If we can find a way stay happily married, we have a better chance of staying married!

Ideally we’d only say “I Do” once and live happily ever after. But the sad truth is that sometimes marriages don’t last. And perhaps they don’t last because they just don’t work. Sounds like a simple problem with a simple solution, right? Actually, making a marriage work is a complex matter that often takes a lot of work!

Many factors can contribute to a failing marriage. Sometimes the fault lays with one person and some issues can be blamed on both parties. Even more importantly, some things that can adversely effect a marriage is a product of something completely out of our control; an act of God , if you will. Anything from financial matters, to family concerns, to trouble with the children, to mistrust, to lack of communication to just about anything that a couple can disagree on, can contribute to separation, which can ultimately end in divorce. Whatever the reason, if your marriage is failing, divorce should be a last resort. Always exhaust all other possibilities before going that route.

Then there’s always your average, run of the mill, all too common celebrity divorces. So much drama! A recent example is the very short lived marriage of Kim Kardashian. Check out the link below to read about her story

Give wedding party gifts to the members of your wedding party to show your appreciation

Wedding party gifts are a way of saying “thank you for being part of my special day”.  And while that’s a great idea and a noble thing to do, who do you buy gifts for. And what do you buy those people. It is customary to buy a gift for each member of the wedding party. This includes the best man, the maid or matron of honor, each groomsman and each bridesmaid. If you have a flower girl and/or a ring bearer, include them too.

You can get each bridesmaid and each groomsman the same gift. You will probably want to get the best man and maid of honor something different, and perhaps a little more intricate or expensivce. Keep in mind that wedding party gifts should be included in your overall wedding budget and that the more people you have in the wedding party, the more money you should set aside for gifts.

What do you get your best man and your maid of honor? Check out the links below to get some great ideas. Additional wedding party gift ideas, including children, can be found at weddingtreasurechest.com.

Junior members of the wedding party deserve recognition too

A beautifully traditional wedding guest book adorned with a pair of heart crystals dangling from a bow

The wedding guest book was once a necessity.  In days of old, everyone who attended a wedding was considered a witness and was required to sign the marriage document.  Today, even though the legal requirements for witnesses has changed, the concept of a wedding guest book remains as a wonderful remembrance for the wedding couple.  Having a guest book at your wedding today may not be a necessity, but it is sure to bring the happy couple many memories for years to come.

At Wedding Treasure Chest we offer a wide variety of wedding guest books and wedding pen sets.  From the more traditional  Abundant Love Guest Book pictured above or a white with silver/gold combination like our Filigree Guest Book…

"Guests" embossed in either silver or gold filigree in this simple yet classic wedding guest book

… to our more contemporary guests books such as the Sweet Love Guest Book which features brown and pink satin accented with a pearl and rhinestone closure…

Brown and pink satin sweetly joined together to create this elegant wedding guest book

Any guest book you choose should represent the atmosphere of your wedding and the essence of the couple.  Of course, impressing your guests is always a thought… and what better way to impress your guests than with the Wedding Guest Book!  We also offer a variety of customizable guest books such as our Splash of Color Guest Book  and our Twice the Pleasure Guest Book.
