While we still have a soft spot for cupcakes, they’re making way for a new sweet wedding treat, Some say. “Macaroons are the new mini cupcakes”. “They look as lovely as a petit fours or can be a pretty passed sweet on the dance floor.” Think about matching your macaroons to your wedding colors or offering them two to a box as favors. Hot flavors to try: Blackberry, caramel, mango or lemon-lime.

Good Night....

“Good Night” stations at weddings have been bidding guests adieu, giving couples another trendy way to set their "favors" apart from the rest. The best part about a goodnight station is that it can be used during any wedding no matter what time of the day or year. So, you Early Afternoon brides take note :)

Milk and Cookie stations have kicked off the trend and it has evolved from there.  See some great ideas below...

Tis the Season...
Good Day Station ideas for a Spring and Summer Weddings:
For celebrations that are during the day or during the hotter months, swap the hot beverages for cold ones. Drinks such as bottled water, soda, punch, or possibly fruit smoothies can bid your guests adieu. Iced treats can be a good way to cool off on a hot day, Popsicle and ice cream sandwiches would be ideal, if it is possible to keep them cold.

 Goodnight Station ideas for a Fall and Winter Wedding:
For an evening wedding a station beside the exit can be complete with drinks such as: coffee, tea, and hot chocolate; to go with that, snacks such as: bagels, doughnuts and cookies make this station complete. For the fall, consider festive snacks for the time of year such as: apple fritters, cider, or candy apples.

 If you are looking for a way to make your wedding stand out a goodnight station is perfect for you!

Who has two thumbs....

and is super excited about this new wedding trend? This girl.

My March Bride was the first to do this (we'll call her a trend setter).  I loved this unique idea of your guest making thumb prints instead of the usual guest book.  You can buy ink pads to match your wedding colors and have a great canvas to hang in your home after the wedding.

Get a great frame, an a sturdy table (I do NOT recommend an easel) and you're all set!!

note: this was from a birthday party, not a wedding.
