The traditional wedding has a make over!

What springs to mind with these words - Disney, pirate, Halloween, Elvis. Fancy dress, yes, but what about wedding themes? I know they are a little odd, and not everyone’s cup of tea, but these themes are certainly different, daring and memorable! I came across some wedding pictures in a newspaper, the bride and groom exchanged vows as Shrek and Princess Fiona from the movie Shrek. Genius! They definitely went all out, complete with costumes, green face paint and wigs, not only that, the guests got into the spirit of the theme and wore costumes similar to ones seen in the films. 

 

Some might roll their eyes and think this choice for a wedding is making a mockery of the ceremony, whilst others may feel that a wedding is about the couple and their wishes, therefore they should do what makes them happy.

 

Perhaps the traditional dress code of a wedding has evolved, even if women wear a long flowing dress, the choice of colour is more than white, cream, or ivory. Now the bride to be can opt for a two-toned dress, fluorescents and even black. This is definitely different from the more traditional look we are so used to seeing, but change is good and this shows more people are becoming adventurous and bold in their dress making decisions. One thing’s for sure, the guests will be surprised and let’s face it, it is nice to stand out from the crowd, be different and have your own style, rather the follow the norm.

                      

So if you have been invited to a themed wedding, throw yourself in and enter into the spirit if the occasion. Remember to send your wedding greeting cards to the happy couple in time, perhaps pick a gift which is unique and unexpected. Take lots of photos, have a wonderful time and celebrate with the happy couple.

Here is a great You Tube clip of a couple who went all out and had an Elvis themed wedding. Try to ignore the photographer who gets in the way at the beginning! This is a great video, it features some classic Elvis hits which the wedding party has a good old boogie to! How the couple kept a straight face when they said their vows I don’t know, but you have to give them credit for doing something unique. This is going to be a fabulous video to show the Grandchildren!

 

 

Weird and wacky weddings are only the start, what about all the little bits and pieces that are essential such as the cake. The traditional sponge cake decorated in pure white icing has always been a popular favorite, but keep your eyes peeled for some truly delectable wedding cakes.

        

I guess if you have an object in mind a great baker could create the wedding cake of your dreams. If you want something a little different but don’t want to go over the top then why not try browsing through some of these wonderful sites and see if anything takes your fancy.

Arty Party Cakes has some fabulous ideas for decorating wedding cakes, the more traditional cake shines through but with some added glitz and glam. These cakes can be delicately decorated with sugar flowers which makes them eye catching and extra special.

Another great site to look at is novelty-cakes.net, this is a great site which has many novelty, contemporary and traditional wedding cakes to choose from. Whether it be a special sports cake, a cool and colourful creation, or quite simply a tempting traditional tiered cake you are sure to find something that will taste amazing and surprise your guests.

If you are getting married and want to have a cake which is unique and special then let your imagination run wild, do some research and find out what kind of style suits. Even better go and have lots of meetings with bakeries and ask to sample the cakes they have on offer. Like the design, the type of cake is endless, chocolate sponge, vanilla, lemon, fudge, carrot…

Every bride should make a grand entrance on her wedding day, so why not think outside the box and go one step further than a shiny black car with white ribbons? Of course it really depends where your ceremony is going to be held as this could limit your options if the location is difficult to get to. However there are now loads of amazing modes of transport available, here are some ideas to inspire.

A horse drawn carriage is a popular option with many types and colours of carriage to choose from, you too can feel like a princess for a day. Opt for a traditional style carriage, or maybe choose something a little more daring – like a glass carriage. No matter what you choose you are sure to arrive in style and just think of the amazing photos you will be able to take.

Take to the skies and arrive in a helicopter, this is such an alternative way to make a grand entrance! Imagine the breath taking views whilst flying in to land to greet all your guests. This is one mode of transport that all your friends and family will be talking about for years to come. Perhaps not such a great idea if you or your partner is scared of heights, but with that small problem aside arriving by helicopter is a wonderful way to make that grand entrance.

If you like to keep your feet firmly on the ground there are many more marvelous ways to arrive to your wedding destination. Why not transport your entire wedding party in a bright red London bus? Yes it can be done – there are loads of places which allow you to hire those iconic London double decker buses. Another great idea for motoring modes of transport is to hire out vintage cars. These will always look sleek and elegant and are a great way to arrive in style.

Alternatively if you prefer your wedding party to be with you why not opt for a limo – there is more than enough room and you can sip on the bubbly on the way to your wedding!

No matter how you choose to arrive, what you choose to wear, or how your cake will be decorated, the most important thing is have fun and enjoy yourself. Celebrate with your friends and family, take lots of pictures to remind yourself of your wonderful day and be happy in the knowledge that you did things your way!

