Weddings are in the News

Posted in Editors Column on Tue 23 Nov 2010

The prospect of the Royal Wedding has certainly perked up the promotions industry and is also predicted to have a very positive impact on the economy in general as UK residents celebrate and tourists flock to London to soak up the atmosphere.

The promotions/souvenirs industry is already on the ball with Royal Crown Derby bringing out designs already and ASDA had mugs on sale within days of the announcement.

But news of weddings of another sort caught my eye in the media recently. With lots of hotels and other venues offering cut-price weddings in these cash-strapped times, McDonalds (Hong Kong) has entered into the market offering weddings and receptions in–house (or should that be ‘in-restaurant’!)

The service is due to start in January 2011 and will surely spawn a whole new collection of McDonald’s memorabilia: the burger shaped wedding ring, a bouquet of fries, the big M on top of the wedding cake!

What next? Answers on an email please.
