As the months wind down and the evenings get cooler, the traditional wedding season is coming to a close. But, for some, this is when the real fun will begin. An autumn wedding can be a great way to celebrate. It can be a little more elegant and a lot less sweaty, and you can have nature decorating for you, depending on where you will be throwing the party. 

Now that your business is in its last quarter of sales, it’s time to start planning your end-of-the-year recognition awards ceremony. COVID-19 has changed the way the world has lived, worked, and played. If your employees are homebound because of the coronavirus, you can still recognize their efforts with an online ceremony celebrating their accomplishments.

Some of the most interesting gifts are the kinds that have a lot of little things to open. From stocking stuffers to individually wrapped gift sets, the fun of discovery and the chance to personalize makes this style of giving memorable for the giver and the receiver. And nowhere does this idea shine more than wrapped up inside a big gift basket. Whether it's a thank you for your wedding party, a holiday gift for your team or to welcome a new baby, baskets are thoughtful, surprising, and a whole lot of fun.

The people that you choose to stand with you on your wedding day are among the most important cheerleaders you have in your life. They’ve been with you through the thick and thin of it all, and you can’t imagine them not being by your side as you say, “I do!”. 

Dating back to the 17th century, the tradition of giving favors at a wedding has a long history, and offers a chance for the couple to show their appreciation by providing their loved ones with a momento of this very important day.

Part of the beauty of a wedding is the coming together it represents. Of course it is a celebration of the marriage of two people, but it is also a joining of two families, and sometimes of different cultures as well.
