Be My Bridesmaid?

I've been really bad at posting blog posts this year so far, it doesn't mean I haven't been baking, just been busy. Christmas is a busy time of year for me. Lots of holiday parties and baking so after the New Year I did take a little break...but I also got ENGAGED! Woo hoo! After 4 years we are finally getting married and I couldn't be more excited to marry my best friend! 

Will you be my bridesmaid? cookies

I have been dreaming of my wedding for a long time and I knew right away who I wanted to be standing up there with me. I am a big fan of Etsy. As a "local" business, I like to support others who have there own business based on their love and passion. I scoured Pinterest to find cute ideas to ask my girls to be bridesmaids, but everything just seemed over done. I wanted to do something personal and "me."

Wedding Ring, I Do Cookies

So naturally I thought about making cookies. And the more I looked on the internet the more I decided I liked that idea. So I grabbed some of my "girly" cookie cutters and got baking. 

Wedding Cookies

For colors, I am not doing pink and purple, I just think they are bright and fun, girly colors. One of my favorite cutters is my dress. 

Initial Cookies

I packaged them all up in boxes and invited my girls over to my place and surprised them. Now as I mentioned I like Etsy and I found some really cute custom hand made cards that said, "will you be..." to go on top of the package. 

Bright Flower Cookies

All the girls were surprised and excited. One even said before opening it, "are there cookies in here?" So I knew I picked the right way to ask them. One girl even started crying she was so surprised which made me really happy to have her apart of the big day this summer. 

Unfortunately, one of my girls lives in California and so I couldn't give them to her in person but I also tested out shipping the cookies to her. She said that they did arrive in one piece for the most part, only one broke and got a little squished.
