I have had a couple of questions lately about where to get some of the supplies I used for our wedding decor. I thought I would just go ahead and post the details so all could see.
MAP
The map included in our invitations was made by me. I used Adobe Illustrator and printed the file on cardstock at Kinkos.
STATIONARY STAMPS
The stamps I used on the Thank You notes and our Save the Dates is from the Martha Stewart line sold at Michael's Craft Store. It is called Wedding Cake. Isn't it delicious - I sort of want to lick the paper after using this one. Each design is a separate clear stamp that you put on a stamp block (sold separately) in whatever arrangement you want. Worked pretty well but the intricate design didn't always work with embossing powder like I did with the STDs.
CUPCAKE STANDS
The cupcake stands are from Martha Stewart's craft line sold at Walmart. Sense a trend of my design inspiration? I snazzed them up a bit with ribbon and papel picado stands like our theme.
MEXICAN CANDY
I got the Mexican candy from a Mexican Party Store in Phoenix called Dulceria Pico Rico. I didn't actually buy any candy for the candy buffet on-line like many wedding advice sties recommend. I found the on-line stores sold only in ridiculous quantities and Sam's Club along with the Mexican party store had better prices (and no shipping costs). We weren't going for a monochromatic color scheme though and wanted to feature our favorite candies - not just those that would look good. If your looking for candies that you can't normally find in the store the on-line sellers would make more sense.
If interested in knowing any other details just let me know!

I loooove the map. I never quite figured out the program you used. I tried, but gave up relatively quickly (since I had other things to do), so we just had a very basic map printed. Oh well!
cute details all around :) love your candy buffet and cupcakes stands.
Randomly came across your blog while looking at candy buffet ideas for my daughter's up coming birthday... your wedding looked fantastic. The candy buffet you had was great - where did you get the glass containers?

That was a great mexican candies stand! I once saw an stand made with wood and filled with candies from casa Adelita confectionery, I felt sad I ruined the look by devouring some candies but my stomach was so happy!
great wedding ideas. Bucks Party
