The mother of the bride (Patsy) sent me these pictures
of her daughter's (Kelsey) bridesmaids' luncheon charm
cake. This cake was made by
Delectable Edibles in Dothan, AL. The
ivory
ribbons are charms (the bride) and her flowergirls.
The black ribbons
are the charms for her bridesmaids to pull. Patsy
(pictured on the far right holding one of the
flowergirls)
tells me "the cake was yummy too and the girls really
had fun with it!!!".

How special is this groom? His name is Paul from
Portland, Oregon. He called me and said he really
wanted to get his fiancée a special wedding gift...he
wanted to order a second set of charms exactly like the
charms they had previously ordered for their wedding
reception ribbon pull. He and his fiancée had
selected the charms together. He wanted to make
her a
charm bracelet
using the same charms. I decided to make her
second
personalized card
wishes from him to her for their life together.
For example, one of the charms was a
Magic/Genie's Lamp
which usually means 'You Will Have a Life of Magic'.
For her card (wishes to her from him), the meaning was
'We Will Have a Life of Magic Together'. |

Pictured here is a cake charm order that has the
sterling silver charms for the
bridesmaid's charm cake on
white satin ribbons
and a matching charm bracelet for the bride. The bridesmaid's
luncheon hostesses wanted to give the bride a gift of a
sterling silver charm bracelet with the
same charms and wishes as the charms for the bridesmaid's cake pull. |

Here is an idea from a Maid of Honor in Santa Monica, CA - incorporate
the
Single Lady Charms into the
Bride's Bachelorette Party! |
| |
| The following thank
you card and pictures are from Dara Coslett, a bride in
Gouldsboro, PA. Dara used the cake charms at her
Bridesmaid's Luncheon with a scrumptious-looking
Strawberry and Cream Cake: |
 |
| "Dear Rhonda, Thank
you for your help with the beautiful cake charms. My
bridal attendants were pleasantly surprised - as some
were unfamiliar with the tradition. The charms truly
added to a memorable day! I've enclosed a picture of the
cake. Sincerely, Dara" |

Here is an email note and picture from Jennifer
Feller, a bride in Baton Rouge, LA. Jennifer used the cake charms
during her wedding reception (a long standing Louisiana wedding
tradition). By the way...Jennifer reports the cake was as tasty as
it is beautiful: |
Hi Rhonda, Here is a picture of my wedding cake with the cake
pulls you made for it. My bridesmaids loved them and were pleasantly
surprised by the unique tradition. Thanks again. Please put a courtesy
underneath the photo for Gary Thibodeaux Photography since it is one of
the professional pictures. Thanks, Jennifer" |

How thoughtful in this guy? He had the sister of his girlfriend
help him coordinate a dinner with friends and family. The cake for
dessert had charms for his girlfriend to pull. Each charm was a
statement from him to her about the life they would share together.
The very last charm was the
Engagement Ring Charm, which he used as the "forerunner" to the real
diamond ring and engagement proposal he made to her that night. |

 Here
is a luncheon/brunch/tea/shower, etc. idea from Emily, a bride in New
York City. Her favorite bakery (Magnolia Bakery in the West
Village) is know for their homemade cupcakes. She is going to have
cupcakes for her bridesmaids at her bridesmaid's luncheon. Each
girl's individual cupcake will contain the charm. |

How sweet is this? A mother with a daughter in the 6th grade
ordered charms for her daughter's 6th grade teacher. The girls in
the class are very fond of their teacher and want to surprise her with a
little party to celebrate the teacher's new engagement. The girls
want to give her a charm cake with very sweet wishes from them to the
teacher for her new married life. This sweet mother volunteered to
bake the charm cake for the girls. |

Here is a unique idea from one bride she used at
their Rehearsal Dinner - the cake is a treasure chest that looks like it
came from the bottom of the ocean (notice the sea shells and sea glass).
We used gold and silver ribbons on the cake charms. She said the
idea was that everyone got a little treasure with their cake. |

