What better way to add fun and whimsy to your event than to give a throw back to our childhood? Remember cootie-catchers? They were the highlight of recess in elementary school! And no matter what the occasion, these paper-packs-of-fun are an adoreable alternative to ceremony programs, favours or even menus!

The Ol' Switch-a-Roo!!!



Remember when it was complete taboo for anyone other than the Bride to wear white at a wedding? Well move on over sister because these days, Bridesmaids are taking over the shade! This planner is swooning over Brides that bask in bold colour letting their gal-pals don the pearly whites. After all, the white wedding dress was a fad that Queen Victoria started and...well...these days ladies are looking for inspiration from less...er...regal celebs.


Invitations made from Metal and Wood!!!

Who says that invitations have to be made of paper? This planner love, love, loves anything that steps out of the norm and invitations carved from metal and wood fit that description perfectly! Perfect for any fete, metal and wood can transform an invitation from flat and typical to sleek and modern-esque or classic and romantic.

Boy Bashes!!!

Gone are the days when guys would stand around at parties with their hands dug deep in their pockets, looking incredibly bored or men who considered a party to be a keg of beer and a BBQ. These days, guys are taking a super-charged interest in their celebrations -- whether it's a Birthday bash, Bachelor party, wedding or more. Not only is their interest in how these parties get planned ever-growing but their tastes and "big-picture" ideas are becoming more defined. This planner is over-the-moon that the masculine gender are more open to stylized events, unique concepts and to making a statement when it comes to their event.

Touchwood Rings!!!


Sleek and unbelieveably smart, Touchwood rings are a chic and ultra-Eco-friendly alternative to the traditional wedding bands. Who would have thought that something as simple as wooden rings could be so beautiful? These custom, hand-carved rings are made right here in Canada (British Columbia to be exact!) at Touchwood Rings and no two rings are alike as each set of rings is made from scratch. Choose from a wide variety of trees from Birch ("the giving tree") and Pine ("the tree of peace") to Oak ("strength of character") and more. With deep personal meaning attached to the materials used and a clear environmental conscience on its wearers, these rings leave more than just lasting memories of a beautiful wedding day...they leave a lasting impression on our planet.
