Aug. 30th, 2008 -- Party On Line (www.partyon-line.co.uk) is experiencing more and more people having themed parties and the growing popularity of fancy dress themed weddings, Party On Line are having to expand and employ more staff to satisfy the demands of their customers.

The company has announced that it can outfit any person or organization, even if they do not have the needed items in stock. As a supplier of fancy dress item, the company is willing to source products that they do not normally have in stock in order to supply their customers with what they need.

Because of that, the company says it is able to satisfy their customers in ways that few internet businesses can.

The company cites their ability to help their customers by noting the help they were able to give to a customer that runs a theater and dance school. The customer needed Disney themed costumes for the entire troupe. Party On Line was able to accommodate the entire cast, in the exact sizes that were needed. The customer was very pleased with the costumes.

They had another customer who was located in Holland who needed help with fancy dress for a medieval themed party for 160 employees. The company was able to supply the costumes, along with accessories for the party. In both cases, the customers were very pleased with both the look of the costumes along with the fit. The customers stated that the items fit perfectly, even though they were ordered over the internet.

Because they are an online company, they state that they can get their products to anyone, no matter the location of the person or organization. They can outfit people in all countries with the costumes they need.

Company that Sells Philadelphia Flowers Expands to Offer Same Day Service, Even for Weddings

2008-08-08T00:00:00-08:00

Philadelphia, PA (IPRWIRE) Fri. Aug. 8th, 2008 -- AO Flowers (www.aoflowers.com) would like for the public to know that they can service their occasion, even if it is at the last minute.

The company states that they have the inventory to service even the biggest last minute orders. They believe this will make things much easier for those who have forgotten a birthday or an anniversary. They offer a large selection of Philadelphia flowers to their customers, and because of their large inventory on hand, they are able to get them out the door the same day. They claim they are the place to go for last minute orders, both large and small.

The company also states that they are committed to the environment, with their organic plants and garden center as proof to that fact.

AO Flowers has cited their service to customers to back up their claim. One of their case studies involves a customer that came in on the morning of a wedding. He needed Philadelphia flowers for the wedding, but had yet to place the order. He absolutely had to have them by that evening. By using this company, he was able to get the items that he needed by that evening, in time for the wedding.

Other customers have forgotten birthdays, and the company has done two things to help those customers. The first thing is they are able to get the order together during the day it is ordered. The second thing they do for their customers is they offer a birthday reminder service to their customers. This is to help even the most forgetful customers remember the birthdays of family and friends. The company states that this service has been appreciated by a large amount of the community. They state that the community is also pleased that they offer a last minute service for orders.

For more information, visit them online at www.aoflowers.com.

AO Flowers was founded in 1984. Throughout the years, the business has become one of the city's premier flower stores for all occasions.

Company's Cubic Zirconia Realistic Enough to Be Declared Diamonds by Certified Gemologist

2008-07-30T00:00:00-08:00

Glendale, CA (IPRWIRE) Wed. July 30th, 2008 -- B in Style (www.binstyle.com) noticed a trend among jewelry companies. The prices were getting higher and higher, and the jewelry was getting out of the price range of many people. The company states that was causing people to be unable to buy the jewelry they wanted. Instead, they had to go without because their budgets did not allow for that kind of spending.

In an effort to produce fashionable jewelry that more people can afford, B in Style started making cubic zirconia jewelry and selling it to the public. The company states that the jewelry looks so good that a certified gemologist thought it was made of diamonds when looking at it with the naked eye. They claim that their jewelry looks exactly like fine jewelry. The only difference is the price. In fact, the company states that no one will even know how much the wearer of their jewelry saved because of the realistic look.

B in Style says that when customers use their company to purchase their jewelry, they can buy quality silver and cubic zirconia jewelry at affordable prices. Because of this, the company says their customers can purchase many more items for less money than they would be able to at a traditional jewelry store.

The company has stated that many of their customers used to be fine jewelry buyers. B in Style says they were able to convert a lot of these people because their jewelry looks so realistic. In fact, B in Style says they have become the primary jewelry outfitter for many people who used to frequent fine jewelry stores.

B in Style also says that they offer wedding and engagement rings at affordable prices. They say that the rings look real, and can save people thousands of dollars. They have an entire line of these items to offer the public. They note that all of these rings are professionally set, and not glued on like a lot of companies do.

For more information, visit them online at www.binstyle.com

About B in Style:
B in Style was founded by Norbert Style, who has been in this industry since 1998. The company has an AA rating with the Better Business Bureau and claims they are dedicated to customer satisfaction and service.