 

 

 

We are a very active bunch in the e cards office and we often organize lots of trips out including wakeboarding, clay pigeon shooting and the occasional spin in an off road buggy.

 

 

It is great fun to try something new, the last wakeboarding trip was awesome, everyone had a go and we all managed to stand up for a few seconds (well, sort of!) It is a lot harder than it looks but well worth a try.

 

After the days activities we love going down to the local pub by the sea front, share baskets of chips washed down with some cider. Fingers crossed the weather clears up soon as we are trying to plan our next trip, watch this space to see some photos!

Birthdays are great! Whether it is an old friend, or a member of the family, it is always thoughtful to throw a bit of a birthday bash to celebrate! What sort of things do you buy when holding a birthday party? Balloons and birthday cake complete with candles have always been firm favourites, but what about buying something different and more exciting. Here are a few ideas to help you throw a fantastic birthday party using those classic favourites with a twist.

Edible photographs

Yes that is right! Thanks to eatyourphotos.co.uk you can create a wonderful birthday cake with a real surprise. Simply send them your chosen photograph and they will design an edible masterpiece which you then place onto your cake. You can choose to either have the actual photo created into a delicious delight, or you can add some humor and request to have a caricature made, the choice is yours. This is a wonderful way to jazz up a birthday cake and really show the lucky birthday boy, or girl, that you have made an extra effort to make their day special.

 

Party Cannons

If you have ever thrown a surprise birthday party no doubt you would have used classic party poppers. They might be mini, but they sure pack a punch once the string has been pulled. However, if you want to go one step further how about opting for the party popper’s bigger and louder alternative – the party cannon. The party cannon is just a large version of the classic party popper and has lots of glitter, confetti, streamers, and other goodies concealed inside.  They can be used both indoors and outdoors, but obviously must be used with caution, don’t point it at someone’s face then let it off – a trip down A and E will not make for a good birthday party! Sites such as partybox.co.uk provide a huge variety of fantastic party treats.

                                   

These are no ordinary candles

No birthday party is complete without a yummy cake and if you have a cake, you will definitely need candles.  The partycandleshop.com is ready to provide you with candles for all occasions – with a twist. You can buy musical cake candles which rotate, play music and some even change colour, dazzling cake candles which are almost like sparklers, or colour flame candles which provide a rainbow of coloured flames. All of these would make a special change from the traditional candles seen on a birthday cake.

                                  

Alternative fun foods

Why not add something to the party which is sure to surprise everybody and create a great conversation piece for years to come. Why not hire out a giant chocolate fondue set, a pop corn stand, or even a candy floss machine – the guests are sure to enjoy the delicious treat and it will definitely make for an unforgettable party. There are many companies around where you can hire from, the Premier Fondue Company can provide an assortment of fountains and other tempting food creations. Why not hire a ‘grown-up’ treat such as their Bailey’s or beverage fountain, a brilliant boozy idea.

                    

Personalised decorations

Balloons and banners are a great way to inject some colour and they really create a party atmosphere. Go that extra mile to make the decorations special by personalizing them.  There are many sites available where you can add your own personal message, such as net balloons, which allow you to do exactly that. This site also provides an option called bear in a balloon which could also double up as a cute gift idea.

                                                                    

These are just a few ideas to make any party one to remember, the most important thing is to really pull out all the stops and make the birthday boy, or girl the center of attention and throw them an awesome birthday bash.

 

The terrible weather has been causing some problems in Devon!

Here is a picture of the ecards company boat which has been on the receiving end of the harsh weather - the boat sank in the horrible conditions! The problems did not end there, next the trailer used to bring the speed boat to a safe place to be fixed fell apart on the way, the wheels decided to fall off! Not a good start, luckily all was sorted out and the next mission is to fix the huge hole so the boat can float once again.

We are constantly being encouraged to become more environmentally friendly in order to help protect the planet. We recycle as much as we can and we try and opt for healthy and green alternatives to driving our cars, but what other things can we do to help out? Here are suggestions for a greener lifestyle, why not try some out for yourself and see what you think.

Buy natural bath and shower products

You can buy bath and shower products which contain natural ingredients and are free from nasty chemicals in many beauty shops. What if you could walk into a shop and everything they sold was natural and all packaging was created from recycled materials? With Lush Cosmetics this is exactly what you get, a whole shop totally dedicated to providing quality bath, shower and grooming products.  Not only do they provide single pots and bags of their lovely products, but also gift packs are available which make great gifts for friends. With so many products to choose from suitable for men and women at pocket friendly prices, Lush Cosmetics are great for a present or a relaxing treat for yourself.

