them in cellophane and then package them in one of the wedding favor boxes available at Truly Wedding Favors.

My favorite is the Pink Plaid Purse favor box – it’s perfect for a bridal shower. For an Asian themed wedding, you should consider the “Double Happiness” favor boxes. These red and gold boxes are ideal for an Asian theme wedding.

Hawaii continues to be one of the most popular destinations for weddings and honeymoons. If you are planning a destination wedding in Hawaii, you should embrace the tropical theme.

Kissing Bells

Posted on May 15th, 2008 by Kori Ellis in Wedding Favors

A long time wedding tradition is for guests to ring bells that are placed on the tables at the reception. The ring of the bell signals the bride and groom to kiss. The clinking of glasses can also be a sign for the newlyweds to kiss.

White Open Heart Wedding BellIf you want to offer kissing bells at your wedding reception, Truly Wedding Favors offers a variety types of bells.

I think the best thing to do is get bells that can do double-duty as place card holders. The White Open Heart Wedding Bell pictured here does just that. These chrome wedding bells serve as place card holders, yet your guests can also ring them throughout the reception. I also love this chrome wedding bell which features an acrylic rose on top.
