Hot Stamping Bags

Reflections on African-American Culture?

My cousin and I were recently compiling a list on African-American culture. Things that were common to Black households as we were growing up in the 60's through the 80's. Like I remember my mother used to keep frying grease in an old Crisco can on the stove. And my dad used to keep his valuables in that blue velvet Crown Royal bag with the gold tassel draw strings. And hot combs and blow-out kits! Those yellow spindles that you had to put in the middle of 45's to play them on your turntable. And getting spankings with those orange hot wheel tracks. A calendar with MLK's picture from some local business every year. Collecting S&H Green Stamps. I don't think we ever actually got anything from that damn catalog!

Anyone else have these recollections? Or some of their own? Hey, you don't even have to be African-American. It should just be something most people could identify with.

you forgot having to be home before the streetlight came on. We always got spanked with either a wooden yardstick (mom) or a belt (dad). Mom used to collect free yardsticks from vendors at the fair that they gave out with business names on them because she would spank us so hard it would break. we had about 12 different pieces of yardsticks in the corner of the kitchen but could never measure anything over 14 inches long...lol

P.S. I'm white

Unique Ideas for a Fun Reception?

I want to make sure that our guests (and us) have a great time at the reception. We have tried to add some "special touches" to have our stamp on the day.

- We have a great 6 piece band playing
- We are serving hot caramel apple cider with dessert (October wedding)
- Instead of traditional wedding cake, our bakery is making their famous burnt almond torte into a wedding cake for us
- We are having a candy buffet so guests can take home their favorite goodies (we personalized bags that say "have a sweet goodnight" with our names and date)
- We are having a cariacture artist so guests can get their cartoon portraits

I am all tapped out of ideas......Any other ideas on things you have seen that were fun? Thanks!!!

Instead of having a traditional photo album you can rent a photo booth and make it interactive for your guests.

Since it is a fall wedding, you could have guests go apple bobbing ... which is another interactive element to the reception.

If fine scotch and cigars are your thing you could hire a cigar roller to treat your guests to the best!
