Gocco My Fork?

February 23rd, 2010 @ 5:26 pm by Mrs. Pretzel

If you remember, Mr P and I fell in love with the budget and eco conscious Ecoware wooden cutlery. I didn’t think we could be more in love with our utensils… until my coworker sent me a link to these:

Gocco My Fork? :  wedding decor diy Niemans niemans

Source: Neiman Marcus

Yep, that is definitely personalized Ecoware – what a freakin’ fan-tab-u-lous idea!

How much does Neiman Marcus want for said cutlery? $64.00 for twelve 3-piece sets. Whoa… wait… that is $1.77 each piece! Hummm… I think my trusty Gocco and I could personalize my forks for… let’s see… zero dollars! I can reserve small sections of my upcoming Gocco screens (can you say invitation suite?!- YAY) to burn some sayings for our Ecoware.

What will we say?

Since we are making these ourselves we aren’t limited to one saying. I’d love to do a bunch of different sayings. Here are the options that I have brainstormed so far.

  • Mr & Mr Pretzel
  • Hoppy in Love
  • Hoppy Ever After
  • Love on Tap
  • 100% Love by Volume
  • July XX, 2010

OK Weddingbee hive, my creativity is “tapped out”. Can you lend a Pretzel a hand? What do you think of the above options? Can you think of any other “Pretzel” appropriate sayings?

I think it would be cute to just do the first letter of each of your names like: m + j in lower case. Or even r <3 j. Though obviously I don’t know the appropriate letters… ;)

I don’t get the “hoppy in love” one, is there a pun I’m missing here? *Feels stupid :)

And I LOVE these. Like, seriously LOVE them.

@Miss Trail Mix: I wondered if everyone would get that- It’s a play on words with Hops- like what goes into beer. :) it’s kinda a stretch… our Holiday cards this year were “hoppy holidays” with beer bottles crisscrossed over a wreath like a bow- yes we are beer nerds…
