Pie Auction at the Wedding!

 Two months ago, Mark & I attended a friend's wedding. While we were there, we got a lot of ideas & inspiration for our own wedding (thanks, Jeremy & Darcie!!!). One of the things we saw while we were there was a pie auction. It was a lot of fun & we LOVED the idea! We can't wait to impliment it at our own wedding! :)

Basically the idea is this: Instead of doing the dirty "dollar dance", the couple asks some of their family & friends to make some amazing, fancy looking cakes, pies, cobblers etc to auction off at their wedding, with the proceeds going to their honeymoon fund. It is a LOT of fun- lots of laughing, challenges, oh's & ah's!

We will be doing this at our wedding. We've asked several of our siblings & friends to make their best desserts for us. We'll display them all in the reception hall. During the reception, Mark's brother (our MC) will do his best impression of an auctioneer, to sell the desserts for us! It will be a great time!

  1. Hi Kate!
    Thank you for inviting me to participate in this. I thought I would let everyone know what I'll be bringing. I'm making an apple pie and a combination blackberry and some other fresh fruit (we'll see what's ripe at the time!) pie. Both with made-from-scratch crusts.
    Blessings,
    Kayla
