Warm Up Your Guests With This DIY Favor!

At Events by Amore we are always thinking of fun, creative ideas for our brides to incorporate into their wedding! In this chilly winter weather, everyone loves a big cup of hot cocoa, so why not save some money on this cute DIY wedding favor?

The only materials you will need is a small glass jar with a cork top, a small funnel, a hot cocoa mix (or you personalize it and make your own mix), and cute ribbon and tags to match your decor!

If you've never made your own personalized hot cocoa mix you can search online for unique mixes. Add in a little extra sugar, peppermint or cinnamon to change up the flavor! After your mix is made, use the funnel to pour it into your jar!

Try these great recipes!

Now its time for the fun part! Pick out a fun ribbon and tag to match your decor to tie around the bottle top. With the tied ribbon, it almost looks like a cozy scarf around the bottle. Attach your tag to the ribbon and include a cute message on the tag such as, "Something Sweet For You" or "(Bride) and (Groom) Wish You Many Cozy Evenings This Season". This is a great chance to be creative! Make sure on your tag that you include whether the cocoa needs to be mixed with hot water or milk!

If you're not a fan of hot cocoa, you can always switch it up by pouring a chai tea mix or one of your favorite homemade spices you love to incorporate in your cooking! You could even pour a delicious brownie mix into the jar! Be creative!

Holiday Party? Try these fun games!

Looking to have a holiday party coming up? Try some of these fun holiday games to use as icebreakers for the guests or just to liven up the party!

This first game is called Kiss it Relay:

Place a large bowl of Hersey's kisses on a table. Divide the party into two even teams and have them line up 10-15 feet away from the bowl of kisses. The first person in each line will be given two oversized oven mitts. When "go" is announced, they will run to the table and try to unwrap the Hershey kiss as fast as they can. After it is unwrapped, they bring it down to the next person in line, pop it in their mouth, and the line continues the relay!

The next game is called Oh Christmas Tree:

This game is for children and adults! As the host you will give each party guest a piece of green construction paper. When "go" is announced, they will have a designated amount of time to rip the construction paper behind their back into their best Christmas tree! Before they get a chance to look, give them holiday stickers to decorate their tree with. After every guest is finished, hang the up the tree's on your home tree and have everyone judge which is the best looking tree!

A final game is Sneaky Santa:

When your guests arrive at your house, have them put on a name tag. As the host, write a small letter in the corner of each tag in one of three colors. Add a small note on the back of the tag that instructs the guests to find their matching letters to make a holiday phrase. The first group to figure out their phrase and say it out loud, wins a party gift!

Fun Wedding Idea: Spin Wheel

If you're looking for something fun for you and your guests at your wedding, here's a great idea!

Party Wheels are something small and inexpensive that you can incorporate at your wedding. It is a spin wheel that has different actions such as "Bride and Groom Kiss", "Sing a Verse from a Love Song", "Do the Twist" and many more! There are companies that you can order these from, or you can be creative and make up your own actions! This is a great way to personlize your wedding for you and your guests.

A party wheel would be ideal for a smaller wedding, but if you feel up to the challenge it would be great to have at a large wedding for a night full of fun!

HAPPY SPINNING!

Featured: A Dance 2 Last Forever

This week we are featuring A Dance 2 Last Forever! Not only do we at Amore love Deanna, but our brides love her too!

A Dance 2 Last Forever was created by Deanna Dys to serve the needs of the sophisticated, modern-day couple wanting to look elegant and graceful as they dance together for the first time as husband and wife.

These are not "cookie-cutter" dance lessons but a unique experience guaranteed to bring out the best in you on one of the most important days of your life.

Deanna has created wedding dances for an Oscar winning actress, a Grammy award winning singer, and numerous "couples next door" who are stars in their own right on their wedding day.

Your first dance will be tailored to your individual style and personality, allowing your love for each other to shine through on the dance floor.

Having your first dance professionally choreographed will have you looking and feeling confident as you dance in front of your family and honored guests for the very first time as husband and wife.

A Dance 2 Last Forever offers free consultations for all styles of dance. All dance sessions are one on one in a private studio, or any location you may choose. Another great thing about A Dance 2 Last Forever is that included is a DVD of your completed dance so you may review before your big day!
