Gift for BM!

The little pear is cute, but I can't see spending almost $150 on place card holders. I hate the card though.

Personalized mini cheesecakes!

Pear candles

Pear cookie cutters - would go with the baking set!

Tea in the welcome bags would probably be a nice touch

Wedding Dress

DIY girls ROCK!

I found all kinds of goodies over at Beau-coup.com

They have everything on their site 15% off for another 2 days, but I'm not sure how attached I am to any one particular thing. Some of them are wishlist, some of them made me think of other brides on here, and some I might actually purchase! ;-D

The one that made me fall over laughing is the main picture - Mini Personalized cheeesecakes! In three gourmet flavours! Minimum order of 6 in each flavour. Price? Why, only $24 EACH!!!!! WTF?!?! SERIOUSLY. Who does this?? Can I go to their wedding please?

I saw these cookies and thought of the really cute decorated fortune cookies that people have diy here. Why pay $5 per cookie? They are pretty, but it could be accomplished way cheaper!

Another of my "I can do that better!" thoughts. This favour is a little pack of cookie mix/muffin mix. I KNOW that I can pull it off for less than $5-6 each! A little jar of baking mix (either make it yourself or buy the muffin mix packages at the grocery store and distribute them into jars) and a cute measuring spoon. Maybe I'll add something like this into the welcome baskets for people to take home after the wedding.

I've also found a great reception addition: Pear Cider! There are mini bottles that you can get from favor stores (as in the picture). There are also large champagne-style bottles that look really nice and you can get them at IKEA! Interestingly enough, the full size IKEA bottles cost the same as the mini favour bottles...hmm...
