Muffin Weddings

My next request was for a muffin themed wedding and I really loved looking this up. This is a fun theme that doesn't have to be the main focus of a wedding. This theme could really compliment the bride and groom who are looking for a fun twist to the traditional wedding. 

Invites and Thank Yous

I am really into DIY invites and thank you cards because traditionally they cost less, are easier to personalize and really are simple to make. I recommend picking up a Wilton Wedding Invitation Kit  (between $20-30 for a fifty pack) and instead of having a traditional wedding message, have a fun wedding message like 

      "   Do you know the Muffin Man                                       "These two love muffins are not Bluffin'

             Has Found a Muffin Wife?                                                          Orlando Northman

                            We                                                                                         and

                           and                                                                   joyfully request your presence"

The Wedding Party and Ceremony
If you were hoping for muffin themed wedding dresses and bridesmaids dresses, I unfortunately believe that you are ahead of the curve on that trend. Head over to Michaels or your local scrapbooking store and scope out muffin/cupcake charms (about $1-2 depending on the store). Use these to make boutonniere for the guys and a small single charm bracelet for the girls. 

Reception Locations 
Fun ways to show off the theme can be having the table numbers or name cards muffin shaped. If you go to your local scrapbook store they will usually let you use a muffin/cupcake shaped die cut as long as you buy the paper there or if you are feeling brave you can cut them out yourself. Instead of a traditional wedding cake, have blueberry cheescake muffins or another flavor of gourmet muffins. 

Favors
There are a lot of muffin and cupcake boxes out online that make really great favors for this theme. My favorite though is something I saw on BrideandBabyfavors.com, which was a personalized muffin mix with a small whisk with a heat on it. Now the site is a bit pricey so for our do it a home ladies, run to walmart, pick up a pack of white gift bags, premade muffin mix (divide your guest list in 2 and buy that many bags), and some glue sticks and you can easily make the same thing. 




Here is a mash up of what I would plan for a wedding of 120 people at Salvatore's in Chicago

The total cost for everything above is only about $4200
