Do-it-yourself tips to affordably personalize your bridal favours

This is it! You're getting married. It's special. You're different from other couples. So why should your wedding look the same as theirs?

Many couples are personalizing their wedding with do-it-yourself tools for a unique look that is also cost-effective and time-efficient. Recognizing this desire, HP is announcing the "HP Signature Style Wedding Contest," where one lucky couple will win a Signature Style kit to help them create their perfect wedding.

The kit, valued at approximately $4,000, includes state-of-the-art digital photography and printing devices, the artistic guidance of a creative director and a digital photographer to capture magic moments (more details below).

"The desire to personalize one's wedding is today's hottest bridal trend," said Carley Roney, editor-in-chief of TheKnot, the nation's leading online wedding resource. "No longer satisfied with the ‘cookie cutter wedding,' today's distinctive duos are tailoring the look and feel of their weddings to their own personalities, passions and heritages.

"For example, one couple who fell in love in college after meeting in an astronomy class used the constellations as their wedding theme. They put stars on their invitations, planets on the place cards, named each table after a different constellation and gave toy telescopes with a place for a photo as a wedding favor."

"You don't have to be a professional to create and customize your own wedding materials," said Kathy Stromberg, vice president of marketing, HP Imaging and Printing Group. "HP's solutions are easy to use and work well together so virtually anyone can enhance their life's events and individualize them in an affordable way."
