These are a few of my favorite things:

Hoopla Ice Cream

Obviously a favorite part of this wedding was the Hoopla Ice cream truck! They had delicious flavors, including, Holy Matrimocha ( A chocolate and espresso based ice cream flavor), I love you Berry Much ( A strawberry matcha ice cream) and so many more to choose from. Such a fun addition and a great pick me up!

Couples newspapers

The couple made these newspapers by hand! Each one came with Games, facts about the couple, and a bit about their wedding day! We loved how intentional they were with their decor, it made everything come together so beautifully and it was so much fun to set up!

Guest Trophies!

Mary Ellen and Walter secretly put together a full awards ceremony for thier guests! The prizes were the cutest little trophies, each engraved with what the prize was won for. There were prizes for first RSVP, Last RSVP, furthest travelled, Mostd edicated to learning about thier traditions, and more. It was such a sweet way to recognize guests!
