donuts and burgers?! Yes please.

What are your opinions on not giving out favors? I am thinking maybe no favors, and instead getting these (or maybe the orange ones to go more with the color theme) and having the guests greeted by waiters with trays of them when they arrive at the reception. (sneaky idea: this will give them something to drink to hold them off going to the bar for at least a few minutes )

So what do you think? Tacky to skip the favor or something the guests won’t notice?

Is what I am hoping for for my wedding day. And I would like it to look something like this:

The picture was found here, but was pulled from the NEW Martha Stewart Weddings which comes out…. TODAY! I need to go find it

Today feels like it should be Friday.

The guy down at the cart hasn’t shown up yet. Bye bye Vanilla delicious coffee, hello gross office coffee.

Today also feels cold. 

I love Martha Stewart. She knows how to make a table pretty. Exhibit A: 

Holy Moly it is pouring outside. Happy Monday

Love the use of balloons as decorations! Check out the rest of this wedding here.

I love this seating arrangement. This way, everyone is sitting with everyone. I never did understand the whole sweetheart table thing.

On to vendor two from the event last night. (Re-cap if you are just joining me, my good friend Lauren is engaged to an event sales manager for a catering company, and he got us into a ‘The Knot” sponsored vendor event last night)

This vendor is one of those “oh, if i had the money….” vendors for me. Lattes on Location.

Again a vendor serving Orange and Los Angeles Counties. These two women were great. Very speedy and they offered lots of different kinds of coffee drinks, of which I ordered a cappuccino, which didn’t require any sugar cubes! 

Plus look at how cool it is! A great way to continue to entertain your guests!

I may have said I had three vendors to talk about… if I did, i lied. The last one was going to be a limo company, but seeing how a limo is a limo, and there are a million limo companies, and I can’t really say anything about them, except that they were playing wedding crashers on the screens (which was a good choice, but who is going to be watching a movie when you just got married?!) I have decided not to revue them.  I know, don’t be mad  

Ok, so the first vendor I wanted to spotlight from last nights shin dig is ‘Thank Goodness it’s Sofia’ Catering and Event company.

This is a catering company located in Long Beach, but they serve all of southern california and further, i think! They provided all of the food at the event last night, and it was sooooo yummy! I love all things mini, so when we were handed things like chicken tamale popsicles (mmm) and club sandwiches 3 inches tall the diameter of a quarter, I was in love.  Seriously, small food is so much better than normal sized food! 

How good does that lettuce wrap look?! They are first and foremost caterers, but they have a team that will help you with all of your event needs including rentals and other vendors. 

Now, you may think I am biased since it is my great friends fiance who is the event sales manager at T.G.I.S., but I would not lie to people about food. It is too important. All I can say, is I can not wait until April 25th to go to their reception, cause I know it is going to be filled with lots of amazing mini food. MMM… Jeremy, if you are reading this, in exchange for doing your invitations (I know I said they were a gift but…) you can just supply me with some more of those chicken tamale popsicles and club sandwich skewers. Thanks  (I kid, I kid)

Need a caterer? Check them out!

How is this for a table scape?
