One of the most dreaded wedding planning tasks on your list could quite possibly be writing thank you notes for your wedding gifts , but it is one of the more important tasks to tackle. It doesn't have to be a hassle. With a little planning and a head start, the stress can be taken right out of it. WhereBridesGo.com has a few tips to share that can make this process an easy one. Buy Them Early Most people think of thank you note writing as something that you have to sit down and spend hours doing once the wedding is over. If you want to spend an entire day (or more) handwriting notes to everyone that attended your wedding, that's one way to go.

A guest book at your wedding is a wonderful keepsake of everyone that shared your special day with you. Traditionally, this was actually a book that guests simply signed their names in.

You can find many different ones at WhereBridesGo.com , and today's blog takes a look at a few of these for you.  Items For The Home You can replace the traditional book for guests to sign with keepsake items that can later be displayed in the home you will share as husband and wife. It can be a vase, jug, or shadowbox to hold a collection of items that guests will sign. A wedding that takes place at a winery is the perfect place to have everyone put their names on wine corks, or if you are getting married on a beach, have your guests sign pretty seashells.  Our online wedding accessory store also carries items that your guests can sign their names directly on, like the  Oval Cerami...

Here are a few ideas to get your own creative juices flowing for a snowy celebration.  Decorations There are a few different color combinations that would work wonderfully for a winter wedding theme. The most obvious is lots and lots of white. The addition of shimmery sparkles gives you that gorgeous look of the sun reflecting off of freshly fallen snow.
