Wedding Wednesday: Beautiful Balloons Are Trending For 2019

Don't dismiss the power of a balloon. If used creatively, they do have a wow factor! According to Martha Stewart Weddings and Mindy Weiss, world renowned event planner, balloon installations are trending in 2019. The key is to not make your wedding, shower or rehearsal dinner look like a child's birthday party. It's a job for professionals or a really good team of DIY friends. This is a two part post. You'll see how the party pros do it, and then how you can get the look with a little help from Etsy.

Destination Wedding Welcome Gifts

In a perfect world, you would like to meet your guests the minute they arrive at your destination wedding. That's not always possible, so greet them with a welcome gift in their hotel room. Though this nicety is not absolutely necessary, I highly recommend it. After all, your friends and family have travelled and gone to expense to honor you.  In my mind, a thank you is required.  Here's inspiration, big and small, for making your guests feel welcome on your wedding day.
   

HERE: 13 Ways To Gift Your Guests

Wedding Wine Labels
A nice bottle of wine is the perfect destination wedding guest gift. It will always be a welcome surprise in any hotel room. Of course one could add nuts, chocolate, etc., but a bottle really does stand on its own, and will be used! These labels are so well done.

Customized Wedding Welcome Boxes
You may know that pineapples are the symbol of hospitality. Make your guests feel right at home with these. They are great for holding splits of wine, mini water bottles, chips, cookies, etc. Keep that color palette going with many different colors available.
