From the same MS Weddings book as the other day, I had to share this page! This is from the favors section of the book, and is called "Give the Gift of Sound."
Paragraph reads:
"At at wedding, our senses absorb the details of the day. These favors celebrate the sense of sound. Place a shell in a mesh bag, and your guests will hear the call of the ocean. Silver chimes slip into an aluminum canister trimmed with scallop-edge Ultrasuede and double-face satin ribbon. A CD of love songs is placed in a cardboard sleeve, wrapped in rice paper, and tied with a woven ribbon. A kazoo in a glassine bag is topped with a folded piece of patterned paper and secured with a brass staple."
What I especially love about these favors is a) the easy part ...... and b) the creative part.
The seashell in a mesh bag is probably my favorite one, and it reads "sounds of the sea" on a sweet little tag. That is probably the least complicated wedding favor I have ever seen, plus it is easy to assemble! Perfect for a beach or nautical wedding.
The wind chimes are a unique idea, and you can even make them yourself. I found some very detailed instructions here. If you're looking for instructions that are less involved and include pictures, here is another set.
The kazoo, while unique, should be used with discretion, especially if your wedding guests include a lot of children!
And finally, the mixed CD. I don't think this favor could ever get old. Music is something nearly everyone enjoys.

This adorable "special delivery" page gives instructions on how to have your wedding invitation postmarked with the name of a romantic city.
The paragraph at the top of the page reads:
"The towns listed below will cancel your stamps for you, imprinting them with their sweet names. Enclose your stamped, addressed invitations (have them weighed in advance for proper postage) in a padded envelope or box, and include a note detailing your request. Address it to "Postmaster," followed by the name of the town, state, and ZIP code (call before mailing). Allow enough time for invitations to be delivered, postmarked, and remailed - ask the postmaster how long it will take."
There is a list of places as well, including Bridal Veil, Oregon, and Harmony, Rhode Island, which were my favorites. After a little researching of my own I found these additional towns:
Love, Arizona (86302)
Sweet, Idaho (83670)
Happy, Massachusetts (02714)
Heart, Missouri (64126)
And for practical jokers:
Hell, Michigan (48169)
Help, Missouri (63787)
These Ice Cube Earrings would be perfect for a fall or winter wedding - They are so beautiful, but were difficult to capture on film! Sterling - $20.
If you are familiar with Etsy.com, you already know there isn’t a gift registry option.
However, you can add items to your favorites for all the world to see. Your guests can go to
your Etsy page and check out your favorites, orwhat you “registered” for.
How to Set up Your Registry
Type www.Etsy.com into your browser. At the top left of the screen, you will see three
links: Login, Register, and Help. Select “Register.” You will be directed to a page to
create your account. Select a username. When you do this, make
sure it’s something your guests can remember, or something easy to spell, such as your last
names combined.
Some examples of usernames:
Jesselisawedding, bondscaseywedding, johnsonregistry
You will be prompted to enter a password. After you register, you will need to check your
email to confirm your account. After this, you are ready to start adding items to your list!
How to Add Items to Your Favorites
The next time you visit Etsy, you should be able to login with your password. Now you are
ready to add items to your registry! You can use the search function on the front
page to find something you are looking for.
When you find something the two of you agree on, you will see a group of links on the left side
of the page. If you want to add the item to your favorites, click on the “Add Item to Favorites”
link with the small heart icon next to it. Ta-da! You have registered for your first item! Continue to do this until you are finished registering.
How to Direct Guests to Your Registry
By visiting the link to your username, which will be http://username.etsy.com (for example,
johnsonregistry.etsy.com), your guests can see your favorites by heading to the “Favorites” link
on the right side of the page. Your guests will be able to see all of your favorites. As things sell
out, the photos will have “Sold” marked on them. Etsy has the option to add an avatar to any
account, so it might be nice to include a photograph of yourselves as your avatar. That way, your guests will know they are in the right place!
When spreading the word about your registry, it will be helpful to provide instructions on how
to setup a buyer’s account on Etsy. Or, you can set up an account for them and give them a
password to take some work out of it. After all, they are shopping to celebrate you!
Although Dress Green is on a moving hiatus, this shop is full of great items for the skin, especially this body exfoliant. Mint and Vanilla Snow Day Scrub is refreshing and moisturizing on the skin. This scent cools and feels fantastic after use. It is recommended to exfoliate only twice a week, so a big jar goes a long way. Available in a variety of sizes. The bride isn't the only one who might want to pick up a beauty routine along the way. There are plenty of products out there for men as well!
This Beer Soap Gift Box by South Pacific Body is a great surprise for the groom. For $13, you will receive two bars of beer soap, scented with citrus basil and lime.
Another fun soap for men is this Roll the Green Dice Soap for Men from Sun Basil Garden. You can pick which bar you would like: 2, 3, or 4. A great hint for "getting lucky" and smells great too, as it comes in the scent of Sea Moss. $3.50 per bar.
