Add a new twist to your favorite cocktails! GlamDish has found a way to make your beverages a little more exciting with a few interesting garnish ideas. This is a great way to incorporate your theme into your cocktail hour. You could find (or DIY) a cute swizzle stick or charm in your wedding colors or with your monogram. Maybe a signature cocktail with a fun garnish is just the thing you need to spice up your wedding reception!

Are you including a signature drink at your wedding?

I love this idea from Martha Stewart Weddings!  What a perfect way to sweeten up your coffee bar - add a mini doughnut!  A fun variation on the typical reception pick-me-up, enjoy a cappuccino and a sweet treat to cap off the party.  I figure this is just one more idea to complicate your decision process!  (You’ll thank me later)

I’ve attended a few weddings recently with unique dessert ideas.  It’s always nice to see something new!  Do you have any fun ideas for a dessert/coffee bar?

So I couldn’t decide which to post so I figure why not post both.

The first is a fun bachelorette party idea inspired by a fellow WeddingWire member’s bachelorette adventure to Las Vegas.  Here’s a fun way to dress up your personal sized champagne bottles from Social Couture.

The second is fun and creative wedding cake I found on DIY Bride (who has been featuring wedding cakes all month).  While not the easiest cake to make yourself, it still represents the creativity available to each bride for their wedding.  Happy Friday!

So here’s a really creative idea I found on the Hostess with the Mostess blog this week: cheesecake pops.  Originally featured on the blog of mimi on the move as part of a baking contest, but I thought what a fun idea for a rehearsal dinner dessert or even a wedding dessert if you want to break from traditional desserts and give your guests something they’ll remember.  Enjoy!

Now I’ve always been a fan of the mash potato martini idea, but here’s taking the idea to a new level: Mac and Cheese Martini’s. I found this image on the flickr page of Blue Orchid Designs. What an easy and creative way to ensure guests remember your wedding.
