A Wedding Thank You Card – Melissa and Evan from Mississauga ON
Posted: May 17, 2011 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment »
For Melissa and Evan, a wedding in the tropical oasis of the Riviera Maya, Mexico could not have been more unique. The couple love to travel and thought it would be a great opportunity to ‘force’ their family and friends into a big vacation! And to show their appreciation to all their guests for making the trip to be there with them on their special day, they greeted everyone with personalized welcome bags/survival kits upon arrival.
A gentle ocean breeze, a mariachi band , and a glorious sunset became an illuminated backdrop of pink, orange and lime green for the reception held on the pool deck. Guests soon forgot the familiar cold Canadian Christmas they normally have! ! Melissa conceded, that in any other circumstances, the compilation of those colours might be considered tacky, but in that setting, it was absolutely perfect.
As a special added touch, guests were treated to indulgent cigars, and pashminas, in case they felt a chill into the evening hours. The wedding was so personalized and intimate that everyone felt truly appreciated and loved their time in Mexico!
The Bride’s special memory of her wedding day -
We had a junior bridesmaid. She was my 7 month old niece who was walked down the aisle by my sister. She stole the show on the day and looked like an absolute angel in her dress!
Melissa’s advice to future brides -
Do destination! It is easier to plan, cheaper and waaaay less stressful than a regular wedding! We were assigned to a wedding coordinator at the resort who planned everything for us. Her name was Ana and she made our wedding everything that it was and more!
Why CQ Cards?
I liked the treo design with CQ Cards the best. I liked the prompt response and ease of ordering the cards online. Photos were the most important and having them layed out in a way that was visually appealing. The square card is very elegant and I think that having the option to have the name printed into the card is a great personalized touch. They look beautiful and I am excited for the response from the recipients of each card!