Personal Wedding Websites Cater to Massive Holiday Engagement Market

2007-12-06T05:00:00-08:00

San Jose, California (IPRWIRE) Thur, December 6th -- WedShare.com (http://www.wedshare.com) states that new high-tech trends in wedding planning are on the rise, from online RSVPs to guest address books that build and update themselves. And winter, surprisingly enough, is big high-tech wedding time.

You might not realize it, but December is a hot wedding month in general. While sunshiney months like April and June reign supreme, December is not far behind. But what makes December so big in terms of the Big Day is not actually the number of weddings it hosts; it's the number of new engagements. The majority of all wedding proposals--about 75%, in fact--happen over the holidays. And when today's couples get engaged, one of the first things they do after popping the questions (and getting the "yes!") is popping onto the web.

What are couples looking for?

"Everything," says Jason Melendez, president of WedShare.com, an online wedding website and planning tools company. "Most just want to know where to start. The online bridal market is huge: couples find venues, DJs, cakes, caterers; you name it. Wedding planning takes a lot of research, and the web is research central."

WedShare.com provides one of the first things couples today look for: a personal wedding website, the home base from which to launch their planning. But WedShare.com doesn't build the wedding website for them...it provides a service that lets couples build their own and give it whatever address they like: JohnAndJane.com, for example.

Today's tech has much to offer the busy 21st-century engaged couple. There is a lot of information management when it comes to guest lists, seating charts, meal preferences, and so forth. Communication is crucial between vendors, the bridal party, and the couple themselves. All-inclusive wedding planning services that a company such as WedShare.com provides can count significantly towards making the planning experience fun and enjoyable, rather than hectic and stressed.

Laine and Dave of Seattle, Washington, say "Wedshare has been a lifesaver! We use it to keep all of our friends and family informed of plans and events. We have invited guests from all over the country and we can keep in touch so easily. Our vendors and wedding planner love it too! This was the first and best decision we made around our wedding."

Business is growing so fast, in fact, that WedShare.com is announcing significant overhauls and upgrades to its hardware network and its offered features. To meet the demands of its rising membership base, prices will also be increasing. But to accommodate the large number of holiday engagements, WedShare.com will hold off on the price upgrade until January and offer a low price promotion through December.

About WedShare.com:
WedShare.com (http://www.wedshare.com) was founded in 2004 by Crystal and Jason Melendez, online wedding planning experts, married couple, and authors of "e-Plan Your Wedding: How to Save Time and Money with Today's Best Online Resources". Since its founding, WedShare.com has become a leading planning resource and top personal wedding website provider.

Wedding Website Provider WedShare.com Announces New Music Capabilities

2007-10-13T00:00:00-08:00

San Jose, California (IPRWIRE) Sat, October 13th, 2007 -- WedShare.com (http://www.wedshare.com) announces the unveiling of a brand new wedding website audio feature that will make sharing your wedding planning experience over the web more vivid than ever!

Now, visitors to a couple's wedding website can hear their favorite and most meaningful musical selections, played in sequence and accompanied by notes that scroll in a customized music player. WedShare.com clients have a variety of options to choose from in implementing this new facet of their online wedding planning showcase, including how they want the music controls displayed and what their personal messages should be for each song. Music can be uploaded in MP3 format, and multiple songs can play in sequence.

"We needed a website that allowed us to upload music that George had written himself," say WedShare.com clients Kelli and George of Atlanta, Georgia. "We had hoped for the capability of the site to automatically play the music and load more than one song. [WedShare.com] upgraded the music capabilities to do just that! Our coworkers, friends, and family love our website. We even added a D.J. request box for a little fun."

Wedding websites are quickly becoming a must-have wedding planning tool, and for good reason. They allow couples to post easy-to-find registries, online RSVP's, maps and directions, and many more timesavers geared towards enabling the planning couple to cut down on the stress load and have more fun. WedShare.com, a Silicon Valley company founded in 2004, provides a service that lets engaged couples create their very own professional wedding website without any technical know-how.

"Music is almost always an important aspect of a couple's relationship," says WedShare.com CEO Crystal Melendez. "Think about how large a role music plays in a wedding celebration, and in our lives in general. We wanted to allow this life soundtrack to take center stage in our clients' websites, in an innovative, fun, and exciting way. People are going to love the new music capabilities of their wedding websites, and so will their friends and family."

