Personalized CD for the Wedding

February 10th, 2010

When I was preparing for my wedding a couple of years ago, I really wanted to prepare unique wedding favors similar to how I got my wedding jewelry. I thought that I wanted to give my guests a favor that will remind them more of me and the groom.

Since most of my guests were close friends and just some close relatives, my husband and I decided to create our own personalized CD. The CD contained all the songs my husband and I fell in love with when we started dating until the time of our engagement. There was like a story to each song that made it unique.

After the wedding and my guests finally heard our personalized CD, most of my guests gave us great comments on our favorite songs and somehow I knew that I made them part of our love story.
