Engagement Party Invites

On October 17th, we gathered together our wedding party and immediate families for a small engagement BBQ. The party was held in the beautiful, "mod" community room and pool on the roof of a friend's loft building in downtown Los Angeles. The theme for our party was "tying the knot" - with a loosely nautical twist. Here is a peak out our invites, the "monogrammed" candle apples courtesy of bridesmaid Rachel M., and the cupcakes I made. The cupcakes were from a box mix and pre-made frosting. I made the little "knots" with Wilton gum paste purchased from Sur La Table. I'm trying to track down more pics still from bridesmaid Katie B. and as soon as I have them I pill post!
