Edible Wedding Favors!

Looking for a delicious favor idea that integrates your color scheme? Check out these cute delectables that were given as a “thanks for coming” gift to guests at a “Pink and Brown wedding” in California.

These donuts came from the famed Krispy Kreme donut shop (YUM!) and were decorated in the bride and groom’s wedding colors of Pink and Brown. To get the Pink they sprinkled pink sprinkles on a glazed donut. For the Brown, they smothered a glazed donut with what else — yummy Chocolate!

To make sure this was pulled off the bride-to-be:

She pre-ordered the donuts about 4 weeks ahead of time with the owner of her local Krispy Kreme store.
She asked if they could be pre-packed in boxes of two. At first they said it couldn’t be done, but the owner called around to her suppliers and found that she could get boxes for just two donuts.
She also asked whether they had the ability to make donuts in her color scheme. For example, they might not always have a bulk of Pink Sprinkles available so ask ahead of time to assure that they can get the supplies needed in time for your big day.

Idea: Display these donuts after the cake has been cut and set them up next to a to-go coffee and hot chocolate bar. Leave some cute white handled bags out for your guests to pack up their donuts while they dash off with a hot cup of cocoa in hand. They will be thinking about the two of you and all the fun they had at your big celebration when they dig into the donuts the next morning or maybe even later that night!

Enjoy!

I’m always excited when I find a super cool product — the BlumeBox fits this category to the “T”. What’s even better… or equally as fab is that this product is eco-friendly in addition to it’s colorful, simple and under $5-buck faboulousness!!!A BlumeBox is basically an alternative to the traditional glass vase. It comes shipped flat and basically pops into shape. It comes with a heavy weight plastic bag that you fit inside the box… you then fill it with water and then with your flowers.. gotta remove those thorns first though.

The creativity doesn’t stop at your arrangement… you can embellish the vase with photos, ribbon, custom labels, vase jewels, etc. It’s up to you and your amazing ideas, girl!

Three Creative Wedding Guest Book Ideas

admin — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 02:46:18 +0000

In years past the wedding guest book was a simple record of the day’s attendees. You know, the 10 inch x 8 inch leather bound book paired with a feathered pen that looked more suited for Ben Franklin’s desk than for a wedding in modern times. Well, the days of simplicity and good ol’ Ben are over. Today’s world is centered around the design savvy bride who’s all about being unique and chic — in every aspect of the big day including the wedding guest book. Here are three unique guest book ideas that are sure to get your creative juices flowing in creating the ultimate wedding guest book for your big day!

The Polaroid Photo Guest Book
Two words… ok maybe three. “Ultra-Cool-Nostalgia.” Who doesn’t remember the super cool Polaroid camera craze of the 70s? Wasn’t it a feat of modern brilliance to snap a photo and within 30 seconds see it magically appear in front of your eyes!!! I know, I know… digital cameras do it instantly… but you just can’t beat the signature white border of a Polaroid. Classic.

If you’re getting all nostalgic inside than it’s time for you to check out the Adesso Albums Polaroid Photo Guest Book. In a few simple steps your guests can create a one of a kind guest book that will last forever.Step 1: Set up a photo guest book table. You’ll need: Polaroid Camera, Polaroid film, Adesso Albums Polaroid Photo Guest Book, and a chic pen (feathers, optional). Step 2: Set-up a sign that lets your guests know what to do. Better yet, have a family member “work the guest table” taking photos of guests and showing them how to write in the album. Step 3: The best step of all — the two of you can spend a few minutes together the next day or while on the honeymoon looking at the photos and reading all of the sweet notes your friends and family jotted down.

Here is a listing of retailers that sell Adesso Photo Guest Books:

The Coffee Table Book Guest Book

This idea is perfect for the bride and groom who are taking it on the road for a Destination Wedding. Try this: select a hard back book that features the location of your destination wedding. Display it at the wedding and ask your guests to sign right on the pages within the book. When the wedding is all said and done you will have the ultimate keepsake of your wedding on the road.

Here are a few hardback books that feature popular Destination Wedding locations:

The Photos of the Bride and Groom Guest Book

Who says your guest book has to be just about your guests? By putting together a handcrafted scrapbook album you not only get to snag the signatures of your friends and family, but you can showcase your personal love story over the years with photos. Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Get out there and get shopping for the perfect scrapbook album. Don’t be scared to go with something colorful. Scrapbook albums come in a variety of sizes and shapes from big to small so you have lots of opportunities to express your individual style. Check out Target and Michaels. for great selections in scrapbook albums.

Step 2: Get to creating each page within the album featuring a photograph of the two of you. Tip: Be sure to leave enough room on each of the pages to allow guests to sign their name and leave a message for the two of you.

Step 3: Put your scrapbook together. Remember to leave the pages outside of the plastic protective covers. Get yourself a few pens to lay beside the album and voila — you’re done.

Creative guest books are a fun option for weddings and create memorable keepsakes the bride and groom will treasure for years.