Wedding Website Provider WedShare.com Partners with Couture Wedding Stationery Designer

2007-08-09T00:00:00-08:00

San Jose, CA (IPRWIRE) Thu, August 9th, 2007 – WedShare.com (http://www.wedshare.com) is announcing a partnership with online couture wedding stationer Custom Invites (http://www.custominvites.ca). Soon, couples who purchase invitations for their wedding from Custom Invites will receive a complimentary wedding website from WedShare.com. Additional cross-promotion of both online wedding companies is also in the works.

The popularity of personal wedding websites is increasing rapidly, and with good reason.

WedShare.com offers a service that lets couples create their own wedding website and have it online in minutes, without any tech experience at all. Soon couples can have all of that convenience for free right when they purchase their invitations.

“I think clients will find it to be a huge value-add,” says Custom Invites creative director Lauren Laba. “Not many other invitation/website vendors are offering special packages like this, so from a brand and visibility standpoint, I hope that this benefits both of our businesses not only in the coming months, but down the road as well.”

Engaged Couples Get Helping Hand From Powerful Online Wedding Website Planning Tools

2007-07-13T00:00:00-08:00

San Jose, California (IPRWIRE) Fri, Jul. 13th, 2007 --Wedding website service WedShare.com (www.wedshare.com) reports that nearly 80% of all engaged couples today use the Internet to help plan their wedding, a trend that is still on the rise. And it’s not just about information, they say. With the boom of the online bridal market, new tools and resources are emerging that can greatly ease the planning burden for today's engaged couples.

"The Internet has created a cultural revolution," WedShare.com president Jason Melendez says. "It has dramatically changed how we shop, keep up with the news, and stay in touch with friends and loved ones. It has also made changes to how we plan a wedding."

According to Melendez, the winds of change are good news for stressed-out brides.

"There are a lot of great ways to save time and money now that were unheard of just five years ago," Melendez says. "Things that used to be time-consuming and dreaded tasks are now fun and enjoyable."

One example is a self-building address book. It is a contact book for guests that actually builds itself, eliminating the hectic job of hunting down everybody's mailing address before sending out invitations. These new guest databases feed directly into the RSVP page of a couple's wedding website, allowing guests to post their event responses, list who is coming, and even make meal selections. Everything is tallied and organized by the system automatically so that a couple can view a simple report and know at a glance how their guest list stands.

Melendez says, "With WedShare.com, we wanted to take all of these great new tools and put them together in one single resource. Now when guests visit your wedding website, they can RSVP online -- a feature that is integrated with your guest database -- and update their own contact info for you."

At the same time, a couple planning their wedding can use their wedding website's planning tools to slice up their wedding budget, get recommended amounts for various wedding items based on their budget, and even get emailed when payments are due. Gift registries are all linked up and in one place, making them easy for guests to find and easy for couples to maintain.

Ernie, a groom-to-be in Baltimore whose delegated wedding duties included setting up the couple's wedding website, found that the integrated guest and event tools became a major cornerstone of their planning.

"The main thing that impressed me about WedShare was the guest and event management tools," he says. "They are very well integrated and impressive. Guests update their own contact information, which makes mailing out invitations so much easier. In terms of event management, you choose which guests see which invitations. So if you have a rehearsal dinner or brunch with separate invitees, this is all taken care of for you."

With their hectic schedules, it is easy to understand how these online conveniences and timesavers are especially appreciated by today's brides and grooms.

"Couples planning a wedding today are older, on average, than those just five or ten years ago," says Melendez. "The average age of today's bride is 28, where it once was 18. Engaged couples today have careers, they're busy, and time is in short supply. Mom and Dad may have traditionally footed the bill, but today's brides and grooms usually pay most or all of their wedding costs themselves."

New Hi-Tech Wedding Planning Book Just Released By Founders Of Wedding Website Service WedShare.com

2007-05-10T00:00:00-08:00

San Jose, California (IPRWIRE) Thurs, May 10th, 2007 -- WedShare.com (www.wedshare.com) is a personal wedding website service that allows engaged couples to create an interactive website for their wedding in minutes, with no technical experience required. Personal websites are just one of a number of tools, resources, and tips covered in the newly released book "e-Plan Your Wedding: How to Save Time and Money with Today's Best Online Resources."

In reviewing the book, the Library Journal says: "Technology has even changed traditional rituals, so this solid guide introducing couples to wedding websites and online planning tools comes as no surprise… the authors take care to reassure technophobes."

WedShare.com founders Crystal and Jason Melendez spent nearly a year organizing and hand-selecting resources to compile into the comprehensive 480-page book.

