Back in April, I featured Nikki’s awesome navy and white wedding invitations.  Well, Nikki’s wedding took place over Memorial Day weekend (Congrats Nikki!) and she’s back with a few of the lovely details from her wedding!  Nikki decided to incorporate a dessert bar into her wedding reception, so she created a tiny cookbook full of family recipes to give out as favors as well as corresponding signs and labels for each dessert.

From Nikki:  I designed these cute little 3″ x 4″ 12-page cookbooks as wedding favors, which were placed at the seat for each guest at our reception.

Along with the cookbook each guest received an empty box that had a small note telling them to go to the dessert bar to try any of the recipes out of the book.

On the dessert bar itself, I designed tags to go on each jar or to stand as signs.  Each dessert was given a clever name, like “Mother of the Groom Chunky Chocolate Chip Cookies.”

There was a big sign placed in the middle of the table that tied it all together with the cookbook that also read “Love is Sweet”.

 

We made TONS of desserts for everyone to try, but people loved the concept so much that we were out of everything two hours before the end of the reception!  Everyone was talking about how cute it was and asking if we had extra cookbooks for them to take home.

Don’t forget to check out Nikki’s blog for a full list of desserts (and recipes!) as well as some additional how-to info.  Thanks Nikki!
