nice if your ceremony is at the same
location as your reception. Guests can
enjoy a refreshing drink while waiting to
meet you in the receiving line.

choices for Summer Weddings.

Another bride had cookies made in the shapes
of lobsters, sailboats, light houses and
shells. Both Scrumptions and Cappuccinos
make oversized cookies. See our
