Following the publication of this article, Mrs. Tourville wrote to us to give us his idea: “at my wedding, I made rings to identify the glasses of wine each. Very easy to make with small colored glass beads and can include the name of each also. This was very appreciated by my guests.
Ms. Simard, also reflects: “to our marriage, we had offered a bottle of flavored oil and a recipe for a family. Thus, friends who loved star anise received a bottle of prepared and original oil, including anise and other ingredients, manufactured by us. In addition, a recipe with a darling of this family product was delivered as for example; salmon, lamb, pizza, etc. Oil and the recipe were put in a gift bag with snowflakes, because it was our theme for our wedding on 13 January. Deposited on a snow-covered table, the bags divinely decorated the room and in the late evening, the guests left with their bags. We are married for a long time and people are still talking about even if oil is often repeated by each”.
