Wedding favors have always been a nice, personal gesture to include in your wedding preparations. Unfortunately, there are too many "cookie-cutter" type favors out there, which portray the couple's lack of interest in providing something unique.
Here is a Wedding Favor Creator for you to use for your upcoming wedding or one that you're planning for your best friend. You can mix and match to your heart's content and according to the budget you have.

your local dollar store)

Be
Prepared With A Bride's Emergency Kit
Are you ready for the wedding? Remember: things
get wrong when they are least expected! Get ready with the bride's emergency
kit - make sure your most important event will not be ruined!
Happiness - the Ultimate Egoism?
Is happiness made by romance, egoism, success, wealth or flexibility?
Happiness is a moving target: as things and circumstances change in
our lives, happiness becomes defined differently. If one goal turns
out to be unachievable, most of us have the suppleness to redefine our
desire and go for the newly formulated goal.
Family Matters!
Having relationships is all about making emotional commitments to people we care about.
One of the ways to find your happiness involves having a
healthy family, friends, partners, etc. Appreciate the people who have touched our lives in positive ways. Studies have shown that those who are truly happiest are those with strong connections to the people they
love.
