I'm not a huge fan of monograms, but when done correctly can be really tasetful. I always think Brides have more fun with desserts so at your bridal shower put YOUR first name initial as the monogram. This could also be a great gift to send to your bridal party.
You can also create a custom Dozen order to be shipped anywhere in the US ($50 total, includes shipping)
Cupcake wedding cakes are also showing up more these days. You can select any number of flavors and decorations you'd like. GTC will create a custom fondant stamp for you for only $5.00 and will keep it in their shop for future use.
