Final DIY project was completed today! I ended up wanting to do chocolates for favors. My sister's friend who is now starting her own business said she could help with the chocolates - we did a buckeye (because I am from Ohio), a clover leaf (He is irish) and then our initials. The funny part is I always carried around a real buckeye for luck, so we just thought this was a cool idea.
The chocolates arrived from Columbus yesterday via my sister so we boxed them up today. They came out looking great. Unfortunately, some of the chocolate (the buckeyes) made a grease mark on the original boxes, which meant new boxes had to be found. My sister's friend actually sent some with us but I fretted that they were too big, and then we could not find liner that could fit either. At this point -I just found tissue paper and then placed them in the box. At first I did not think they looked great, but then with ribbon and our logo sticker on them - they came out really well. I don't want to ruin the surprise for my guest so I will wait and then make sure to post some photos up after the wedding.
But before I head off to bed, I did want to show off the groomscake. My sister's friend also created this! It came out perfect and my fiance who is a huge superman fan could not believe how cool it looked. If anyone is looking for a very reasonable priced chocolates and cake (My feeling is you would have to be in the Columbus area for it to work) - Please email, and I will give you her contact information - she was awesome!
I am off to bed. I can't wait for tomorrow! Thanks for the blog love - A Windy City Wedding and Semi-Hipster Homeowner - You guys are too sweet!
