Or anywhere in France, for that matter!). I’m a full-time worker, part-time student, soon-to-be-step-mom, indie music lovin’, architecture and design fanatic, macaroni and cheese addict, vegetarian, Francophile, Ohio State football obsessed, wedding planning girl. Mr. Quiche and I are “Partners-in-Crime” and cannot wait to celebrate our marriage surrounded by our family and closest friends. I plan on DIYing my little heart out (or as much as a suitcase to Jamaica will hold).
About Mrs. Quiche

I love giving gifts that are uniquely personalized, but not outwardly so. Hints to a name in architecture, lovers initials “carved” into a tree… these have been my favorite gifts to give lately. They are perfect for a bridal shower or wedding gift.

As a lover of architecture, these photo wall art pieces make my heart go pitter-patter. I had all intentions of making one myself, camera slung around my neck… then decided to just leave it to the pros. Uncommon Goods has them in black & white or Pop Art-ish color. There are more sites yet that let you pick through their library of letters so that you get the perfect “K” for your friends.

I like ordering the new couple’s last name, but you can have yours say whatever you’d like!

I am also obsessing over these dainty tableware pieces. I ordered the mugs for one of my best friends for her wedding shower last year. They were a hit among the guests! The incredibly talented Jessica Rust carves the initials and date of your choice into the little trees. Each mug is a different drawing of the same tree in spring, summer, winter, and autumn.

Once I find a gift that I love, I tend to give it out multiple times. Do you have a fail-proof gift?

Hey! I did something very similar to the first gift (but I used Letter Your Legacy) for my sister and her husband’s first anniversary…their last name, of course.

I was a recepient of one of the photo last name pictures, and I can verify that it was our most favorite gift! It was handmade by one of our bridesmaids. I also have given one of the Jessica Rust platters. It’s one of my favorite gifts to give.

I love the name frame too! I have given this out to many friends and family for occasions. There is a great seller on Etsy that I used that is very reasonable. You can find her under JavaJaneDesigns!

Yep, we were definitely gifted my fiancé’s last name art by his thoughtful parents. The issue? Not sure I’m changing my last name!

I love the last name frame! My sister started making those a few years ago using pictures she had taken herself and now I’ve seen them popping up everywhere!! I have one of my first name, and my sister is doing our new last name in Tinted B&W!

I really love this photo. What a cool idea. My fail safe gift is photos too. Pictures I’ve taken and remembered my family/friends comment on how much the like it. I have a good memory.
