A wedding gift you must check into

Hands down one of the neatest event ideas I have seen.

Sheila Kurtz is a master graphologist who assembled a team of graphologists, psychologists, computer programmers, and more to form graphology consulting group. This company analyzes handwriting. Sheila has spoken all over the world, analyzed for a variety of events, and was even called in to help the New York Jets communicate better.

I just recieved my writing analysis, and the easy to read report described me perfectly. Also, it noted some possible things that may benefit me in the future. My report revealed insites into my thinking patterns, imagination, goals, achievments, and emotions. Personally, I am a very skeptical person about pretty much everything, but the proof is in the pudding. I recommend this idea to anyone looking for unique wedding ideas, event entertainment, or their own use. Click here to get more information about this unique wedding idea.

Fun lemonade stand wedding bar


Surely, one of my very first mobile bar experiences had to be the time I set up a lemonade stand, for my mother's big garage sale back in the late 80's. As a way to make a few extra nickles, I created a well equipped umbrella shaded, fresh lemon packin, only 5 cents a serving, lemonade stand. What fun it was to create that advertising sign, "Made in the shade and stirred with a dog's hind leg". Some of you may not have had the chance to do this as a child, but either way, you have probably seen or visited one.


This was the source for one of our mobile bar creations last summer. Our version featured a little more than your typical non-alcoholic lemonades, but you can make it work both ways. We started off with a 4' table and covered it with a disposable yellow plaid table cover. Next, we filled a huge glass vase with fresh cut limes and strawberries. Just behind the bar area we placed a huge shady umbrella over the entire table, sat our bartender in a chair, and put him to work behind the blender. Ofcourse, we topped this all off with a custom sign that you can view above. If you need a custom designed bar idea for your event be sure to give BarBop.com a call.

Wedding bar drab or fab?

Your may or may not want your wedding bar to be the focal point of your reception. Most couples will state something like "make it classy" or "I want elegant" when imagining their bar, no matter how much attention they want it to bring. It's very easy to add "curb appeal" to your bar with or without a budget.


Big budget weddings can employ any number of items from large center peaces to custom built bars. Some companies, like BarBop, offer custom designed light bars, high bars, and more. Also, many rental companies can supply you with alternative designs. Another idea is to offer an ice bar like the ones from SpecialtyIceCarvings.com. The possibilities are almost limitless these days with so many new styles of wedding vendors competing for business.


Ofcourse adding the features above are nice, but what if you don't have that kind of budget? No worries, it's easy to snazz up low budget bars as well. Adding a floral design with height is a great way to put life into any bar. Also, you can use what you have. For example, if your serving wine all night, don't just keep the extras in a box and wait for them to be used. Line the bottles up along the front of the table. The bar to the left used unopened wine bottles and a simple large vase filled with limes to add a nice touch to the front. The rear table used a simple wooden slab stacked on 2 evenly cut oak stumps.


Either way you look at it, snazzing up a wedding bar is easy and there are numerous options available. Some simple points for any bar design are to leave a clean center area for guests to get drinks and keep items organized throughout the night. You want the bar to look nearly as good as it does at the end of the night, as it did at the start. If you have some great wedding bar tips or ideas please post them below.
