I Love This #3




Last year at the magazine launch of World Bride, in the gift bag was a tin, Bouteaque Tea. I was happy as a clam, because I do love tea and the flavor was the Rubious Raspberry Herbal Tisane. Oh my, was this a delicious tea. First of all, when I opened the can, the scent was intoxicating, sexy, and calming. I brewed my first cup and Oh My God, this was heaven. The tea is so flavorful, bold and yes sexy.
Then I was thinking, how fabulous this would be as favor gifts and this is how you can do it:
There are 6 flavors to choose from but I recommend choose one or two for your guest. Each 4 oz tin is $15.00, this is pretty expensive, but if you can afford this for all your guest, go for it.
* When buying in large quantity, make a deal.*

DIY this idea and it can be more affordable. Purchase the tins, which I found goo gobs so choices on line. Fill the tins up with loose tea. Then secure with a sticker and I think your guest will love it.

Mini Cupcakes A Bite Of Perfection


Cupcakes are all the rage for weddings these days. As a matter of fact, they are probably in danger of being passe`. But, don't get your tulle in a bunch, I just love the bite size mini cupcakes. It's just enough and you don't have to feel so guilty eating one (if you eat five, you need to get on your knees). There are tons of companies that make mini cupcakes or there are recipes for you to give it a try yourself. Even the mini size gives you a little more room to be creative with the flavors. Cut your cake, but serve your guest a mini buffet of different flavors. I know they will be taking more than one, but they will get a kick out all the new and fun flavors.
