Forget individually-wrapped sprinkle-dipped fortune cookies as favors—what every hip bride should be giving out this june is…COCAINE TOOTHACHE DROPS.

Your guests might be dying to take home a warm biscuit.

Chicken-slaughtering bar! So doing this! Pinning for future referenceeeee...<3

"Your wedding will be one for the history books if you include a Raise Your Own Chickens bar. Your guests will spend several months feeding chicks locally grown corn before slaughtering them with engraved hatchets from Etsy (that they can later take home as mementos). The experience will culminate in having a Food Network star help your guests lovingly rub hand-harvested herbs on the birds and roast them in chic outdoor ovens."

flea circus favors! Yes please! <3

"Forget pie pops on sticks and hand-watered evergreen saplings. Give your guests a favor they will never forget (now matter how hard they try): train some fleas so your guests can have their very own flea circuses at home! Also included are instructions for DIYing a mini circus tent!"

Bacon bar? Waffle bar? Dessert bar? All passe. Have a full Chinese buffet trucked in!

How about an OFFAL BAR instead of a waffle bar at your wedding?! Locally raised, bby!

This. THIS. Oh man. Where to start?

Bridesmaids don't want tea! Bridesmaids don't want to buy a sunhat at Forever 21. Bridesmaids want tequila and pizza rolls and to never wear that lavender bubble dress again. Can you imagine NEEDLEPOINTING INVITATIONS to anything? Ok...maybe to Han Solo's and Princess Leia's wedding. But to a bridesmaid's tea? Also, why is this tea party 12 hours long?

Look, I'm all for the idea of a nontraditional wedding dress. I think the white strapless thing is overdone. So why on earth would you spend the most stressful time of your life- wedding planning- CROCHETING A DANG WHITE STRAPLESS DRESS???!!! Don't you have other things to do? Like making letters for your Make Your Own Organic Pie Pop Bar or watering the hand raised orchids you plan to give as (twine-wrapped) favors?

The Pinterest DIY Wedding Drinking Game: Anytime you see twine, drink. Anytime you see a chalkboard with wild-west-style capital letters on it, drink. Anytime you- oh-- have we passed out already?

Ok, ok...I can get behind the idea of a dessert bar. Maybe. I've seen some cute ones on Pinterest, and I, Kate, have to say I had an ice cream bar at my engagement party. But a BISCUIT BAR? The biscuit bar is where the idea for this blog began. It's the perfect example of Taking It Too Far. Here's the full post.

Sarah says: How pissed would you be to go to someone's wedding in your best getup and then be served honey. That you have to pour yourself.
