at home BM luncheon help

ok; there is no way i can take all 6 of my girls out to dinner or lunch. SO, i was thinking of a having a little something at my house.

i was thinking of having a bunch of apps, maybe a champagne punch and the cake with the charms....
do you think this is good? what else can i do?

NOW, where do i get the recipe for the cake with the charms and where do u get the charms?

You can get the charms online at any of the wedding invites sites...or michaels has them as well.

Jess, here is a website with the charms, but why not try asking Laura- doesn't she sell all of that stuff and also at a discount?

I think this sounds really nice. I think it is personal and intimate. You can really just make a regular layer cake and follow the directions below:

These charms can be used for many different reasons. One of the most popular is for cake pulls. What are those? Well, you simply have your baker attach each charm to a length of ribbon (not included) and insert them in between the layers of of your cake with the ribbon extending out beyond the edge of the cake. Then at the reception you have each of your bridesmaids pull out a charm for good luck. Each charm represents a unique positive association such as our examples or make your own..

Jess....I think this is a fabulous idea. It will be fun and cost way less than going out.

No prob, Jess. I think the invites would be a nice touch, as well as a signature drink!

I am doing the BM luncheon at my home as well. I think it is more intimate. I figure everything else is at a venue. Bridal Shower, Wedding, Engagement party....gotta host something here.