"It's a complete guide," Crystal Melendez says, "covering everything from engagement to honeymoon. Wedding books are typically either worksheet-oriented or etiquette-oriented. Few provide online resources in any great detail. We wanted this book to include everything, from worksheets and checklists to etiquette, and we wanted to make sure that our readers take advantage of every time- and money-saver available today."

"Many current wedding books include some wedding site information," says the Library Journal, "but this guide goes further."

According to Melendez, 2.5 million couples tie the knot each year, and spend an average of $26,000 per wedding. These 21st century newlyweds are older (the average age of brides today is 27), many have careers, and they usually bear most or all of the financial burden themselves. That means engaged couples are under more time and financial pressure than ever.

Using the communications and organizational power of the web, "e-Plan Your Wedding" shows how it is now possible to take shortcuts that save time and money. Tools like personal wedding websites -- where guests can find maps, directions, hotel info, and even RSVP right online -- are thoroughly covered.

Even the grooms are getting involved. "Technology gives the guys something to do that they can enjoy," Jason Melendez says. "Brides today want their guys to give them a hand, and grooms want a say in where their money is going, though they may not be into flowers and lace. There are ways the guys can make a big contribution to the planning without having to become one of the girls. We're seeing a big trend in the grooms becoming more active."

New York Cruises Now Offers Luxurious Dinner Yacht Perfect For Wedding Parties

2007-04-04T00:00:00-08:00

Brooklyn, New York (IPRWIRE) Wed, April 4th, 2007 -- New York Cruises (www.newyorkcruises.com) is proud to announce the addition of its newest vessel. The company has recently delivered their most prized venue to the New York Metro area: The Atlantis. The Atlantis is a private dinner yacht designed and built for occasions that require special attention to detail.

The Atlantis has the capability of seating a large number of guests on one level with a dance floor, enabling our guests to celebrate dining and dancing on the same floor. Most other yachts do not support this capability, which can create an uncomfortable atmosphere."

Shelly and Don M. recently wrote to the company: "Dear Fred, Richard, and crew: Words cannot express how perfect you made Carrie and Tony’s wedding. Not only was your beautiful yacht a wonderful setting, but also your staff and crew were so attentive and accommodating. The skyline was awesome, especially with the Statue of Liberty all lit up. The food was simply marvelous. Everything was perfect. But the crowning glory and highlight of the trip were the fireworks. You made our daughter’s dream wedding come true. In the process everyone was treated to the evening of a lifetime!"

New York Cruises maintains the highest level of maritime safety. The crew and support staff are highly trained and professional. Bookings for the Atlantis are limited, so interested parties are encouraged to call for details well in advance of their needs.

WedShare.com Introduces New Photo Display Options For A Personal Wedding Website

2007-03-30T00:00:00-08:00

San Jose, California (IPRWIRE) Fri, Mar. 30th, 2007 -- WedShare.com (www.wedshare.com) is announcing their latest addition to a service that lets tech-savvy and Internet novices alike create their own personal wedding website. According to WedShare.com, these features have yet to be seen and will make a website come to life like never before.

With a single click, couples can now turn their 2-dimensional online pictures into scrapbook-quality images that curl and bend like a real photograph. These are effects that even an Adobe Photoshop guru would find challenging to emulate. Additional options include adding "handwritten" notes to the photos, tilting them in various ways, and even stacking them in true scrapbook style.

What does this mean to the engaged couple, beyond a beautiful showcase? According to WedShare.com, it’s another way that the busy couple, who often don’t have the time or know-how to do such digital wizardry themselves, can quickly and easily create a professional online showcase of their big day that will wow their family and friends.

The popularity of wedding websites is increasing rapidly, and with good reason. The convenience offered to an engaged couple, their friends, and their family, is often never realized until the newlyweds-to-be actually have one going for them. With easy to find gift registries, maps, directions, online RSVPs, and even guest address books that build and update themselves, a wedding website can save time, hassle, and make the planning experience a lot more fun.

"I can’t imagine keeping all this organized without my personal website," says bride-to-be and WedShare.com customer Kristen of New York City. "And I have family and friends in three different countries. This keeps everyone in touch, and the savings I’ve had in phone bills alone is a godsend."

According to WedShare.com, even if couples are aware of the huge benefit that this new trend has to offer to their planning, they may not look further because they feel they wouldn’t be able to make it happen on the technical level.

"77% of engaged couples today use the Internet to help plan their wedding," says WedShare.com CEO Crystal Melendez. "Yet, just 34% have a wedding website. We’ve found that couples either don’t know such a tool exists, or they’re afraid that they aren’t technically-savvy enough to create their own."

