Happy Birthday! Little Things Donates to Make-A-Wish Foundation

On behalf of all of us at Little Things, we would like to wish a very Happy Birthday to the 15 year old girl who is celebrating her Quinceañera this weekend. 

Several weeks ago, Little Things Favors was contacted by the Association for Wedding Professionals International (of whom we are a member of) on behalf of the Sacramento Make-A-Wish foundation to donate favors for a make-a-wish child, who was about to celebrate her Sweet 15.  Her only wish was to have a beautiful and memorable Quinceañera.  We gladly offered to donate any favors that we carry for her party.  She chose the popular Sparkling Star Candle Favors. We hope that her Quinceañera is everything she has dreamed about and wish her the best!

The Wedding Hunt: Searching For The Perfect Wedding Items

Posted in Wedding Planning, Before The Wedding by littlethings on the July 25th, 2008

Part of the fun in planning your wedding is the hunt: the search for the perfect item. (Sometimes at the perfect price too!) It reminds me of the days of scavenger hunts - you have a list, you know the general areas to look, and the search goes on. Fun! Fun! Fun!

And then there is the thrill of finding the items you were looking for - like the perfect dress! Or the thrill from finding a completely unique item you can incorporate into your wedding. Or the thrill of finding the perfect matching items - it completely delights you and you know it will “wow” your guests.

You know what I’m talking about too! (I know you do, it gets me just as excited as it does you!) Finding bargains, shopping online, discovering the cutest pink heart wedding favor boxes or the trendy monogrammed hot cocoa packets to add to your tables.

What are you looking for? Congrats or Farewell wedding wands? A beautiful silk wedding fan? Silver wedding bells to ring for a kiss? Well look no further because at Little Things, we carry all the little things to make your wedding or event memorable and unique! I get so excited when I discover items to add to our collection, and I’m sure you will be too. Just check out our new wedding favors or our wedding favors as seen in bridal magazines - and I’m sure you’ll knock off a thing or two off your Wedding Hunt list.

Happy Planning and Have a Great Weekend!
Hugs,
Erica

“I just got engaged and I am not sure when to send out our invitations and save-the-dates.  Can you help?”

Although the timeline for sending out invitations and save the dates can be a daunting task, here are some basic guidelines for you to follow:

Engagement Party - send out invites 3 to 4 weeks before the celebration

Save the Dates - 6 months before your wedding, 8 months if your planning a destination wedding.

Wedding Invitations - 6 weeks before the wedding, 8 weeks if your guests have to travel to your venue.

Bridal Shower Invites - 4 to 6 weeks before the shower date

Thank You Notes - traditionally within 1 month of receiving, however it is acceptable up to 3 months after receiving the gift.
