We want you to have a wonderful and memorable wedding.  And, it’s important to know that this is not related to how much you spend; but, rather, on how to spend your money wisely.  The following are some important tips related to your beautiful celebration:

DATE:  The choice of a Saturday wedding increases the cost of all aspects of your event.  So, pick another day-Friday, Sunday or even Thursday (when royalty marry in Europe)

TIME:  The most expensive events are evening events.  But, people love brunches, lunches, and cocktail parties-all of which stretch your dollar.

PLACE:  Resorts and hotels are the most costly.  Look at local wineries, community centers, rental halls from ethnic groups, etc.  All can be decorated beautifully and made to be an exciting arena.

GO LOCAL:  Support local businesses and you will be politically correct and right on budget. Select caterers and wedding bakeries from within your circle.  Make sure that you buy your own alcoholic beverages and bring it yourself to the reception.  Hire creative companies that support your vision of your wedding, but are more reasonable

ATTIRE : A wedding dress is important and you want to be a beautiful bride; but, it is only worn once!  Look for a special price-sample gowns, local designers, sale items.  There will still be ample selections of gorgeous choices.  When it comes to your bridesmaids-look at department stores for a dinner dress that can be worn again, or allow each girl to select a dress of their choosing in a particular color. 

FLOWERS/DECORATIONS: Use floral arrangements wisely:  less can be more when it comes to costly flowers.  Use your most expensive flowers sparingly and fill in with large amounts of baby’s breathe.  It creates a beautiful environment for much less.  Interesting decorations from balloons to fabrics can add an element of surprise and delight.

WHOM TO INVITE:  Focus on family and friends who mean something to each of you.  Invite people who need to be there; not just who satisfy an obligation.  Smaller weddings tend to be more personal

MAKE IT MEANINGFUL: People really remember weddings because of personal touches that you have created.  Special poems or songs, cameras on tables to catch original photos, and memorable ways to capture this event forever (www.hourpowerwatches.com) are all part of remembering this day.

You finally got engaged and you’re ready to get married.  Now, you’re having a debate about whether or not to have a wedding event.  One of you is not so excited about the time and money this would cost. After all, the whole idea is to be together forever, not put on an extravaganza.

But, there really is a good reason to sanctify your marriage in front of family and friends.  It really is going to be good for your marriage—this is why:

1.     A wedding ritual that includes all the people you care about becomes   meaningful moment to be shared forever.

2.     The couple can palpably feel the love and joy that surrounds them

3.     Their relationship is enhanced by the positive emotions displayed

4.     The “couple experience” their lives becoming entwined with the vows they make and those who witness this event.

5.     A reciprocal bond of support is solidified between the couple and their friends and family.

6.     A wedding is really fun.

7.     Dancing and revelry creates such happiness to be treasured

8.     There is a chance to be grateful and sentimental in a formal way

9.     There is an opportunity to be reminded of your love all the time: http://www.hourpowerwatches.com/.

Transcendent joy is forever part of your special day.  It really is so meaningful and nothing prepares you for how your heart will feel.

HAPPY,  HAPPY LOVER on Valentines Day

OKAY GUYS, Let us give you a little help in finding the perfect gift for your lady. Women want to know you love them and think about them all the time. Put a HourPower locket watch on her wrist and she will swoon with delight.

She can open the hidden chamber any time of the day and read your special engraving of love to herself.

She can see tangible proof of the beautiful couple that you make, when she gazes at the picture that is housed inside the magnified glass frame.

This engraved HourPower watch will be the talk of her circle. It will be admired and envied by all of her friends because her “man” thought enough to give her a gift that lasts forever. There are lots of different styles for you to choose from. So, if she likes the sparkle of crystals or the simplicity of quiet charm. 

HourPower Watches has it all for you.

This is the time of the year that we women start thinking about the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for our men.  We want something unique for our money–something he will use–something that reminds him of our love forever.

HourPower Watches are that special gift that answers all these requests! These unique timepieces open to a secret chamber for engravings of heartfelt messages of love and a hidden picture frame that magnifies your frame that magnifies your cherished picture.  Men love this unique watch and even better, they love to show it off. They love the unique machinery of the construction and the high quality, handsome watch dials.

