Happy Monday to everyone! I can’t believe it is already June. I have so much going on this month from bachelorette parties, bridal showers, a rehearsal dinner and wedding of one of my best friends, and of course a very important holiday: Father’s Day! With everything coming up I took it a little easy event wise this past weekend.

On Thursday I went with my friend Meredith, her sister and MOH Allyson and the MOTB to her dress fitting. The last time she saw and tried on the dress was back in January so this was a very fun fitting. I am not going to post any pictures of the dress quite yet (don't want to ruin the surprise), but check back in mid-August for some great pictures after the wedding! As a rule to remember: when it comes to ordering a wedding dress it is very important to discuss your timeline with the store you are ordering from. If you are on a tight timeline you need to let them know upfront so that you have plenty of time to get the dress delivered, altered and all ready for the big day.

One event I cannot wait for is my best friend Emily’s bachelorette party that is coming up this weekend. As the MOH I have planned the weekend, sent out the invitations and now and just waiting for Friday to get here to start the fun! You can take a peek at the invitations I designed myself below. For a girls weekend you cannot go wrong with pink!


You will want to check back all week as I will be sharing some fun ideas when it comes to planning a bachelorette party. This week I have to finish up the menu, do a little baking and of course some crafting which I will share with you later this week. I will also be sharing some pictures of the weekend with you next Monday. 

Do you have any fun events planned for this upcoming week or weekend?

Happy Friday everyone! Today I am featuring a cookie company that is beyond talented. Kooking in Kate’s Kitchen is a blog that features the cookies that Kate makes for events and parties. What started out as a 2011 resolution of making fun cookies has turned into a thriving business in the Richmond area. 

The owner, Kate, has created sugar cookies for baby showers, weddings (including her own sister’s wedding), birthday parties, football games, graduations and holiday events to just name a few. My family has ordered cookies for our JMU (that would be James Madison University for those that don’t know) tailgates, my brother’s high school, and my mom even ordered adorable Christmas cookies for her choir kids this past December.  


Each of Kate’s cookies are custom orders so the design choices are unlimited! Here are a few of my favorite cookies she has designed: 

What preppy girl could resist those adorable bowties!
I just about died when I saw the damask print.
These cookies are the perfect way to celebrate a bridal shower.
My mom's 3 & 4 year old choir kids loved these at Christmas.
I just had to include these...I am a huge Harry Potter fan!
We got these for a football game and I almost didn't want to eat them because they were too cute! (Please note I said almost...they were delicious!)

You can view more of Kate’s cookies on her blog site,  Facebook or on Twitter and place can place an order by contacting her at [email protected]. Which one of Kate’s cookies is your favorite?
