TUESDAY!!

YEA Random Tuesday!!  So, I don't have much time for a suggestion today, so I'm going to keep this a little short.  I need to catch a very large plane tomorrow morning. ;)

My suggestion today is more for Betsy.  And it's cupcakes for the wedding cake.

And now we wait to see when Betsy sees this.  (Please still pick me up from the airport!!)

Tuesday Randomness!! (Save the Dates)

Okay, so it isn't Tuesday.  But I have an excuse.  It involves electricity to run an internet router.  And by involves, I mean it lacks involvement.  :)

So this week's idea is about the save the date cards.  Some ways to do unique things with these would be to include little games on them.  You could do a crossword that hints at important parts of the wedding.  Goom's name, bride's name, month that comes before July, etc.  Or you could do a word-find.  It would be different from other save-the-dates, and could be whimsical.  Of course, for the party poopers on the invite list, you'd want to include all the necessary info on the back.  But you could make it tiny and force them to find magnifying glasses. ;)

Random Ideas (Floral Stuff)

Yea, Random Tuesday!!  Tuesday Randomness!!  (I need a better name for this...)

So for my second random idea, I have an idea for the aesthetic of the wedding party (more for the ladies).  Instead of flowers, we could carry brooch bouquets.  One of my sorority sisters did this, and each bouquet was made to reflect the bridesmaid who carried it--with colors and styles, etc.  It isn't too difficult to make it (how-to linked here).  But it seems that the more difficult thing would be finding all the brooches... 

Just a quick shout out to my sorority sister who did this (one of the classiest women I've ever met, btw--very Audrey Hepburn...similar to someone else I know...), her blog has lots of pictures of the bouquets made for her wedding and three can be seen in the picture linked here.

And for the record, I have already told Amalie that some of my random ideas (this one in particular) will probably be something I very seriously consider when/if I get married.  So she's already agreed not to get mad if I do some of the ideas I post here (like this one).  It's on the Intarwebs so it is documented FOR-EV-ER. ;);) :):)
