A couture wedding gown, a string quartet, a garden full of peonies - of all the incredible details in store for our wedding, how weird is it that my favorite so far is the simplest and cheapest?

This is a handful of kiss stickers I whipped up to act as seals for the candy buffet bags. Just soft pink resume paper from Kinko’s printed in our secondary font (Urgent Telegram) in a medium grey (to evoke the look of a typewriter), punched in one-inch circles, and run through the Xyron sticker maker.

I think there’s something wrong with me. Because I just want to eat them right out of the bowl:

Also finito are the labels for the bags themselves:

I went back and forth about these babies forever. Kept changing the shape, design, colors. I originally had them in the same pink paper as the kiss seals, but then I realized that in white, they looked more like old school, hand-typed labels. Wedding theme power, activated!

This ended up entailing a bit of work, however, including the snipping of a zillion corners with a rounder punch and, of course, the requisite trip through the ol’ Xyron:

I kept the stickers low on the bag so they wouldn’t get scrunched down. The final look:

I probably made far more kiss/swak/mwah stickers than will ever be used. But they were just too yummy, I couldn’t stop. I guess I can always throw them on the back of my love letters…
