Love Kate's Top 5 Wedding Cards & Gifts

Couples tying the knot have been on the increase over the last few years with the most up-to-date official figures telling us that well over quarter of a million weddings took place in the UK alone.

Getting engaged? The fun way to
 save up for the big day... 
Not surprisingly at this time of year we start to see the orders rolling in for our Wedding Cards & Gifts. You don’t have to be a mathematician to work out why. With around  275,000 Newly Weds expecting to receive 30 to 50 cards a piece and half as many gifts, that’s a massive 13 million plus cards and around 6.5 million gifts. 

So, before the summer rush to celebrate the big day we thought we’d pick out a few of our favourite Wedding and Engagement Gifts to treat the happy couple.

For Kate's Top 5 Wedding Gifts let's start at the beginning.  The cost of an average wedding these days is around £16,000, so lets get them off to a good start with our No. 5, the best selling Wedding  Fund Pot of Dreams.  The Pots of Dreams are a beautiful ceramic piggy banks that hold a thousand pound coins to help get the newly engaged couple off on their way.

Love Kate's | A card for every occasion...
Next is the Wedding Card they'll never forget. This luxury 3D Pop-up Wedding Card is so beautifully made that customers often use them as part of their floral decorations on the day. Made by paper engineers Second Nature these cards are our worthy No.4. 

Our No.3 is something a little bit different from our range of Wedding Scrap Books and Photo Albums. Newly married couples need pots and pans, irons and washing machines, but what's really important is looking back on that one day and remembering those special moments.

Boofle Wedding Cushion. Just £10.99 at Kate's
Kate's runner up just had to be a Boofle product. He's just so cute and cuddly and an ideal gift, for her especially. This Boofle Wedding Cushion will be a lovely wedding reminder every day. Delightfully soft and made from good quality material you'd expect from Boofle this Wedding Cushion is a bit of a bargain at just £10.99...
Love Kate's Top Wedding Gift 
Wedding Signature Block 
It's been so hard picking out our winner, but for value, for money and originality Kate thought the best of the best are these lovely Wedding Signature Blocks. Yes you did read it right. They're not the traditional signing in book you get at weddings, but a sturdy chunk of solid wood for guests to sign and leave little messages for the happy couple. The Signature Block is crafted into the shape of a wedding cake and will be a definite winner at the Wedding. There's also a special pen included for friends and family to leave a special memory...

We hoped you liked Kate's Top 5 Wedding Cards and Gifts and if you know someone getting married this Summer have fun...

Celebrate Father's Day with Kate

Did you know Father’s Day in the UK always falls on the third Sunday of the June?

This year in 2014 that’s on Sunday 15th.  Around the world this special celebration of fatherhood and the role fathers play in parenting children is marked in many countries by a day dedicated to Dad’s.  Many will celebrate on the third Sunday of June from Albania to Zimbabwe; including Canada, Cyprus, France, Greece, Ireland, Malta, Netherlands, South Africa and the United States.   In Poland it is a set date every year falling on the 23rd of June. 

In Australia and New Zealand Father’s Day isn’t celebrated until the first Sunday of September falling on the 7th September 2014.  In Australia this day marks the first day of Spring.  In Norway and Sweden it’s the second Sunday in November and if you are a Bulgarian Dad then it’s on Boxing Day for you!  

Luckily, whichever nationality your Dad is and wherever you live or celebrate around the world you can count on Kate for a special card.  So whether it’s Vatertag, Fars dag or El Día del Padre where you are, let Kate help you say “Bonne Fête Papa!”.  At Love Kate’s greeting cards are available all year round (unlike the shops) and of course delivery is worldwide.

Kate stocks cards for Dad's all over the world!

What about Mum? In the UK and Ireland Mother’s Day is celebrated on the fourth Sunday in lent so it was March 30th this year but next year in 2015 it is earlier on Sunday March 15th. In many countries though it is always the second Sunday in May, next year this will be May 10th 2015, this includes countries like Australia, USA, Denmark, Germany, New Zealand.
