reception - cake/cupcakes
We are having some cupcakes from Georgetown cupcakes delivered on Friday for a taste test (we just can't find the time to drive a 3-hour round trip to go down there for a taste test) and if we love them then it's a go for the cupcakes! If they aren't good, we'll try a few other local places, but if all else fails we plan on doing a small cake from Sugar Bakers. They have adorable (and relatively affordable) cakes!
I've also recently fallen in love with their cake (shown to the left) with the Hibiscus flowers. It's named "Hana" which is the one place on Maui that I've become absolutely OBSESSED with and can't wait to go :D
UPDATE: The cupcakes were amazing! We're definitely doing cupcakes. My favorite was the cinnamon and Steve's was the peanut butter fudge. The mint cookies & cream was a very close runner up. They were awesome and I'm looking forward to having them at our reception!
UPDATE 2: I did a photoshoot for a friend's sister in law who is starting her own baking company. Their cupcakes were better than Georgetown! And the price is better too :) I'm very excited to use them for our reception instead.

reception - cake topper
I have talked to lollipopworkshop on etsy and they are definitely going to be making our cupcake toppers. They typically do only cake toppers but they are willing to work with us to do the bride and groom as separate pieces each with their own pedestal. They are also going to make the dress on the bride to match my dress and the attire on the groom to match Steve's outfit. I'm so excited! These things are so adorable <3
UPDATE: Ours came in! I love them so much!

reception - guestbook
The first time I saw the "fingerprint family tree" guestbook on Etsy I fell in love and knew we had to do it. There's something awesome to me about having a guestbook that turns into a work of art. There are many beautiful styles of this on etsy but the ones by LoveFromTheThumb are the ones I love the most. We're probably going to go with the one on the left.
Now I'm thinking we might not do a guestbook at all. I'm still going back and forth on this one. Our song request cards will probably be used instead.