Features like WedShare.com’s brand new photo editing options, that allow online imagery to come to life with a single click, is just one of the many features this service is offering to help even the most novice web user create a dot-com for their own big day, live on the Internet in just minutes.

WedShare.com Introduces Cultural Wedding Website Options That Marry Tradition With Technology

2007-03-15T00:00:00-08:00

San Jose, California (IPRWIRE) Thurs, Mar. 15th, 2007 -- WedShare.com (www.wedshare.com) proudly announces their cultural wedding website series, part of their service that lets engaged couples share the big day the way their grandparents and great-grandparents would have done, if only they had the Internet.

A personal wedding website allows any couple to easily share things like maps, directions, photos, and gift registries. Guests can even RSVP online. A service like WedShare.com lets couples put their site online in minutes, with no technical experience required. However, an element that has been missing until now, according to WedShare.com president Jason Melendez, is cultural tradition.

"The web is a visual medium," Melendez says. "Different cultures have very specific imagery and colors associated with the wedding celebration. A couple’s website should be an extension of the wedding itself, and that includes the wedding’s cultural aspects."

WedShare.com designers worked closely with couples of varied cultural backgrounds to create the first installment of what they anticipate will be a one-of-a-kind collection of cultural wedding website themes. Couples can customize those themes with their own personal touches and preferences.

Such cultural integration was exactly what Karishma and Ankur of Ann Arbor, MI were looking for when they wanted to build a website and share it with their family and friends. Karishma says, "Wedshare.com helped me design a website that was unique to our culture. They allowed us to design a site that was unique to us. It was the only site that provided so many options."

Those options, according to Melendez, are what more and more couples are seeking. "For today’s brides, weddings are all about personalization," he says.

WedShare.com started the project after they were approached by various couples who were looking to integrate the imagery of their cultures into their personal wedding websites. The results have been an instant success, and continue to grow in popularity.

Ongoing releases of additional cultural themes are anticipated, and WedShare.com plans to continue offering what they see as an overlooked need for many engaged couples today, and a hot trend in the ever-changing online bridal scene.

"Today, the Internet is bringing people together and streamlining communication like nothing else. Personal wedding websites are becoming such a popular trend because they let busy couples take advantage of this powerful management and communication resource."

WedShare.com customer Sabrina W. of Danville, CA says: "What started out as a way to ease RSVP's and save a few dollars on invitation inserts turned into the central repository for everything related to the event. I love it! My big day wouldn't have been the same without it. The designs are great, and the flexibility and ease of use is awesome. I would recommend it to everyone."

The development of WedShare.com was undertaken by Crystal and Jason Melendez, wedding industry and technology professionals.

Online Wedding Website Takes The Stress Out Of Planning That Big Day

2006-11-28T03:17:00-08:00

Marblehead, MA (IPRWIRE) Tue, Nov. 28th, 2006 -- Wedding Window, Inc. (www.weddingwindow.com) is proud to announce the launch of their new Site Wizard, an innovative step-by-step website building tool that allows couples to build their own wedding website with ease and convenience. Couples simply select the features and pages they wish to begin working on. The Site Wizard then walks them through the process of setting up their website preferences and adding content to each page. It is as easy as point and click.

Amy Ruocco, President and CEO, states: “The Site Wizard offers an easy to use, step-by-step solution for those who may be less than web-savvy. Couples can enter and exit the tool as often as they like and the Site Wizard will remember where they last left off. Although our wedding website service was already very easy to use, the Site Wizard goes one step further by providing a means of hand-selecting the areas on which you want to focus. Then, you simply let the Site Wizard walk you through each step. It couldn’t be simpler.”

Ruocco goes on to explain how WeddingWindow.com has also launched a means of including external navigational links: “Custom web links offer a means of allowing couples to link to sites outside of their wedding website without having to create a hyperlink within a web page. This feature is ideal for those who wish to link directly to their gift registry, their wedding venue website, travel sites, accommodation suggestions, etc.”

An important benefit offered by the company is the ability for couples to retain their site as a memory book of sorts via a Keepsake CD, so they can relive the special moments of their wedding day forever. WeddingWindow.com also offers a great set of planning tools, reducing much of the stress associated with planning a wedding by allowing couples to organize all of their wedding details in one place. Some of the available tools are the Guest List Manager, the Budget Tracker, the To Do List, the Invitation Workshop, a Thank You Note Workshop, and a host of other very helpful tools. Most importantly, they include a free 7-Day trial.

Couples planning their special day are encouraged to visit www.weddingwindow.com and explore the many designs and features that are available.

We can seat up to 250 guests and maximum capacity is 300 guests.”
