The hottest gift trend -- gift certificates to Bed & Breakfasts!

Brides and grooms want them in order to de-stress and re-connect during the wedding planning phase. Parents LOVE them as thank-you gifts after the wedding. Bridal party members love them for planning their own romantic getaways. They're the hottest new gifts: gift certificates for the recipient's CHOICE of bed and breakfast listed on www.BnBFinder.com.

I think it's BRILLIANT! Joe and I stayed at a gorgeous B&B on Long Beach Island (www.amberstreetinn.com) last summer, and the cozy Victorian was pure bliss. So I'm very happy to recommend this as the perfect gift for before or after the wedding...and keep it in mind for anniversary or engagement gifts for others, as well!

And there's another attraction here: a B&B is the perfect place to hold your wedding vow renewal celebration. If you're not having the big wedding of your dreams right now, perhaps you can renew later. Or, your parents might be enjoying the party-planning so much, they may want to renew their vows and throw their own celebration. My new book Renewing Your Wedding Vows is out right now, so visit my site www.sharonnaylor.net for more on that title, and think about the fact that B&Bs are creating wonderful, new vow renewal packages!

If you'd like to find out more about the gift certificates and vow renewal packages, here's their latest release:
