Cake Ideas.... A Nice Surprise for your Groom
Grooms’ cakes are popular . The groom’s cake is a secondary, usually more whimsical cake, often themed around the groom’s interests. In the South, it traditionally was chocolate or red velvet, cake designers say. In the movie “Steel Magnolias,” the red velvet groom’s cake was shaped like an armadillo.

Cut carnation stems so that when they are inserted into the foam only the heads are visible. (each foam brick will take approx 2 dozen flowers as you do not want any holes)

(You could also use the smaller one sided/one piece cards that lay flat, but the tented cards look a little nicer...)

Neat Ideas: Favors
The party favor is a small box that can be filled by your guests with a variety of candies, so they can choose their favorites. You could have the candy in your wedding colors. You could use candy that is inexpensive such as M & M's or you could go with something elegant like Godiva Chocolate. You can add to the candy collection childhood favorites and flavored popcorn. The list is endless. I think young guests to your wedding would especially love this.
Another perfect idea for a modern wedding favor is a DVD copy of the couple’s favorite songs, and they can have their wedding picture printed on the DVD cover.
