The Story Behind our Save the Date Card

Back when we had our engagement pictures taken I had come up with a sneaky plan to get some really candid shots for our save-the-date cards. Because we're doing a dessert only reception we wanted a save-the-date card that sort of alluded to that and set the tone in a fun way. We decided to bring along some Sprinkles Cupcakes to use as props for some possible pictures we could use on the card. Little did Joel know that I had talked with Lexi, our photographer, beforehand to inform her that I'd be surprising Joel with a cupcake smashed in his poor cute little innocent face : ) We even set up a code word and everything, unfortunately we didn't get to USE the code word because it ended up being so easy just to make intense eye contact with Lex behind Joel's back when the time came.

Here is the sequence of events that took place:

It started out innocent just with a couple of cupcakes... Poor Joel just thought he was luckin' out getting his favorite treat :

When I went to pick up the cupcakes the girl at the counter asked if these were for any special occasion. I told her they were props for engagement pictures and she squealed and offered me a cute "I Do" sticker for the box... how cute is that?!

And that my friends is how you get a completely candid, fun, in the moment save the date card. Piece of cake... ha, get it?
