Add Some Spark to Your Wedding Bookmarks
Perhaps you're a couple that first bumped noses at your favorite offbeat bookstore. Or maybe you met fighting over the only copy of Le Monde at your favorite coffee shop.
The point is, you're both readers with a lifetime habit, so bookmarks seemed like a natural when it came time to pick out wedding favors. Here are some suggestions for adding some spark to your 'marks.
Is your guest list small? Personalize your bookmark favors even more by combining them with a small cookbook of favorite family recipes, or slender book of love poems.
Add a small card with a favorite poem or literary quote that has a special meaning for you.
Include a personalized note of appreciation with each bookmark favor.
Or include a small swatch of paper with each bookmark that invites each guest to scribble down some marital advice, or a remembrance of you, the couple. Collect the papers toward the end of the evening and paste them into keepsake book.
Having a winter wedding? Hang your personalized bookmarks (the kind that aren't wrapped in boxes, of course) from a special tabletop Christmas tree.
For couples with a strong faith element to their wedding, custom-designed bookmarks are a favorite way to convey some of their most cherished verses.
For a bookish bridal party member, combine your bookmark gift with a high-quality pen, a smattering of chocolate candies and an attractive, blank journal.
For special out-of-town guests, make a gift basket that helps them relax on arrival, including a beautifully-boxed bookmark favor, muffins or donuts, tea bags, coffee or seltzer bottles, and one or two popular paperbacks.
