Q :: A bride recently asked me what are some of the most creative, out-of-the-box, COOL wedding things I've seen? Here's my top 5. Weddings are a multi-BILLION dollar industry, what will they think of next?!
1. SPY PEN!I heard about this nifty gadget at our Invitation Showcase during our Wednesday Night Workshops series at the cafe. Stacey Shiroma, owner of Emi Ink, answered a question that a detail-lovin' bride asked... "How can we have the reply card correspond with our excel guest list spreadsheet without looking super tacky with a hand written number printed on the back?" Stacey smiled and said, "Simple, get a SPY PEN." Check it out brideys. You can play Inspector Bride-Gadget with this pen since the ink is INVISIBLE, and can only be seen with a nifty UV light. Mark away people!

Check out this adorable mug that allows you to keep organized while sipping on your morning brew. Mug comes with a mini pencil to check off or erase your to do list daily. CHECK!

MY "SOLE"MATEStilettos are now A-OK for you and your entourage, even though you may be skipping down the aisle at the Halekulani's garden ceremony site, the Ko'olau's 18th green, or the lush backyard at The Bayer Estate. This genius attachment was created to fit snugly on any high heel, giving you more surface to walk on WITHOUT sinking! Bye bye wedges, hello kitten heels. You'll be saying I do to your "soul"mate, while thanking your "sole"mates!

You can customize these stickers and use them at your wedding reception to deck out any ballroom wall. Peel, stick, enjoy! These stickers are easily removable and won't take off any paint - promise! Stretch your imagination and get creative... we're making one that says "BRIDEZILLA IN THE HOUSE" for the cafe walls. Love it!

Match the candy bar wrapper to your theme and color and VOILA - a total crowd pleaser. While Hersheys are the candy bar of choice for these edible escort cards, go wild and use a Kit Kat or Krackle. After all, this WILL be the talk of the wedding!
