Wedding Preview

Although we are still at least a year away from our wedding and some key things have not been decided, most importantly where the wedding will take place, and when the big event will take place, I have wasted no time organizing, planning and compiling a folder of ideas. I might have the details figured out well before we actually set up the structure of the event. Lucky for me, I have a mother with many talents, some of her best are in the kitchen. When I was a child I wasn't much interested in backing or cooking but I sure did love me some Texas Sheet Cake, some apple pie and of course some chocolate chip cookies. This year for Christmas Kevin and I got my mom a new fancy Kitchen Aid mixer to replace her 30 year old one. I know she was so glad to have a well working machine again but I sure do have fond memories of licking the beaters of that old guy. I am pretty sure that to this day eating spoonfuls of cookie dough is my favorite part of baking. Well, now that my mom's kitchen is fully equipped I plan on putting her right to work helping me with wedding favors. I am not sure she knows this yet but she will have her hands full, baking and jaring the summer before our wedding. Here are some cute samples of favors. I cannot wait to design our own labels for Sal's tasty creations but I know our guests will be super glad they didn't get a boring tin of Jordan almonds. I cannot wait to actually see all of my ideas become actual items once the fun starts! Thanks Mom!

Thanks Green Wedding Shoes for the great ideas and pictures!
