welcome baby caleb | cincinnati wedding planner

Jenni + Michael were perhaps two of the sweetest people we've ever worked with.  Their wedding was last June at Paul Brown Stadium.. They just welcomed a son into the world this week.  Annie Varland (named best baby + children's photographer by Cincinnati Magazine!) was there to capture the event on film.  Check out the amazing photos on her blog.   Congratulations Jenni + Michael, Caleb is lucky to have such wonderful people for parents!

inspiration: opening day | cincinnati wedding planner

If you live in the greater Cincinnati area, you know today is opening day and that Cincinnati is a baseball town.  Good or bad, we love our Reds. So in honor of opening day, I thought I'd share some super cute baseball themed wedding ideas I've come across.

Lucky for CEP, we  had a couple that loved the Reds so much, they had a Reds themed wedding.  Amanda + Mike were married on the field and had the reception at Great American Ballpark.   One of my favorites touches was a custom made jersey with the couple's last name which they used as the "guest book."

While browsing Etsy (so addicting!), I found adorable baseball themed wedding invitations.  Really, how cute are these?

Cufflinks in your favorite team (or find them with just the baseballs) for all of the men.

 

Cooperstown Cookies has great options for sweet treats- including a plain baseball cookie or a bag of mini bunt cookies for your guests to take home.

 

Or try baseball cake pops like these cute ones I found on Etsy!

Adding a few unique touches without going overboard can really pull a themed wedding together.  Check out this table by Camargo Rental also in honor of opening day, while it might not be elegant enough for opening day (ie pilsners + popcorn), but it definitely shows a little can go a long way when working with a theme.
