Wedding Favors & Gifts in Alexandria

I love Shira Sela's art (http://www.shirasela.com/) and thought it would be wonderful (lovely, unique) to have wedding favors with her images. I got in touch with Shira through her website and asked if it would be possible to have invitations and wedding favors (magnets) with her images (we chose our favorites). She was very accommodating, and we could arrange for all these through http://www.zazzle.com/ Our friends loved the invitations and magnets (and many commented that these were their favorite "favors" since they could remember--we just put out a tray with the magnets at our party and let people choose their favorite one, or two, or three, or more magnets). Shira is very talented and a wonderful, warm, and sincere person. This was a great choice for us.

When COVID-19 forced us to cancel our large wedding in favor of a family-only backyard ceremony, we wanted to find a safe way to have cake and champagne outside with our bridal party. We thought individually wrapped cake pops would be a good compromise. I’d ordered cake pops from Alexandria Cake Pop Company once before for my friend’s baby shower and they were a hit, so I didn’t blink before turning to ACPC for this occasion. One of our guests told us “That was the best cake pop I’ve ever had” — and I agree with her! Beyond quality, ordering from ACPC was so easy and quick. The team was incredibly responsive, creating custom cake pops based on the color scheme we chose for our wedding. With mail and direct pick-up options, we knew we would be able to get our order on time. They also checked in a few days after the event to make sure everything went well. If you’re struggling to find a beautiful, delicious, and safe dessert option in the age of COVID — or frankly, anytime — ACPC should be your first stop.

Individually wrapped cookies for our hotel bags helped add a local touch as well as welcoming gift. Not only a gift for our guests but to give exposure to one of the charities we support. They will also do custom labels on the cookies if you deliver ahead of time. Got great responses from our guests and was smart enough to grab a few extra for ourselves. Will be getting more for future gift giving occassions.

Local chocolate store for our favors bag! 1" squares to go with other items (Meeples and dice) coordinated over email, then stopped by the shop to pick up on the day I needed them - all individually wrapped.

My overall experience was amazing! Angie was extremely helpful and very responsive throughout the design process. Our album turned out beautifully, I’m very happy with the design team snd the attention to detail they provided.
