Jitters Wedding and Events – Colorado Springs Wedding Planner and Coordinator

I love it when new food ideas pop up.  Check out these cupcake kabobs posted on Cupcakes Take the Cake.   What a fun idea for a party.  I bet they wouldn’t last five minutes. Yum!

If writing thank you notes is not your specialty, make it easy on yourself and send out these photo cards from Cardstore.com …to everyone!   A general thank you is printed right on the card.   No thinking or writing involved.  How easy is that? 

Who doesn’t like ice cream??  Just because you’re having cake doesn’t mean you can’t have ice cream too.  Serve your favorite flavor with these adorable wooden spoons from Paper+Cup.  Personalize them with your names or wedding date.  

Need a gift for the bridesmaids, your mom or maybe even grandma?  How about some super stylish playing cards from Tiffany & Co?   This two-deck boxed set is made in shades of green and Tiffany’s distinctive light blue and is only $30. 

I love this personalized dinnerware from Jessica Rust Designs.  There are several designs to choose from including “Birch Tree,” “Love Birds” and “Love Bug,”and all of them would make great wedding gifts!

Raise the Cake is a new company creating custom cake stands.  If you want something other than the standard silver, visit their site.  This beautiful stand is from their Antoina Collection.

For an outdoor cocktail hour, set up games for your guests to play.  Croquet, frisbee and bocce ball are all fun and won’t mess up their outfits!  A scavenger hunt would be fun too.

Something simple can make a beautiful centerpiece.  These orchids by givingplants.com are elegant and can be given as gifts after the wedding.

I just wanted to share a picture of a wedding cake from a a wedding I went to last night.   The bride came up with the design.  Her colors were pink and blue, and Little London made the cake and matching cupcakes.  I thought it was really cute and unique.

The wedding cake that caught my eye this month is from Venus Cakes.  The cake is lemon with lemon butter cream and covered with pale eucalyptus fondant, pale yellow and white daisies and brush embroidery decorations.  Beautiful!
