Great new Cake Stand Idea!

I wanted to pass along a new reception idea that I came across recently. Its a company that designs custom cake stands. Apart from the traditional silver or gold plateaus, there aren't many modern or custom options for today's trendy or modern bride. Raise the Cake however, provides a new way for brides to show off a beautiful wedding cake while showcasing their wedding colors, personal style and even a little bling.

"Design your own cake stand to match your event or choose one from our Couture Line. From Glizzy & Glam or Fun & Funky to Sleek & Mod, there is a cake stand for you. All stands come in 3 lightweight, one-time use sizes and arrive to you with directions and helpful ideas on how to make your cake table look faboo!" (http://www.raisethecake.com/)

Tip of the Day Tuesday...Welcome Baskets for your guests

Guests spend a great deal of cash to travel to your wedding so why not go the extra mile to make them feel welcome (and special) when they arrive in what may be a strange town?? What's even better, make it a basket they will find useful during their stay. If you are getting married near a beach, give your guests a basket with some sunscreen, bottled water and a map to the nearest beach! Take a look at http://www.navyandlavender.com/. All of their baskets come with a great little kit called "Rescue Me" that includes personal items like toothepaste, bandaids and tissues.
