  • A Brief Survey of Wedding Customs
    For as long as the custom of marriage has been a celebrated human custom, there have been curious rituals associated with them. These rituals, at least concerning modern weddings, include such behavior as the groom providing an engagement ring, the bride carrying a handkerchief, wearing a veil, and wearing "something blue." Even the very custom of the bride wearing white seems outdated to most modern couples. Where did all these traditions come from?
  • Letterpress Invitations: Still Popular
    Thanks to the ABC-TV hit series, "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," letterpress printing is back in style. The Dore family received a new home, constructed completely from scratch, while letterpress printers generously donated a complete letterpress studio to 12-year old Aariel Dore, along with lessons and online assistance to get her up and running.
  • The Tales of Fine Jewelry
    When you think about fine jewelry and everything that goes with it, you might find that your thoughts go back in time! Despite more fanciful techniques that craftsmen in the past could only dream of, there is a certain charm that ancient jewelry could achieve that we find difficult to duplicate even today. The time and patience that went into crafting a piece of fine jewelry in the past could create something that ever hundreds of years later, is still held in awe by the people looking at it.
  • Bridal Registry to Money Dance
    When we think about weddings, it can be interesting to think about them in terms of cultures or customs other than our own. Who knows when you will find a custom or a ritual that is perfect for your friends or family, or when you will discover one that your family used to take part in? One case in point of a wedding tradition is the money dance. Rooted in ancient traditions, is it still a popular feature of many modern weddings.
  • Letterpress Printing Clich
    Johannes Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenberg, famously credited with inventing movable type printing in Europe, was born in 1400 in southwestern Germany. He designed metal movable type, which allowed for the mass printing of any and all books. Movable type was considered a vast improvement over calligraphic, handwritten manuscripts. Its proliferation heralded a new dissemination of information. The spread of this new technology throughout Europe is often considered a major contributing factor to the Renaissance and the rise of nationalism centuries later.
  • Wedding Invitations: Coming Down the Aisle
    Wedding invitations are typically sent about four to six weeks before the big day. They are often ordered from a specialized printing vendor and are typically mailed in double envelopes. Some variants include a self-addressed, stamped postcard, thereby eliminating the need for a second envelope. Bolder variants still simply ask the recipient to RSVP by phone. Ah, how the times are changing.
  • Crystal Gifts: A Surprising Variety
    Crystal is one of the most beautiful materials ever made by man. Those who appreciate the finer things of life owe a debt of gratitude to the first person who conceived the notion that molten sand could ever create something so useful. Glassmaking is actually art. The Mesopotamians were producing glass, by the third millennium BC and the Egyptians in the second millennium. It was, however, quite dear, considered to be on par with gold.
