Custom Personalized Monogrammed
Custom Wedding Favors
Weddings are joyous occasions for the bride, groom, their families and friends. At such an occasion, the giving and receiving of gifts is natural and highly expected. Wedding favors are the bride’s and groom’s way of telling thank you to all the people who made it to the wedding. It is their way of commemorating an event that plays an important role in their life.
Choosing the right wedding favors is important for more reasons than one. For one thing, the gift you give tells a whole lot about you and your tastes. More importantly, a wedding is an occasion when you can easily make or break long lasting relationships with various family members. So, if you manage to miff Aunt Betty with the wrong choice of gift or give Uncle John something that he positively abhors, you can rest assured that they will turn up their noses at you for the rest of their life. And, the whole family will get to know about the fiasco! So, choose carefully and choose wisely.
These days, more and more couples are opting for custom wedding favors. Modern technologies have made it possible to give away highly personalized wedding favors, without your having to burn a gaping hole through your wallet. You can easily make these small tokens reflect your gracious sentiments during the happy ceremony.
You can customize your wedding gift in a couple of ways. It can either be personalized to reflect the occasion or it can be a personal toast to the person you are giving it to. You can easily order monogrammed items from various online stores. By pre-ordering your gifts, you can get the monograms etched at the time of manufacture itself. This will help you cut costs. Of course, many of the items like stainless steel gifts and jewelry are made in such a way as to accommodate engravings on them.
A new idea that is slowly catching on is to present food items with unique labels. For example, you may order a big bar of chocolate and have the name of the receiver printed on it. You may even get their photograph printed on the wrapper. The same applies to items like mints in containers, quality teas, gourmet coffee and the like. If you do not feel like engraving a name, you may send out a personalized message on behalf of the bride and groom.
Whether you select a jewelry set, a bookmark, porcelain items, kitchen items, curios, flower pots, cards or anything else, there is a way to customize it. All you have to do is tell the manufacturer at the time of your order and they will take care of the rest. Many online shops allow you to personalize your gifts only if you place a minimum order. If this is the case, it is important to place your order quite early so you can avoid last minute glitches and delays.
These days, custom wedding favors are the rage. In fact, it is fast becoming an accepted and expected tradition. The choice of your wedding favor and your decision to personalize it and to what extent all depends on how much money you are willing to spend. Ideas range from the simple to elaborate. All you have to do is fix your budget, browse the selection and place your order.

Help me get started with sewing machine / monograms... what do I need?
I have been spending a lot of money recently for personalized monograms being sewn on fabric for gifts, etc. Usually I buy these on eBay. What would I need to purchase to do these myself? Obviously a sewing machine (what brand/kind?) also is it software or how do you put the monograms on the fabric? also the little pictures? I am assuming it is simple to do and you just need to purchase some sort of template?
I was thinking if I purchased a sewing machine I could learn how to do the monograms and then possibly have my own eBay auction online 'store' and sell custom items.
Please let me know everything I would need to purchase and how much this would all cost. Thanks!!
There are a number of ways you can go about this. Personally, I do any monogramming with hand embroidery. Very cheap, a little slow, a lot of fun. (hint: pad the letters with something like chainstitch first -- gives them a lot more dimension.
Moving up in complexity, any straight stitch machine can do free motion embroidery. Draw out your letters, start filling them in. You supply the brain and handpower.

Suggested knock your socks off reading: Singer Instructions for Art Embroidery (reprinted many times) -- the examples were done on a treadle machine in the early 20th century.
Moving up in both complexity and expense:embroidery only machines can be gotten for a few hundred dollars; I don't know what the limitations are of those simple machines. Home sewing machines that are combination embroidery and sewing machines are often in the $1-5K range. You'll have to either buy designs or softwarer to allow you to digitize your own designs. Don't know much about them because I think machine embroidery looks flat.
