I have seen a lot of different “count down” items for weddings, child birth, parties etc.  Most of them are electronic or on your computer and while helpful and fun to look at they are not really all that creative.

That’s why when I discovered Big Day Chains I just fell in love with them!  This is a fun (and super easy) way to count down the last thirty days before your wedding (or other special events).  They are very well priced at $14.95 each, made with Soy ink on 100% post-consumer waste recycled paper  and made right here in the USA. They even come with glue dots to transform the paper into “links”.  There is just something about physically taking a link down as you get closer that helps build anticipation.

No worries about how “crafty” you are (or are not) because they are unbelievably easy to assemble and come with extremely detailed instructions for those still doubting themselves.   And if 30 day’s is not enough for you they are more than willing to sell you additional “links”. No need to don’t limit yourselves!

One of the coolest things about the company is that five percent of all profits go to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.  I love the idea of combining something fun, creative and echo friendly with a cause.  I just get a warm fuzzy all over when I think about it.

I also think this would be a super fun gift for any children you plan to have in your wedding.  They are undoubtedly excited and perhaps a bit nervous.  This would be a great activity for them to work on and a really fun way for them to get prepared for the big day!

So go ahead, order one today and let the countdown begin!!
