Recipe of the Week ~ {Cake} Drop Cookies

At my bridal shower this past Saturday the sandwich shop that did all of the food, made cake drop cookies (not sure that is their real name but sounds good)

There was two different kinds, chocolate and funfetti. After eating this dee-licous cookies my future MIL went home and discovered how to make them. In her words "best cheap and easy cookie to make"

A lot of box cakes already have the recipe on the side but some of them do not so here it is!

Choose any box cake mix:

Add in 1/3 Cup of Oil and 2 eggs.

Mix well.

Shape into one inch balls.

Bake at 375 on a greased cookie sheet for 6-8 minutes

and Viola!!

If you really wanted to get sugary you could top with frosting....but that would be getting a little crazy!

Enjoy my little domestic divas!!!

Wedding Wednesday - Our {Invitations} Have Been Mailed!!

I know this whole week has really been wedding week...but with being MIA last week I had to catch everyone up!

So last week my mom, Z, my dad, and I worked 15 hours total on our invitations. Why are we this crazy to do invitations on our own?? Well because we saved $1000.00, that's why!!

My mom said that if you would have told her she would have been making invitations when we first got engaged she said that she would have told you, you were crazy. But we actually did a really good job and it was not that hard to make them.

Here are some pics of last weeks craft time!

Yes that is a glue gun you see

Between my mom and I, we tied 200 of those knots.

No "I" in Team here

As you can see he was very excited to be helping!

Here are our beautiful invitations! I am absolutely in Love with them!

This is a BIG deal to make sure to read on the invitations....yes it is "Adult Only"

These are the adorable stamps we got!! I was so excited when I saw them at the post office that I sounded like I hit the jackpot.

Let me play out the conversation with the postal worker for you:

Me: I need to get 200 64 cent stamps for wedding invitations

Postal worker: The wedding cake ones?

Me: Oh!! Yes please!

Postal worker hands me the stamps

Me: Oh my goodness!! These are sooo adorable!! (in a shrieking voice)

Postal worker: Excuse me?

Me: The stamps, they are sooo cute!

She then proceeds to roll her eyes and tell me how much I owe her. Guess she was not as amused with how cute I thought the stamps were.

Wedding Shower {Hostess} Gifts

One of the hardest things to figure out planning our wedding, besides invitations, was hostess gifts. What do you get someone that is doing everything possible for a day to be special just for you?

After asking around and looking on every wedding website imaginable, I decided to do something for my first shower hostesses that would represent me.

Well, I LOVE wine

Like A LOT...

So I decided to do wine themed goodies for the hostesses.

Wine themed bags to go along with their bottle of wine

Cute little wine themed boxes to put their little goodies in

Of course this little guy was trying to help me the whole time!!

Wine for dummies....a very good read

Lady bug wine glass markers

Foil cutters

And of course the most important of all...the wine opener. My mom says it very important to carry one of these in your purse and/or car at all times in case you just need some wine.

I really thought I used my creative juices while putting their gifts together. Have you gotten a hostess gift that was really unique or horrible before?
