Eleni's in New York is one of my hands down favorites. Every season there are new options that are cuter than before. I am especially in love with the Wedding collection below. It would be perfect for a "Breakfast at Tiffanys" themed shower. I also think it would be cute to send to a friend who just got engaged.
Casue Sweets seems to be the couture designer of cookies. How amazing are these shells? Perfect for a seaside wedding.
Casue Sweets has the most intricate designs, they'll even custom make cookies designed to match your wedding gown! How unbelievable are these:
I love these starfish and shell sugar cookies from Ali's Sweet Treats. They fit perfect with our nautical theme. I think they would be a cute addition to our Out of Town Welcome bags.
A Dozen Eggs, located in New England has so many cute options. My personal favorite is Penant Fever. My sister's fiance proposed to her at Fenway Park where they had their first date. So we threw them a Red Sox themed Engagement party and of course we bought a few of the Penant Fever Cookie Collections and they were a HUGE hit at the party!
At my god-daughter's baby shower, we used K-Delights. The cookies were delicious. I think the diamond ring sugar cookies would have been perfect for our engagement party. After a lot of price research on sugar cookies on the web, I think K-Delights was the cheapest option I found. Most cookies range around $5.00 up to much more, but they had options under $3.00.
I love these cookies from Meli and Angi. I like that they are personalized. I think they would be a cute favor tied up in a package with a ribbon.
One of my favorite cookies I've seen on the web is this clever "Crabcake" from Maine Cake and Cookies. It's perfect for a clambake wedding.I found these monogrammed beauties at Rolling Pin Productions. They are perfect for a garden party or English tea themed shower.

Are you trying to incorporate a favorite family memory into your wedding?
I love the moment captured in this shot. Mr. Newport escorting two of the bridesmaids into the reception to "I've got a Feeling" by the Black Eyed Peas. The wedding was so much fun and I love that this picture captures that
There were so many great options for the first dance and father daughter dance to choose from!
I was so nervous giving my speech and I like that I appear to be calm and collected in this one!
And of course, I had to throw some in of the flower girl, my adorable god-daughter. 


The meal was amazing, but the biggest hit of the night was the groom's cake. When people walked in, they literally poked at the cake and wanted to know what it was and were amazed when they realized it was cake. Everything on it was edible including the beer bottles. The cake was made by Laura Anes of
As you can tell from the groom's cake, Brother-in-law-Newport likes beer. Within the past couple of years he has started to homebrew beer and is well known for his unique flavors. As part of his groomsmen's gifts, he gave each guy a six pack of his homebrewed beer with fun labels personalized for each guy.
The bridesmaids each received a piece of jewelry. Mine was a necklace with my first initial engraved from Tiffany's.
Everything about the night was amazing. I had never been to rehearsal dinner and imagined it would be formal. This was so laid back and fun, it's definitely giving me ideas for our rehersal next year!
So after a bajillion drafts, here is what I'm probably saying at this moment to two of my best friends:
BILN and Sister Newport, I love you both very much, you are two very dear friends to me. In the past couple years, I have seen you both grow as individuals and flourish as a couple. Separately, you both are very special, remarkable people, but together you are complete.
