The super bowl is officially just three days away, so in honor of Super Bowl 50 and its golden year, the next couple of days will feature posts surrounding the Big Game.

February with Dear Wedding Day: Golden

Three of my favorite ways I've seen it used is with invitations, escort cards, and wedding cake (edible gold foil).

Examples of my Favorites:
