My job as an officiant sometimes crosses over into other duties, such as offering suggestions to couples who come to me with questions and in search of ideas. I am asked if I know of different vendors such as a caterer, a musician or items to decorate or feature at their reception. Often, people assume that as an officiant, I attend a lot of receptions. This isn't true, much to popular belief. On occasion, an invite is extended to me to stay to enjoy a meal with the bride and groom's family and friends.
I worked with two different couples this summer, who I found out after they had booked me, knew each other. Tyler & Ashley of Edmonds, WA and Lisa & Bill of Kingston, WA were planning on having their wedding in the same location.....in Tyler & Lisa's grandmother's backyard. (I found out that Tyler and Lisa were cousins -- small world!) An invite was extended to me to stay for both receptions.
Tyler and Ashley married in August; Lisa & Bill in September just a few weeks later. Both sets of couples had these great party favors for their guests -- made to order, custom fortune cookies by Linda & Mike's Fortune Cookies! These are not your typcial, small, run-of-the-mill fortune cookies that you get at your local Chinese food restaurant. These yummy cookies are a larger, more decorative version complete with a message of your choice found inside each cookie.
I took home a business card to find more information about these unique party favors. I found that they are very affordable and are high quality little goodies. Here's their website if you'd like to check them out for your celebration:
