I like cute. I like fun. These are some fun cookies (or they could be favors) ... but what would be more fun... Get the cookies for the happy couple; buy the Martini glass ... and let them down the OREOs in style. With either a Martini glass full of cheerey liquid or heck,... milk!
Make the happy couple even happier with these yummy Oreos®. Each Oreo in this 9-piece set is dipped in milk chocolate and decorated with pastel sprinkles, flowers and hearts. Packaged in a gold box. A great gift for the newlyweds or as a wedding favor.

Fake Cake for your wedding? Before you turn your nose up about the idea of this new trend, think about it, we have fake teeth, fake designer bags, fake hair and nails, and so on. Isn't everything about the presentation? So, why not go with a fake cake to save money?
The concept is very simple. Fake cakes are usually made of styrofoam and Permaice icing or they can be decorated with real icing. -- Most cakes, offer a spot where you can insert a piece of real cake (there is a slice cut out of the styrofoam) - and the bride and groom can actually cut the (fake cake) and produce a real slice of cake. And, you can have the top tier as a real cake if you like (the one you save for your anniversary.)
For the budget-minded bride and groom, fake cakes are a less costly alternative to buying an expensive wedding cake. The idea is to have an elegant, multi-tiered pretend cake for show while serving guests slices from a real, tasty and inexpensive sheet cake (usual hidden in the back room : )
If you think about it, at most weddings, after a bride and groom take the traditional first slice of their real wedding cake, it's often wheeled away from guests, out of their sight, to be cut up and served on plates. Do the same thing using a fake cake and a sheet cake, and guests will be none the wiser."
wedding, party

Just found the neatest online store (look at the banner ad on the side -- you can get 10% off your orders)... at any rate... pearls for your feet, your neck and wrist. And, they are so unique. Great for dressing up or down. And, I love to talk about small businesses.... the designer Michele began making barefoot sandals, or "Jewels" as she calls them, after returning from her wedding in Hawaii. She had a simple ceremony with a handful of friends and family, and as part of her casual wedding-day ensemble had purchased a pair of barefoot sandals. Although she loved the look of the sandals, she thought the options for classy but affordable sandals were limited... so she started designing her own ... and has grown.....
