It was “loaf at first sight.”

When creator Jazmin Reyes was planning her wedding, she really thought about the details.

“I wanted the experience of our wedding to start with the invites, and we wanted something more unique than just paper,” she says on TikTok. “I would get invitations that are paper, and I would kind of toss them out or forget about them, and I feel like it’s such a waste of resources.”

Reyes and her fiancé Miguel Sotto wanted to use something original and memorable instead of traditional invitations. So, they sent their guests loaves of bread from Daniel Bakery in Manila, with the help of a design company called Bridal Brandbook.

Each invitation was a tall loaf of white bread, stamped on the side with the couple’s wedding logo. The bread came wrapped in plastic so the logo was immediately visible, and the wedding information was printed on the cardboard part of the packaging. Surprisingly, the whole thing was much cheaper than traditional invitations.

“Even the company who helped us produce this said that this was the first time they’re doing this type of wedding invitation. Best part is it was half the price of paper invites. It was truly loaf at first sight,” Reyes says.

Although, bread wasn’t the couple’s first idea. They also talked about stamping tomatoes or bao with their logo instead, but bread was logistically and financially easier in the end.

While Reyes worried that her older guests may not be receptive to the unusual idea, the couple’s family and friends — not to mention Reyes’ followers — were into it. Reyes encourages more brides to follow suit.

“For those who commented about copying this idea — by all means. I would love to see more brides execute something unique, something offbeat, something out of the box. I think it’s a great experience not just for you but for all your guests.”