                    

Opt for ‘greener’ clothing

Shops such as Sea Salt pride themselves on selling clothing which has been given the Soil Association seal of approval. This means that the cotton produced in order to make these clothes have been grown in chemical and pesticide free soil, which is a great way to be absolutely sure that your clothes are environmentally friendly right from the source. Not only does Sea Salt sell a whole host of clothing which is eco-friendly, but also a range of stationary and other accessories which are 100% recycled. Great items include a tide and time clock made from recycled coffee cups, pencil cases recycled from car tyres, and a variety of note pads containing recycled paper whilst the front and back is created from recycled plastic boxes! No matter what your budget there is something to suit all pockets and the recycled accessories would make fabulous gift ideas for friends and family.

 

        

Instead of plastic bags opt for the environmentally friendly alternative

With many popular shops such as Marks and Spenser, and W.H Smith charging for plastic bags as a way to encourage us to reuse them why not invest in an eco friendly ‘shopper’ bag which will last the distance. A great site which sells a whole range of environmentally friendly jute (or hessian) bags is The Good Bag Co. This site sells a wide variety of shopping bags in an assortment of sizes, colours and each bag has a fun catch phrase printed on it such as “Love is good” “My Little Lunch Bag” and “Wine is good”.  Using plastic bags is ok as long as you remember to reuse, or recycle them, the problem is that they are not very strong and can tear easily. By investing in a few ‘shopper’ bags you can use them time and time again since they are very tough and surprisingly they can hold a large amount of items – no need for plastic bags ever again!

         

Opting for eCards rather than traditional paper greetings

Traditional paper greetings cards are very popular especially during birthdays, Valentine’s Day and Christmas, but what if there was a way to still send friends and family great greetings but lower your carbon footprint at the same time? Well look no further because here at ecards.co.uk you can do exactly that – send as many quality online greetings cards as you like because not only are eCards better for the environment, but are also totally free. Choose from loads of lovely designs for a whole range of occasions and do away with expensive paper greetings and postage costs whilst helping Mother Nature at the same time.  Another great reason to opt for an ecard is that you don’t even need to leave the comfort of your own home in order to send a greeting to a loved one! This also comes in handy if you have perhaps left it too late to pop down to the shops to buy a card, why not browse through the site and see what amazing cards are available.

Make every little count

No matter how big or small the action every little helps when it comes to the environment. There are many different things we can incorporate into our busy lifestyles in order to help out. Why not consider taking showers instead of baths or rather than turning the heating up in your home simply put another jumper on. We are constantly being encouraged to recycle more, so in addition to this why not put left-over food to good use by creating your own compost, great for gardens! Another great idea is lift sharing, if your destination is too far away to walk, then sharing transport with friends is a great alternative to help lower your carbon footprint.

There are many more ways to become greener and more eco-friendly, chat amongst your friendship group to swap and share ideas, or do your own research to discover different ways you can help the environment.

How wonderful is the internet? One thing’s for sure, it has definitely made our lives so much easier, we can find information with a few clicks of the mouse. Being able to discover news and information is great for work, but what about play?

How do you relax and take some quality time out after a stressful day? Some may choose to indulge in some retail therapy online, others may decide to watch a film or documentary, whilst some may opt to play computers games. There are many computer games you can play online, from traditional card games, to action packed games, it just depends on your preference.  With this in mind here are some awesome games you can play online to either unwind, or simply have fun after a hard days work.

The classic Pac Man

Pac Man is a well known and much loved arcade game. The rules are simple – gobble up all the yellow dots around the maze whilst avoiding the ghosts on your way. A life is lost if you run into a ghost, so be wary and navigate your way round the maze quickly, but carefully! Try and eat some of the fruit which pops up randomly, you will get bonus points. This is a classic game, and it may look easy, but those pesky ghosts are clever and will follow you. However, there is a way to get your own back, eat one of the large flashing dots located in the corners and you will be invincible for a few seconds – use this time wisely and watch your score rocket!

Space Invaders

Another classic game that is popular with many people is Space Invaders, the simple graphics have not changed much over the years which definitely adds to the charm. The object of the game is simple-destroy the alien invaders, before they destroy you! Hide behind shelters to protect yourself, but be aware – gradually these defense bunkers are destroyed in the battle. This is a great game to play online and is seriously addictive, why not give it a try and see what you think?

Othello

If you prefer to play traditional board games then online Othello is ideal. Just like the board game, the object is to ‘trap’ your opponent with your discs in order to flip them to your colour and dominate the board.  Othello, which is sometimes referred to as ‘Reversi’ is a game of strategy, the more you play the more you improve. So get yourself comfortable and use your logic and skill to outwit the computer.

