Wedding Blog
The first being our invites, which still cause Mr. Gummi Bear to sigh audibly whenever I mention it… the second being the pillows, which I have pawned off on slaves. (amazingly, they are all done!) and the last…Our wedding favors. Oh yes, this will be the largest and worst project, mostly because it MUST be done on the day before. It’s going to take at least 3 people, and thankfully, we have two girls we’re bringing as slaves to help. We ordered 300 macarons, 100 of each flavor, from Miette Pattisserie, bought a lot of cello wrap, cut 600 pieces of 6″ ribbon, and 3 large cookie jars.
I think it’s cute! Ridiculous. Pointless. Extraneous. But Cute.
Does anyone have really small, talented fingers and nothing to do on a Friday? It’s only 300 cookies… it’s not so bad. Mr. Gummi Bear’s fat hobbit fingers can’t do it - so it’s just the girls! Who need a rehearsal anyway!

so are you using the nests, or no?
we are using the nests. 
but not as favors, as place setting decorations.
very cute! i am available on fridays and have nimble fingers. always wanted to visit san fran…i am in nashville.
very cute!!!
I’m gonna have to give Mr. GB some of those bread tabs he can handle, ha ha.
Hi Miss GB — those are very cute! Don’t know if this will work for you, but I had a last-minute stuffing/ribboning to-do task, and I sped things up by tying half the ribbons ahead of time. On yours, if you can, try using a “dummy” macaroon to get the placement right, or eyeball it, and tie one of the ends ahead of time. Repeat until you have a whole pile of half-done empty cello wraps, and then you can pop the fresh macaroons in on the day-of. I don’t think you can do the stickers — they might get messed up as you remove the dummy and insert the real cookies — but at least half the tying will be done!
Oh that’s it? I thought you were doing something extremely complicated as usual, like hand-made soaps in the shape of birds or something. 
I wish I could help — so I could get a chance to see your house, the lovely invitation, and the ann wood birds!
what you didn’t make the macaroons too? just KIDDING! they’re gorgeous! love love love them!

About Me: I live for anthropologie, design blogs, sweets, japanese zakka, and vintage goods. We just bought our first home together and live with our two puppies and cat - it's a strange mixture of vintage, high-tech (we have 7 computers and 21 video game systems in all), and a whole lot of fur. Our wedding tries to embody the Japanese idea of "slow life", which is truly taking the time to enjoy food, company, and your environment!
