Bonus points if you’re old enough to realize where this reference comes from!

Every message is special, and a wedding invitation is perhaps one of the most cherished.  When it arrives as a “Message In A Bottle”, it becomes a memory the minute it is received. emotions. Not only will they begin to look forward to the excitement of your unique day, but after the day is over, that keepsake will remind them of you!  

If you’re having a destination wedding at one of our fabulous NJ beach resorts, like Ocean Place in Long Branch, these adorable invites might just be the perfect way to announce your celebration! 

There are a number of ways to personalize each Message in a Bottle by choosing different messages, sand, parchment and ribbon colors, and little accent pieces that decorate each bottle. You can have them all made up and shipped by the company, or you can assemble and mail them yourself, (after bonding with your wedding party at a “let’s put together the invitations!” party.

The company’s founder, Keith Cangiarella, finds his inspiration in nature, and MIB is truly a labor of love.

” I am the creator of the Original MIBs, and all the other products you will find at dreamweaverstudios.com. People often ask me “What inspires you?”.
My answer is simple, “First you sit and watch the sunset, or the sunrise if your up earlier enough, gaze at the stars, stare at the Moon, watch children play at the park, listen to a child laugh, look deep inside,let your imagination guide you, “Find a need and Fill it.” By purchasing one of our products, especially a MIB you most definitely will be brightening someone’s day, and that’s my goal to provide you the consumer with something to add a little shine to the world each and everyday.”

 

You’ll enjoy his site, and maybe think of some other occasions that would be the perfect excuse to create your own Message.  Like a proposal!

I’m in love!

And you will be too.   I’m serious. Popchips are the most amazing food product I have ever discovered, (besides microwaveable pork rinds, but that’s another post entirely, and one I might not want to be connected to….) All of us, (especially those of us who are trying to fit into wedding gowns, tuxedos and officiant suits) are trying to watch our calories and fat grams, but not at the expense of yummmmm!  

 I have borrowed from their website (no one says it better than they do!) to tell you about this very cool product.

Healthier, delicious, all-natural. Actually, POPCHIPS are all that and a bag of chips. How ? Well, first, here’s how they don’t do it. They never fry those  chips. That just puts a lot of stuff in there that we could all do without. They never bake the chips either. That just takes a lot of flavor out, which, as snackers, we simply can’t do without.

This is a chip like no snack aisle has seen (or taste bud has tasted). That’s because we found a way to pop all the flavor in while keeping fake stuff and half the fat of fried chips out. Thanks to the magic of popped.  They  start with the finest ingredients, like wholesome potatoes, apply heat and pressure, along with a little snack magic. And pop! It’s a chip. With an artful blend of all-natural seasonings, we’ve created lots of taste bud-popping flavors. Pop open a bag of popchips™ and try for yourself. Everybody has a favorite. Or two.

This is their  all-natural pledge: no fake colors, no fake flavors, no preservatives, no fluorescent orange fingertips, and no wiping your greasy chip hand on your jeans. No, really. No  hydrogenated oils and msg that give snacking a bad name. Because popchips™ brand chips have no preservatives, make sure to get a good chip clip after opening the bag to keep them fresh….but you won’t need that; you’ll just eat the whole bag at one time.

I LOVE them!  I have them on a subsciption from Amazon.com, so they will arrive on my doorstep every month. Am I nuts?  YES!  Will you be too?  ABSOLUTELY!
