Wedding Cakes that define YOU!

Every time I plan a wedding, I see more and more couples wanting unique Wedding Cakes or Groom cakes. Traditionally the Groom's cake was the unique one, but lately, I have seen many Wedding Cakes that are very unique and non- traditional. Whether it be a traditional wedding cake to a pie bar for the Groom; make sure that the cake is something you love, not what pleases everyone. The guests at your wedding already knew before the day was set, that they wouldn't miss celebrating this big day with you; they do not RSVP based on your cake selection! It's great to hear guests say,"The Wedding was so Them,"meaning that the wedding was about you as a couple! Here are some ideas that are out of the box; and some that are still traditional, but please make it a choice of you, as a couple!

Cupcakes have become a big trend and I love the way this cupcake tower is decorated! You can use flowers that you love or match your theme to stuff into the cupcake tower!

This couple wasn't very big cake people and decided to go with a rice crispy cake!

This cake is just beautiful! It is a some what traditional cake, so this would be great for a traditional or elegant couple. Or if a bride has a dress similar and loves it so much, she would like to match it; then this would be a great idea!

What about a cake pop tower! This would allow for a variety of cakes and easy for guests to pick out their own!

Mini Pie Wedding Cake! Great for couples who are more pie fans, than cake fans!

Match your hydrangeas and roses with this beautiful wedding cake!

How about a brownie wedding cake! This is good idea for the brownie lovers and a good way to cut costs!

I like this set-up, do one two tiered cake and have different smaller cakes with them. This would help save costs, as well, because the smaller cakes can be made in less layers of cake than a traditional wedding cake!


There are so many different cake choices, filling choices, and design choices; and this post was to encourage couples to make decisions that represent the couple!

Bachelorette Party Invitations!

I have a friend with an upcoming Bachelorette Party and it got me thinking about great Bachelorette Party Ideas! Here are some great invitation ideas for the Party Bride and the Not-so-Party Bride!

Start out with a good direction with the Bachelorette Party. Decide whether you want to do a weekend trip to the beach, a spa party, a night out on the town, a pole dancing class, or a girls night in! Schedule these things based on the Bride's personality!

This invite is a DIY! Do a small card print for the inside of the invite with the details of the event.
Buy thick 8x11 pink paper and fold the ends of the paper to the center. Cut silhouette and punch holes for the ribbon and run it through like a corset!













This is a cute idea to do a Night In Bachelorette Party. Adding the invite to a cutting board is a great idea! You could do a cooking theme, and have a chef come teach a cooking class, or if your bride is a wine drinker; you could do an invitation with a wine bottle on it and add the cutting board for a wine and cheese party!

This invite is really great for a Beach Weekend Bachelorette Party! Wording is "Bride's name," is dropping her anchor and tying the knot!

Playing Card idea for the Vegas Bachelorette Party!











Love this for a Spa Bachelorette Party! You can either stay in and have your own Spa Party or have it at a Spa. A Spa Bachelorette Party is really good for the destination bride, when you are not familiar with the area!











Cute wine party invite and can be done in many colors! Order these from Etsy!











I like this idea, if you are going on a night on the town, but another way to use this invite for the Not-so-Party Bride; is have a stay in dance party. With all the dance games for game consoles, this is a cute idea!!

The new trend for Bachelorette Parties is Pole Dancing! This is fun and a great workout! So PLEASE plan this at a licensed Fitness Center, not a bar!!! This invite is really cute with the quote "Come and wiggle and giggle!"



You can go with just a simple invitation, as well; but the invitation is really important if you are the person planning the party and there will be ladies there that you are not in communication with; because the invitation is what sparks excitement for the ladies to attend!
