Labels:

Did you find the perfect gift? A piece of antique jewelry for your maids? Special fancy lotion as a thank you in advance? Stick a label on the box or container and you have a unique way of asking them to be part of your day. I'm sure you could also DIY a label. Here's a cute one from Tie that Binds.

Cookies:

Who doesn't love a yummy cookie??? Get to your maids through their stomachs. It would win me over in a heartbeat. I rarely turn down food. Especially these sweet treats.

Wedding Menus

Whether you have a menu of heavy hors d'oeuvres, a full buffet, food stations or a passed meal using a menu to inform guests of their options is a great idea. Here are some fun menu ideas!

Domestic Destination Weddings

Destination weddings don't necessarily mean weddings in Bali or Italy (though both of those locations are fantastic!). You can create a fantastic destination wedding right here in the United States. A domestic wedding can really help your guests afford traveling to your wedding site enabling them to use airline miles, find cheaper flights or hop in the car for a road trip. Here are my favorite 5 domestic destination wedding locations!

Amazing DIY Invitations

My sweet friend Jannah is incredibly talented. She is a writer by trade, but has an awesome natural talent for graphic design. Her sister-in-law's wedding was this weekend and I want to start sharing a little bit over he next week or so. She created and designed the following invitations. Ah-mazing! She researched and labored over the perfect paper to use. She made sure the bride-to-be loved every detail and was completely happy with the final product. I'm a proud friend and really think she should go into business!