Here is an idea from a hostess of a Wedding Prayer Shower (they used my
Christian Wedding Charms
to represent blessings/prayers/encouragements, etc. for the bridal
couple) in Georgia. The ladies hosting the shower were part of a
regular-meeting prayer group and wanted the shower to involve prayer for
the couple. They wanted a unique way to use the charms without
putting them in the cake; so, here is what they came up with...the
charms, on the ribbons, were put inside of a Bible (at each scripture
passage represented) to be handed around at the shower. Each
person pulled the charm, read the scripture passage and gave the charm
to the bride. This was each person's prayer/encouragement, etc. to the
bride. After the shower, the charms were placed on a charm
bracelet for the bride to keep. How special! |

The following picture and note is from a
baby shower hostess. She used pastel green ribbons and placed the
baby shower charms under the cake. The charms were pulled and
presented to the mother-to-be: |
"Rhonda, Hello! I'm finally getting around to sending you the
pictures I promised! Sorry it took so long! Amy
loves her bracelet! Her due date is only 7 days away - can't
wait! Thank you again for everything!" |
|
By the way...for the baby shower, she decorated the room with baby
clothes hanging around (so cute!) |

 Ring
in a New Year! A lady told me that each year
on New Year's Eve, her family tradition is to have a charm cake.
Each charm represents the family member's fortune for the new year.
She says everyone in her family looks forward to this each New Year's
Eve. |

Here is a great Birthday Party Idea: |
|
A mother had a "Best
Friends" themed birthday party for her 13-year old daughter.
She gave her daughter and her 5 closest friends
charm bracelets as party favors.
She selected great charms for the birthday cake pull (like the
hand mirror,
high heel, etc.) and
also gave each girl a
Best Friends charm. As each girl participates in the cake
pull, they receive two charms on each ribbon for their new
charm bracelet
- a party favor to remember for many years to come. |

|
Here is a beautiful and meaningful idea for a Christian
bride: |
| This
mother-of-the-bride (Carol - a beautiful lady inside and
out) had a bride's bible to give her daughter (Jennifer
- a gorgeous girl) and she had all the bridesmaids and
other special women in her daughter's life select a
charm from the traditional
and Christian
charms. Each lady selected a memory about or a
wish for the bride. They also selected a bible
verse for the bride. Each lady's bible verse was
marked in the new bride's bible for Jennifer by the
charm on a
pastel blue
ribbon. At the bridesmaid's brunch, each lady read
their selected bible verse and presented the charm to
Jennifer. How special! |
| Here is the email and
pictures from Carol: |
Rhonda,...She LOVED
the charms and it made the Bridesmaid Brunch SO special!
EVERYONE cried, especially when it was their turn to
present their charm to Jennifer and tell the meaning to
her; Jennifer cried at every presentation. She loved her
new Bride’s Bible, too, with her name engraved on it and
the charms (on the blue ribbons) in the Bible. It was
just so special; a way for the girls to express their
feelings to her. I’m attaching a few pictures like you
wanted. Let me know if you got them.
Thanks again so much, Rhonda, for making the Bridesmaid
Brunch so special! None of us will ever forget what a
special morning it was, the day before her wedding day
that she’s always dreamed about, and we thank you so
much for your part in making it so special. It was truly
a highlight that everyone will talk about for years!
Jennifer can’t wait to wear the bracelet and remember
the Bridesmaid Brunch and how special the charms are and
the friends and family that gave them to her.
Thanks to your website, I found you! You are just so
special! You were so easy to work with, so warm,
Southern, and compassionate – the kind of people I like
to deal with! You should move to Destin and I’d work for
you! I love your product and feel it would be a big hit!
Everyone I tell about it, they tear up just when I tell
them about how we gave charms to Jennifer, the meanings,
etc. I love how you type it all up for her scrapbook and
it’s so pretty! The colored ribbons on the charms add
that special touch! You had SO many charms to choose
from on the website and it was so easy to go through in
alphabetical order and pick a charm, and they were such
a reasonable price for sterling! I can’t thank you
enough!! Thanks again SO much!!!! It has been such a
PLEASURE to work with you!! God bless your family!
Love, Carol" |

These are pictures from Jennifer's (the bride) bridesmaid's brunch.
