CAKE
Tse Wei & Diana may do this for us for free?
His favorite is chocolate raspberry ganache. J'approve! Chocolate mint seems more in line w/color scheme...
Cupcakes are always nice because they give people variety.

Outdoor wedding = Delightful hats for all? fancy fans for ladies?

Looking at about 100 people - I'm at a little over 50, but that includes mutual friends. Plan for 150 for now to be safe?
