Instead of a “place setting for the table” you could receive a “romantic honeymoon dinner” or a “sunset sailing cruise” as a wedding gift. A honeymoon registry is is so much more personal than asking your guests outright for cash – guests will choose something special that they would like to give you as a wedding gift. Unlike getting envelopes with checks in them at the wedding and leaving the next day for your honeymoon trip, a honeymoon gift registry allows you to know ahead of time what you will have available for extras and upgrades on your vacation.

Many companies that offer honeymoon registries also have travel experts on-hand to help registered couples book their dream honeymoons. And companies such as The Big Day don’t charge a fee for your registry if you end up booking your honeymoon through one of their travel experts.

Hello paradise!!!

Each wrapper is custom-designed and professionally created to ensure consistent and exceptional quality. The designs come in standard and mini sizes, and a variety of styles including floral, swirls and damask. The wrappers are not only fashionable, they are also eco-friendly: each design is printed with soy inks on recycled linen paper.

Bella Cupcake Couture can also create custom cupcake wrappers – a perfect way to bring in your colors, monogram or other custom design elements in order to tie the cupcakes in with your overall design scheme.

Who ever said couture was limited to clothing?!?!

The crown jewel of Devil’s Thumb Ranch is the 2,900 square foot indoor reception room, The Broad Axe Barn. The barn is built from the hand hewn beams recovered from a Civil War-era Indiana barn and features a 25 foot vaulted ceiling, 7 x 10 feet windows and a 2,200 sq. ft. deck with stunning views of the Continental Divide. It’s the perfect venue for weddings or events up to 160 guests. The ranch also offers more intimate spaces for smaller events. The Timber House, with 900 square feet and 240 degree views of the Continental Divide, is the perfect locale for up to 50 seated guests. And John L’s Wine Cellar is a romantic and private setting for a rehearsal dinner or another special meal for 16 guests.

I am absolutely dying to plan a wedding or event at Devil’s Thumb Ranch…. any takers?

Artist Marissa Perry Saints founded Dsenyo in 2007 after living in Malawi, Central Africa. Marissa combined her African inspiration with experience in fine arts, graphic design and international development. The result? A locally-owned company with unique, contemporary styles that offer form, function and durability for fashion and socially conscious women. 

By purchasing Dsenyo handbags and accessories you are supporting community development projects in Africa.  In addition to Dsenyo’s main mission of creating stable jobs for women and artisans, the company also gives 3% of sales back to the communities in which they work.

And giving Dsenyo bags or accessories as a bridesmaid gift is good for the planet, too. Dsenyo makes every effort to use low-impact dyes and sustainable fibers like hemp and organic cotton. They reduce waste by composting organic scrap material and re-purposing African textile remnants for use in other products. Their  “Old for New” recycling program lets you send back your used Dsenyo bag and receive a 10% discount on your next purchase. Dsenyo will reuse, recycle and compost materials in the old purse.

In many ways, Dsenyo bags and accessories are a gift that keeps on giving! For more information, or to purchase gifts from Dsenyo, please visit www.dsenyo.com.
