I went to the grocery store the other day and as you walked in the store they had a sign that said Make it a New Years resolution to bring your bags. This inspired my next idea and by now you've already guessed...
Instead of using gift bags that will just get thrown away for your welcome bags why not purchase reusable shopping bags. I'm sure you can find some really cute bags at your local stores or even online or you can order them custom made. Or if you and your fiance are environmentally friendly people this may even be a fitting wedding favor.
Go Green and you may get others to join you...and just think if they do everytime they go to the store and use your bag they'll be reminded of your special day :)

Happy New Year!!!
With the end of one year and the start of a new year it is the perfect time to reflect on the memories created over the past year and look forward to the memories that will be made in the new year.
My ideas for today are all about reflection.
My first idea is a gift for your wedding party. Purchase either an engraved picture frame or a really nice frame and include a note letting them know you will order an photo of their choice from your photographer to fit the frame. If you decide to go this route make sure your photographer captures either a family photo, or friend photo, or even just a photo of the person in your wedding party with their significant other. Keep in mind that they may not necessarily want a photo with you in it, but any photo they chose will remind them of the amazing time they shared with you celebrating your special day.
My second idea is for your wedding favors. This can be as expensive or inexpensive as you chose. Purchase picture frames. Inside each picture frame include a note letting them know that a photo from the wedding will be sent in a few weeks. Here are some different ways the cost can vary:
Option 1 - you can double the frames as seating place cards - list the name of the recipient(s) and seat assignment and below that put the note thanking them for sharing in your big day and that a photo will follow and have that show in the window of each frame
Option 2 - you don't have to give one to each person that attends - examples: if a husband and wife attend give them one frame, if a family of four attend give them one frame, etc.
Option 3 - the frame itself can be as expensive or inexpensive as you'd like - you can purchase anything from a magnetic picture frames to a more expensive engraved picture frame (you get the idea)
Enjoy every moment!
