Okay, this is very clever. Silhouette's were created of the wedding party, and then there was an actual silhouette artist who drew the guests during the reception. This could even be favors. Although, the artist will be working extra hard if you have a large guest list.

Fabulous!

DIY Candy Favors

DIY items are always great for weddings. It saves a ton of money and it can still look very cute. I've noticed that a lot of weddings now lean towards to candy/food favors. Well, I was clicking around and came across Hostess Blog. Even for our wedding, I noticed that a lot of party planning books, such as Martha Stewart stuff, work great for weddings. This one works just the same for weddings. It's a Candy Cone. All you need really is fancy wrapping paper and a stick to hold it up. Click here on how to make it.

We knew from the very beginning that we wanted to give everyone we both love. Of course, it's food. Gummies. I've been searching for the perfect box to put it in. I told Val that I saw that Target had some cute invitations and other wedding stuff. Me and Ira are both trying to find cute things that we can do on our own budget. On Val's day off, she went to Target and found a great box that we could use. It was even on sale! She got us the last 3 boxes. Now all I have to do is create the monogram and buy the ribbon. Oh, and we can't forget the gummies of course.
