Personalize Cocktail Napkins

My friend Ali got married over the weekend and she had so many wonderful and creative ideas. I had personalized the cocktail napkins for our wedding in 2007, but Ali took it to a whole new level. She ordered several different colors and for each one had a fun saying like, "To a lifetime of eating burgers" and "After 439 miles."

So cute and great way to help wedding guests get to know your relationship a little more than they may have before.

Baby Girl Shower Invitations Mix-Match

Recently I made 50 invitations for my sister-in-law's baby shower. We know she is having a girl, so went with some cute girl phrases and poems. We made three different styles since I had a little of this and a little of that in my scrapbook and stationary drawers. Some of the paper was from my own wedding invitations.

 "Thank Heaven for Little Girls."

I love the raspberry and baby pink colors together, along with the foot stamp. Too cute.

What do you think? Also, check out these websites for additional wedding information. They are good to help you find favors and other used wedding decorations. The Wedding Belle Favors is a local business that my friends David and Amy's sister owns. The other is a place (Recycle Your Wedding) to put your wedding decorations up for sale that others might want to purchase for their own wedding.

Love Bird Cake

I went to a bridal shower for my friend Maegan. Check out this cute cake that was at her shower. I guess Maegan saw it on-line at Portland's The Bakery Bar and loved it. It is banana bread with bourbon chocolate mousse frosting. When her BF (who threw the shower) talked to Maegan's fiance about the shower he mentioned the cake to her.

Unique Wedding Proposal

Hopefully, you can read this ok. I thought this was such a great idea for a wedding proposal. An old coworker of mine, her boyfriend came up with this idea. Knowing they were taking a trip to the beach, he created a playlist on his iPod and had them listen to all the songs while driving. Then he asked her to look at the list and look at the first letter of each song. It spells out Will You Marry Me, going down. Do you see it? Thought it was so cute and fun!

Oh and in case you were wondering, they made it to the beach and had a wonderful time.
