Cupcake Weddig Favors.

If you know me personally, you know that my obsession for cupcakes is BEYOND unhealthy. If the MR. knows I am upset, his first resort is the cupcake, and while we don't make them very well we always know where to go for the perfect cup-o-heaven. So it was a natural decision that we wouldn't have a traditional wedding cake and "go big" with a cupcake bar!

So the next logical step was to do a "Mrs. Elle and Mr. Elle Wedding Cupcake Mixes" favor. We were thinking we would buy these custom boxes, and place an addition label on the boxes that explains how to make the special day cupcakes on the later date of the guest choice, therefore reminding them of our special day...

It will say something like...
Step 1. Mix one cup of love (1 Cup of water)
ect.



{But I loved these boxes because they are in the shape of a wedding cake and people can just pick them off as they go! What do you think... ps. they will be in a different color, and possibly with different ribbons, but I really like the designer So Inviting.}

{I am also kinda crazy about this boxes from Nashville Wraps.}

What do you think?

Wedding Arrival Gift Bags.

I am having somewhat of a destination wedding. Well, its more everyone is coming to me, but I thought since all my friends and family are traveling to my city and my wedding I could equip them with the bare necessitates. Here are some of my ideas... them me know what you think. I was thinking I could have a goodie bag waiting for them in the hotel room.

Wedding Favors!

Ryan Here...

So first off I would like to tell you all how much I am obsessed with baking. Most of the girls I know have given me the nickname Izzy (i.e. Izzy Stevens from Grey's Anatomy). For some reason I find baking helps with my stress levels from work and men. I have a knack for attracting taken (mostly married) men. Baking really just relaxes my soul :) Hopefully that will let you gain some insight on my passion. I have been emailing Elle some ideas for wedding favors and came across the cutest array of cupcake mix boxes from Beau Coup's website. More favor ideas to come! I am always up for anything sweet!

Peace and Hugs,

Ryan :)
