About Miss Candy Corn

Here are the mock-ups of what our special table decorations will look like. The egg tree will be on the placecard table, while the bird tree will be at the photobooth scrapbook station area.

The vases are filled with coffee beans, which was inspired by Miss Cookie’s coffee addict post. I’m not a coffee drinker, but Mr. CC can’t start his day off without it, so it’s my ode to his daily obsession.

Speaking of our guestbook table, here are photos of our guestbook made by K&Company, which I bought at Michael’s with my 40% off coupon (I must’ve used one of those suckers every day last week bwahah). I just threw the first photo I could find of us in there, but I plan on swapping it out with another photo of us. I’m just not sure which one yet.

Materials used:One bag of coffee from Costco
Two cylinder vases from Michael’s
Set of birdseed eggs originally from Smith & Hawken (no longer for sale there)
Two faux manzanita branches originally from Smith & Hawken (I snagged the last two on the online shop)
Set of adorable birdies from the insanely talented Miss Shortcake

What decoration ideas have you guys come up with for your placecard and guestbook tables?

Lol. I too used my michael’s coupon every day last week. As if that’s not enough, on saturday I dragged my friend there, gave her the coupon, gave her the item, and pointed her to the cashier. Haha..

And good job on the trees!

As I have inspired you with my coffee filled vases, you have inspired me with your trees. Now I just need to figure out where to put them. Great idea!
