As a wedding photographer, I see a vast amount of wedding paraphenaliapurchased by brides and their families (come on - we know most grooms didn'teven know there were "favors" until he's told to start tieing bows aroundsomething). It seems that every retail industry has found some way to getinto the wedding niche. Just put the bride and groom's name onit!

Now, there are the "traditional" items - napkins, cake cutters, toastingglasses, and matchbooks (with "The Perfect Match" embossed, of course!). There are also the newer items that are becoming more common, such as CDs withthe couples favorite songs.

But, brides - and their mothers, relatives and friends - aregetting quite resourceful. These new items range from quite unique to abit fun to amazingly overboard. I'll let you be the judge. Personalized M&Ms, shotglasses, water bottles, wine bottles, chocolate bars, mint tins, keychains, and flags. Gourmet coffee grounds for each guest. Gowns & tuxedos for the champagne bottles.

It's all so darn cute. Isn't it?
