Gift ideas for your big day!
Welcome! Hello and welcome to our first holiday gift guide! This is a small sampling of some of the amazing unique gifts out there for your big day! In case this is your first visit to our website, here’s a bit of background about us: We launched QueerlyWed.com in Summer 2009. Our goal was to help couples within the LGBTQ community find queer-friendly resources for their big day. Our vendor directory highlights wedding professionals from around the world, ready and willing to work with Queer couples on their big day! QW also provides planning tips and advice from our community of wedding industry professionals and couples who are “experts” after their own walk down the aisle. We hope you find some fabulous items in this issue! Have a wonderful holiday season and best wishes for 2011! Cheers! Melissa & Stacy Calvert
