We finally booked a place and sent out the evite! It'll be at BJ's Brewery in SoCal. We mainly picked it for convenience.

Here's a mock up of the little favors I made. I know you don't normally have favors at engagement parties, but it was just lollipops and since our party was around Valentine's Day, I thought it would be cute. I got the small glass vases at a Japanese discount store (called Daiso, there are a few stores in the Bay Area) and bought M&Ms because it's cheaper than rocks.



Here are the different designs and signs that I made. They're all double sided - my mom's an avid scrapbooker/card maker, so I had plenty of supplies and tools (double heart cut out, heart shaped brads, stamps and embossing powder). I lucked out when I found a stamp that said 'From the Heart'. Thought it'd be perfect corniness with the heart shaped lollipops. And I just used meat skewers as the sign sticks and double sided tape to hold it all together.
