I'm back with some details about the food for this great wedding I helped design last month.  First off, this was a huge event, so I had my work cut out for me.  I planned on feeding about 300 people, and in reality, I think more may have come, so I'm glad I over-planned, just to be safe.  Second, I'm a bit of a control freak, and I want to make sure everything is done just how I envision it, so I made almost everything myself.

Heck YES!!  I have been  in love with the art of letterpress for years and have always wished that I could make my very own letterpress creations.
