From the day the engagement is announced to the day of the wedding itself, there are a number of occasions where someone may want to purchase a gift. Some people may choose to give an engagement present (especially because some couples now throw engagement parties), and then there may be a gift for the shower, a gift for the wedding – possibly even a bachelorette or bachelor party gift. And the couple may want to purchase gifts for their bridal party, too.
Whatever occasion you’re looking for the prize sponsors for Week 2 of the Goin’ to the Chapel event have items that anyone would love.

| Simply Said Wedding Wall Design |
Appropriate for an engagement party, bridal shower or wedding gift the wall sayings from Candace at Simply Said Designs would make a nice touch for the couple’s new home. I also think they could be very unique shower, ceremony or reception decorations. They have four whole pages (14-17) of wedding design packages.

| Simply Said Last Name Design |
And for the home they have personalized designs of the couple’s name and year of marriage as well as sayings like “Together We Make a Family”, “Be True to the Family Name You Bear”, “A Smile Last a Moment, the Memory Lasts a Lifetime”, “I Gave You My Heart and You Filled it With Love”, and “Together is a Wonderful Place to Be”. All the designs come in a variety of different sizes and price ranges so you’ll be able to find something perfect for every spot in the home at the price point you’re comfortable spending.

| Scentsy DIY Silver Wedding Pack |
Another great option are the products from Brandy at Scentsy Candles. Almost everyone loves candles and that warm feeling you get when you catch the soft scent in the air. Scentsy gives you that great candle scent minus the fire (which, as an aside, makes them a nice gift for college students who can’t have a flame in their dorm room). One item they have that I think would make a great shower gift would be their DIY Warmer with DIY Wedding Theme Packs. Not only is it a nice home decor item, the bride could set it on the head table at their reception.

| Scentsy Bar in Love Story |
If you’re giving as a shower or wedding gift you could also pick something that might match the couples decor, their favorite sport, or their favorite team to cheer for together (go UK!). Then you can choose one of the scented bars to add to the warmer. The Romance Collection or Corner Cafe Collection might be good places to start to select a scent.

| Outdoor Cool & Serve Square Tray |
And of course you can’t go wrong with selecting a gift if you’re choosing something for the kitchen. Everyone loves to eat (they do say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach) and preparing food together is an activity that can truly bring a couple closer together. Pampered Chef in Louisville (delivery US-wide) can help you choose a gift that’s perfect for the couple. Do they like to grill or entertain outside? Then maybe one of the grilling tools or outdoor serving & dining pieces would be a great choice. Maybe they’re bakers?

| Dip Set with Bamboo Spoons |
And for a great wedding present you may consider purchasing a knife block and choosing a couple of knives like the chef’s knife, Santoku, paring or utility knife. They have a lifetime warranty and I guarantee they would be used on a daily basis in the couple’s new home – even if they’re not big cooks. (And if they’re not big chefs, you might want to think about tossing in a cookbook or two and maybe some mixes or spices.)
Our giveaway sponsors have put some great prizes up for this week and I will be posting the entry forms shortly. In the meantime please take a moment to visit them and show them a little support if you enjoy their products!