What could be better than having your man look at the time and know that you were hidden inside? He’ll take a little sneak peak at a quiet moment in the day and …..think about YOU!

It’s hard to believe that January 2010 is marching on. There’s just no way to stop time! At HourPower, our thoughts have turned to love—Valentine’s day is only a month away.

A personalized watch really says, "I love you."

There is no better way to say “I Love You” than putting those words inside the secret chamber of the HP watch and including a treasured picture. Whenever your loved one looks at the time, they remember what is inside and they feel good. Those feelings translate into love that grows and grows as the days and weeks go by.

That’s why, it is a smart lover who takes advantage of the January Winter Clearance Sale at HourPower and snags a handsome timepiece that will be cherished and used every single day. Think ahead and great savings will be your reward.

The engraving said, “To Daddy, The First Man I Ever Loved”. It also included a picture of his adorable little baby named Zoey. Her Dad, Kevin, was simply blown away with this touching gift at the birth of his first child.

He couldn’t stop beaming and opening his little treasure that carried his heart. He was so touched that he wrote us an email to tell us about it. He said that this was a long awaited baby and that he took a month off from work to bond and help take care of their infant along with his wife. It was a wonderful and sweet and sleepless time for both of them.

Going back to work was very hard for him. He missed seeing the baby and holding her and being together with both of his girls. However, the second he opened the gift from his wife, and put the HourPower® watch on his wrist he felt better. He didn’t exactly know why, he just knew he was connected to the special miracle of his baby.

It is so confirming to know that you are part of something more than yourself. It is so charming to be a closet sentimentalist with the secret chamber of his watch. Kevin is a happy man.

Okay, so I understand that you wanted to give her something that

memorialized your love. And, Christmas is such a good time for that.

You just called HourPower Watches because a friend told you about our unique gift timepieces that she will cherish forever. But, it was too late to get there for C day.

NO PROBLEM. There’s still time to get the most unique watch ever created

for lovers to surprise her for New Years Eve. Send in a picture of the two of

you and we’ll produce the sterling silver disc that is permanent forever. It declares your love every time she opens the watch to its hidden chamber.

She’ll be so snowed by your meaningful gift for the start of the New Year.

She’ll probably show her unique locket watch to everyone she meets.

And, of course, talk about her great guy.

Of course, I don’t mean to ignore the other chronographic watches, or

imply that they are any less handsome and unique. In fact, the

“Synchronicity Blue” is one of our most requested timepieces, as well.

I think that it must be the particular shade of blue that we chose for

the dial. Our designer, Michael Hayes, is well- known for his distinctive

choices in the jewelry he creates. And, we all fell in love with this blue

when he selected it for the “Synchronicity”. We thought it made a unique

watch even more special—if that’s possible.

Your unique guy may well enjoy this unique watch with its luscious shade

of blue, as well. He’ll probably thank you for giving him something that

sends a message of love and connection every day of the year. After all,

every time he looks down at his wrist, he’ll know that you’re always

there for him .

There’s just something so special about HourPower’s unique watches
that open to an awesome engraved message and a cherished picture.
Your man immediately knows that you are his.  After all, why else
would you want to be worn on his wrist everyday!  This is pride of ownership
and love in the most personal way possible.

But even more special is when you choose to give him “The President”
HourPower Watch.  This chrono is just an amazing gift.  It’s two-tone
shine of silver and gold, is adorned with a very handsome chronograph
that has all the bells and whistles of the finest watch.  It’s rich brown
leather or stainless steel band compliments the appearance of leadership
and understated elegance that the watch portrays.  Best of all, it can be
worn everywhere from work to play to a dress up event.

We’ve found that men, who own the watch, all tell us the same thing–
virtually everybody notices it.   Then, of course, the best part is that your
guy gets to show it off..  He opens the watch and enjoys the surprise and
comments about this “cool” timepiece.  But, he glows even more when
your picture and message of love is noted in the secret chamber.

It is really so much fun and yet so touching at the same time.
