Site recommendations

In the post-holiday crush of press releases, a few stood out as ones I should pass along to you. [Note: I have no experience with some of these companies, so I'm not endorsing them per se. I just thought you'd like to check them out!]

www.signaturedays.com -- A registry for experiences, like dance classes, horseback riding, wine tasting, etc.
www.cloud9living.com -- Same as above, with hot air balloon rides and other adventures
www.kodakgallery.com -- Yes, you already know about this one, but check out their new Legacy albums -- supersized pages (12x14), which will cost you far, far less than ordering print from your pros.
www.ncdia.com -- The colored diamond association, for info and buying details on naturally colored diamonds. And check out that pic of the Jubilee Diamond -- amazing!
www.youtopthecake.com -- Polymer clay renditions of the cake-topper bride and groom made to look like you. It's a little crafty-looking, but the concept is really fun if this is your style
www.idofoundation.org -- A charitable registry, with articles on how to donate your leftover wedding food to shelters and food pantries
www.mountaincow.com -- Terrific software for creating your own save the date cards, invitations, and all manner of printed items (check out my articles on their site for ideas!)
www.charmingfavours.com -- Owner Dana Smith-Acosta makes gorgeous favors using silver charms
www.destinationbride.com -- If you'll get married away, check out the articles on this one.

Coffee's ready, so my day begins now...
