Curb Wedding Costs with Wedding Cupcakes | MyBankTracker

Trying to shave some money off your #wedding budget? Your dessert choice may be the ticket. Cupcakes vs Wedding Cake! #WeddingWednesday

"The average sized wedding ranges from about 150-200 in attendance and according to Shin’s quotes:

Average Cake Cost: $1,125-$1,800+ ($7.50 to $12 a slice)

Average Cupcake Cost: $375 – $525+ ($2.50-$3.50 a cupcake)"

https://www.mybanktracker.com/news/2011/04/02/cupcakes-wedding-cakes-economy-picks-winner/

Weddings are difficult and expensive to plan. Wedding cupcakes, instead of a wedding cake, may be a cost effective solution to reduce wedding costs.

Do you know how many women that own their own businesses, in one point of their journey were constantly getting laid off, moved from position to position and had little or no job security? A lot. Every conferencence or gathering of entrepreneurs and creatives who are forging their own path has stories of this with a history of job insecurity or simply unhappiness in a position. Your creativity IS your job security. There is only one person that does what you do like you! You've got this! #MondayMotivation

Classic Cocktail History: The Mimosa

It's #MimosaMonday! We don't do brunch here without our favorite champagne infused cocktail. Today we bring to you the history of one of brunch's favorite drinks.

#MimosaMonday

https://gunthertoodys.com/classic-cocktail-history-mimosa/

Did an acclaimed American director invent the mimosa, or is it just the cousin of a cocktail born in London?   It’s hard to think about brunch without a mimosa, the two things just go hand-in-hand.

From there, Bella fell in love with event coordination and went on to work in event design for a catering company as well as in concierge planning for corporate events. She is ecstatic to finally be a part of a team, where the focus is creating and carrying out events that cater to each client's unique needs. Bella enjoys working closely with brides and grooms to ensure their event happens exactly the way they imagined it, while helping to make their dreams come to life.
