Fun Free Friday (FFF)! DIY ice cream cones/labels from @iDIY @eatdrinkchic and cake buying tips

Oh dear apologies because I have yet again missed Designer Thursday (though I did have intentions of posting about my ceremony dress). I will try to post about Pronovias soon though I still DON'T have my professional pictures. Sigh, it isn't really that hard to send a cd of images to London is it?

Anyhoo, I've been very theme-happy lately with the addition of LOTC so now I'm adding Fun/ Free Friday. Fun is of course why we should do anything and if it's free, even better!

For the ice cream lovers, please find on iDIY a lovely ice-cream centered compilation here. How lovely to have this for a shower or any party really.

Love the tags from eat, drink, chic. As someone who served ice cream cake for her wedding (ummm, slightly more melted than I liked when it was cut but still delicious), I have a special place in my heart for ice cream.

I also wanted to pass along an ice cream cake buying tip: warehouse clubs offer the same cakes for a big discount. I wish I had known this before, but I went to BJ's the day before moving to London and discovered that large Carvel cakes were only $17 there. I paid $25 after coupon for each cake and thought that was good. I don't have a membership but went with someone who did. The other pastries were also decent looking for a great price. So if you do a dessert buffet, consider purchasing them at your local warehouse club. They may have the same desserts for much less!

Free ice cream for volunteerism (and if you're <25)

Rewards in the form of icy treats are always nice.

That and serving your community is a nice break from wedding planning.

Get a 6 oz. cone from Baskin Robbins for joining Do Something.
Though I look young, I sadly can not participate in this promotion. But for the younger readers, go for it!
