Cake Toppers

I'm not even sure what my cake would even look like yet... but I adore these little cake topper figures:




the colors/styles (for hair, eyes, flowers, clothing) are customizable too.  I think they are awesome!

Invites

We're way ahead of the game on this one... While browsing around a store we saw these "print at home" invite kits and immediately we were sold.  They are simple, classic, and just what I was looking for.

What the invite would look like closed (rush job with a piece of ribbon I just had lying around):

Opening the invite:

Here's an example that was inside the box so you see what it would look like printed:

And boy do I love ebay... after I came home with the box of invites I hopped online to see if I would be able to find the invitation kit cheaper.... and I did! I was able to find them for less than half the price I paid at the retail store! So I ended up buying (3) boxes of the invites from ebay and returned my original purchase to the store.

The printing of the inserts, ribbon tying, and addressing won't start until February/March-ish though.  Just glad I got this decision out of the way!

Guest Book

Just browsing around some sites and thought these were cute ideas for guest books. 

When I think of traditional guest books, I wonder what people do with them after the wedding is over? At most of the weddings I've been to, it seems like the guests just sign there name rather than write a message.  I personally don't want 2 pages of a book filled with signatures... but do want to have some kind of memory/record of all those people that traveled near and far to come celebrate the wedding day.  In comes Guest Book Trees.  I think it's a creative and unique approach to the guest book and something that I would love to hang up on my wall afterwards.

Fingerprint Tree. 

Folks would place their fingerprint along the branches and sign their name underneath.  With about 100 fingerprints it would look like a full spring/summer tree.  Of course there would have to be wet naps for people to clean their fingertip afterwards.

  Leaf Tree.

This is another example that would not have to deal with ink pads.  In this case people would put their name inside the leaf:

Just brainstorming...
