Sensible Wedding Keepsakes
Special occasion keepsakes don’t always have to be made of glass, silver, ceramic, plastic, or cloth. In keeping with today’s ecological campaigns about minimalism and reducing clutter and waste, it seems a better, more realistic idea to give away edibles and beneficial items during weddings, parties, reunions, and other momentous happenings.
A few sensible couples have already put this in practice. Rather than have an oversized cake made for the grand event, one newlywed pair opted for several little cakes which they then presented as wedding favors to guests and loved ones. The petite cakes were packaged in cute cartons that carried the colors and motif of the bridal entourage, as well as a personal message from the husband and wife. Of course, the recipients of the boxed cakes were thrilled with their booty and went home with smiles on their faces.
Another couple contributed to the Earth’s cause when they tied the knot. They did this by giving everyone bookmarkers made of recycled paper. More significant though was the message in the keepsake which stated that a mahogany tree has been planted in the name of each guest/recipient, and that this move will benefit more than just a community in the years to come.
