Unique Cards and Gifts for Your Wedding Party, Family and Friends

I received a unique card from a bride thanking me for being her wedding planner. The card was personalized and drawn with cartoon-style characters. The bride ordered it from http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/. This site contains a wealth of specialized cards for many different occasions, including a variety of styles designed for inviting friends to be a bridesmaid, maid of honor, groomsman, flower girl; even a card to ask someone to walk you down the aisle. In addition to the wedding coordinator, there are thank you cards for the DJ, photographer, and other vendors.

In addition to weddings, special cards are available for business events, birthdays, graduations, announcing a pregnancy, and much more. Best of all, the prices are very reasonable, in most cases less than the cost of a generic card from a store. The site employs artists from around the world to design cards to the purchaser's specifications.

Another unique item I recently discovered is a book for your flower girl. Appropriately called "Flower Girl," it is a spiral-bound journal that allows the flower girl (or her mother) to capture information about how she was asked, the dress she wore, and more. There are poems and short stories and spaces for photos. An older flower girl will love this gift, as will her mother and any other woman who sees it. The book is published by Cool Springs Press. It is available on Amazon.com and through some bridal shops.
