I am a big proponent of individual menus at weddings and events, especially if guest are being offered a choice of entrees. As a guest it is nice to know exactly what you are about to eat, and a menu can act as a beautiful addition to your table setting. Use a simple menu card or get creative.
This sets the bar high, it is the most creative proposal I have ever seen and as a Starbucks lover I am so impressed/slightly jealous. Shane wanted to recreate his first date with his now bride to be Mikaela. Instead of just proposing at their local Starbucks (as most guys would do), Shane took his proposal to the next level by recreating a Starbucks in the woods! This proposal was all in the details and incredibly thoughtful with the couples first date drinks, large comfy Starbucks chairs, and even a drink bar complete with personalized iTunes cards and cake pops. How Shane managed to get all of the Starbucks items on loan, let alone personalize each one and transport them to the woods is beyond me. You can read more about the proposal over at Green Wedding Shoes. Congrats to Mikaela and Shane.
This is an amazing idea. Instead of sending flowers or a gift basket to celebrate a momentous occasion or celebration, send an oversize balloon adorned with ribbon and hand cut paper from Geronimo Balloon Troopers. You can be sure that the person on the receiving end will be shocked (and overjoyed) when a massive helium masterpiece arrives at their front door. Geronimo Balloons can be shipped anywhere in the US and are available for special order in Canada.

Seriously loving the look of long tables. While they may not be as ideal as round for striking up conversation, they are stunning and can act as elegant visual centerpieces for your event. By using a repeat centerpiece or alternating between high and low, these tables are so dramatic. I also like the fact that long tables allow for more guests to be seated in one place, meaning less work for the host when it comes to divvying up tables.