Tetris

Tetris is a much loved game which looks easy, but actually can be quite challenging! An assortment of different shapes, each made out of four squares appear. The object of the game is to try and rotate the shapes in order to create a solid wall without leaving gaps. Once a solid line from edge to edge is made the line dissolves and the remaining pieces move down. Points are won for successfully dissolving lines, but be careful as the shapes are released thick and fast so you need to think about your next move quickly! This is a great game to play and is suitable for a whole range of ages, it is seriously addictive - you will want to keep playing in order to make an awesome high score.

Bingo

Games have always been popular as a form of entertainment, with many people making a real event of inviting friends and family over for an evening of nibbles, drinks, and an assortment of games. What if all you want after a long day at work is just some quiet time by yourself? You can still play many games online that are derived from the traditional multi-player ‘real life’ versions. Online bingo is always fun and a great ‘pick-me-up’ at the end of a stressful day. With the same game play to regular bingo, players need to pay close attention to the numbers they were given, to the numbers displayed on the computer screen.  Depending on what you want from your online bingo games you can play for free, or play for cash prizes.

No matter what games you like, the trick is spending time looking through the hundreds of sites available and discovering what works for you and what you enjoy playing. Many sites enable you to play these great games for free and many more, so sit back, relax, and have fun. Happy gaming!

Sending an ecard has fast become a popular and alternative method to sending a text message, an e-mail, and even the traditional hand written letter. There are many e card sites out there, each with their own collection of greetings sorted into various sections to make it easy to search for the perfect card.

What if there were ways to make your greeting extra special and totally unique? Many ecard sites promise exactly that –a chance to create and send a truly unique card for your chosen recipient.              

Here is a hand-picked selection of some of the weird and wonderful applications around in order for you to design a greeting that will make someone’s day.

For the budding artist and designer

Sites such as pencake are online ecard drawing platforms where you can create an online work of art. Simply let your artistic talent shine through by experimenting with the various drawing and colouring tools. Once you are happy with your card design submit it to the sites collection where others can view your artwork.  You can send your creation to a friend, or if others admire your efforts they too can send your ecard design to someone special.

 

The slightly weird!

There are some strange ecard sites out there and bloody finger mail is just one of them. Sites like these provide a few minuets of entertainment. As the name suggests, this gruesome site has a chopped finger as a writing tool and you create a message in blood. A little odd, and probably not the best for those with a delicate tummy! You might want to remember this site come 31^st of October because it is ideal for creating a spooky Halloween ecard.

The photo upload

To really add that extra special touch to an ecard why not choose a site where you can upload photographs of friends and family? The free greeting cards site ecards.co.uk has an application called face it which enables you to place photographs of your loved ones onto a variety of fun characters.   These include can-can dancers, an assortment of animals, and even iconic movie stars. This site is totally free to use, and with many different ecards for a whole host of occasions there is sure to be something to suit every taste and personalities.

 

Encourage a healthy life style

If you want to try and encourage a friend to stop smoking, or suggest that you both go on a health kick then sites like health finder provide the perfect solution. Primarily health finder is a site dedicated to helping you find information and support to lead an active and healthy lifestyle, but they feature a range of ecards designed to encourage and inspire loved ones to stay fit and healthy. This is a great way to give a mate a gentle nudge in the right direction if they need to kick an unhealthy habit.

Build from scratch

Many ecard sites such as buzzle allow you to build your very own greeting from scratch. This particular site allows you to upload your own background picture, (or choose one from their selection)select fun icons which you can place anywhere on the card. This means you are in total control of what your finished ecard will look like. Finally add a message for your chosen recipient and you are done! The lucky chosen recipient is bound to appreciate the fact that you have gone that extra mile on order to create something unique.

These sites are a wonderful way to keep in touch with friends near and far, with many sites free to join and profiles simple to set up, it can be tricky deciding which sites to join.

We bring you a break-down of some of the most popular sites around so you can stay in touch with friends and family.

Myspace

Just like facebook, Myspace is another easy way to share news and write messages. One of the major differences is that you can customize your myspace profile page however you want.

Users are also encouraged to report any offensive content to the friendster customer services.

Second Life

Ok, so Second life may not be classed as a social networking site in the true sense, but is it still a pretty awesome site and deserves a mention. Second life enables users to become part of a virtual world, initial set up is free, but you can pay a small fee in order to have additional technological back up support, or you can pay to have your money exchanged into second life currency called linden dollars. You create an online character and customize your appearance, so this is the perfect chance to really let your creative juices flow. Once set up you can interact and chat with other characters, and explore loads of different places.
