Invitations Done!
Thanks to our wonderful Bridal Party, we stuffed and addressed our invitations this past Saturday. They are now ready to be mailed out by this coming friday. As we were needing to save some money we went with something very simple in design, but it also matches the simplicity in our wedding.
We ordered out invitations from Michael's online design service MiDesign@MIchaels. It was very simple to use, very customizable and inexpensive. Of course you could get really creative and go with a more expensive design if you wanted. We would have liked to use a handmade artist for out invitations but the expensive was too much for our budget. If you have the room in your budget Go Handmade!
We also went inexpensive by not using a calligrapher for the addressing of our envelopes. We simply used the clear address labels available from Office Max. Very easy to use and we now have address labels we can use again in the future.
Along with printing out our own address labels, a couple months ago we ordered new return address labels from VistaPrint. Planning ahead (a very important thing to do!) we ordered them in our wedding colors, so that not only would we be able to use them on our current mail but we wouldn't have to order new ones for the wedding. It also saved us on the invitations since addressing the envelops on MiDesign cost a little bit extra.

I also learned today that we did not need to add extra postage to our envelopes because we took out the second envelop that usually is adding into the wedding invitations. Always check the weight of your invitations because anything that you add to your envelop adds weight and you don't want them to not get mailed!

Wedding 101: The New Way to Cake
New trends are always arriving in the world of weddings and I have to share the new trend that my fiance and I are working into our wedding. A friend of ours was at a wedding recently and told us about these cute little cake balls that were around at each table in lieu of having a large cake.
After reaching out to the bride who had these at her wedding only to find out that my fiance had gone to school with the new baker of the cake balls. Christina had changed her career path and was starting her adventure of starting her own business. As a huge supporter of small businesses, this was a no brainer.
These "cake balls" have a much better name: Cake Kisses! They come in a variety of different colors and flavors. We are selecting three flavors, with a plate made for each table in all three flavors. Not only will everyone get a chance to sample the cake but it is less likely for us to have wasted cake.

In putting together our wedding we are striving to keep on budget, be inventive and also to not be wasteful. These fit all three of these categories, plus they taste sooooooo good.
