Happy New Year

Happy 2009! New Years has always been one of my favorite times of the year. I love the parties, dinners, silly hats, champagne toasts, and even those noisy horns that unroll as you blow into them. But most of all I love the feeling of a new year, a new beginning, and the opportunity to make time for those things that just seem to slip by year after year. Sometimes those resolutions still don't work out, but it is a great feeling that this is your year for success and that you have the opportunity to make it happen!
                                   
In keeping with the new year, I thought I would share the rather neat idea of personalized champagne and wine bottles. This would be great as a bridal party gift, part of your welcome baskets, or even as guest favors at the reception. After all...who doesn't love a nice bottle of wine or champagne? And, even after the contents are enjoyed, the bottle will still serve as a lovely memento from your wedding day. 


There are many companies and websites that offer these products, but one of my favorites is www.signaturewines.com. They offer a nice selection of varietals at a very affordable price and their selection of label templates is outstanding. You can even order just the personalized labels for your own bottles if you happen to make your own wine or have a specific brand that you would rather pick up at the store. Either way, your very own wine bottles would add a unique and personalized element to your wedding day!

I hope you enjoyed your new year and best wishes for 2009!
