#43 Itty Bitty Bakery

Thanks to friend who is addicted to anything sweet, we were directed to a little treasure of a bakery northeast of downtown Kansas City. Boulevard Bakery & Pastries has everything from tasty pastries to cookies so cute it’s hard to bite into them! Check out their website to see the many sugar cookie designs they create. The prices are also very reasonable, so the next time you have a craving…

Wedding Invitation: Kansas City Couple, Chris & Kristin

We've just completed wedding invitations for Chris & Kristin, a Kansas City couple that holds a special place in our hearts. Kristin is not only my (Lindsey) cousin but also a very close friend to both of us. In fact, we'll both be standing next to her as bridesmaids on the big day! Chris & Kristin met a couple years ago while working together. Their friendship soon transformed into a love that continues to grow to this day. After a mountain top proposal in Breckenridge, these two have decided to have a wedding that pays tribute not only to their deepening relationship, but also to one of the most special places in Kristin's heart -- Manhattan, KS or home to the Kansas State Wildcats. (Go State!)

Chris & Kristin, we wish you the best in all life has to offer as God continues to strengthen you both in your love. We can't wait to share the big day with you!

#1 Boulevard Brewhaha

Boulevard Brewing Company's Muehlebach Suite is a gem of a venue for a wedding reception that aims to incorporate one of the mainstays of KC culture. Located on the third floor of the brewery is a good-sized room, complete with ample space for tables and maybe a little dancing, if the need arises! A round bar at the top of the staircase features all of the traditional Boulevard brews and also a few lesser known. The entire, facing wall of the room is lined with windows that open up to an awesome rooftop patio. It gives the perfect view of the Kansas City Skyline and has several bartop tables and benches, making for great conversation or relaxation. It wouldn't take much to make this into an amazing spot for your reception! All you need is a couple (or several....) of your closest friends and family members to make this place even more amazing than it already is! Check into reserving it today!
