First Impression of your wedding through Holiday Photo Cards

Setting your guests up for what they may expect at your wedding isn't just for Save the dates and invitations anymore. You can now create that first impression with your photo holiday cards. Even though you have not "officially" become a couple in terms of marriage you are still perceived as "together". So why not send out your holiday cards as a couple. Or perhaps you just recently got married this year. Send out your first official holiday greeting card with a beautiful picture from your wedding!

First impression means everything. From the moment your guests open the envelope you want them to think "This is going to be a great wedding"! Lets face it, our society judges appearances first and they know if they like something within the first six seconds. Everything you do in the year that leads up to or after your wedding will be a reflection of your wedding day. Let your guests open their holiday card and be amazed by how everything matches and fits your overall look!

I have found some great holiday photo card designs on Shutterfly. They offer a variety of styles that would fit any wedding theme. Just look for the cards that mimic the design of your wedding. I have picked a few of my favorite cards to show some examples of different cards you can use to fit your wedding look!

Kyleigh and Matthew's Wedding!

Yesterday, July 9th 2010 was Kyleigh and Matthew's Wedding Day! The ceremony was on 2nd avenue beach in Belmar and the reception was up the street at The Waterview Pavilion. There was a great breeze on the beach to keep us cool from the sun and the bride and her party looked stunning! Erin from Erin H Photography captured the day with awesome pictures, while Joe from NJ's Best Dj's had everyone on the dance floor! Head over to Erin's blog to catch a sneak peak of the pictures that she posted.

Kyleigh had her sand dollar place cards made by Shore Chic and she even had one made for us here at KC Event Planning, yay!

Couture Lollipops

I have been seeing these lollipops show up everywhere these days. They are super cute! You can use them on your candy buffet bar or for some fun pictures with your bridesmaids. If your feeling generous you can also give as your favor. But with a price tag of $22 you might want to stick to just your girls! You can find them at Sugar Factory, best part about them is you can save the glammed out stick and just replace the pop each time.
