Consumable wedding invites delighted the guests of Miguel Sotto and Jazmin Reyes before the celebration even began.
For the wedding of Miguel Sotto and Jazmin Reyes, the goal was to be the antithesis of a typical wedding, and that mindset extended to the guests’ first touchpoint: the invitations. “I knew I wanted invitations that really made an impression and weren’t just something you throw away,” the bride shares. “I’ve seen numerous paper wedding invitations just end up in the trash, so I wanted my money’s worth.” Her solution? Something delicious that would be nearly impossible to discard unless it was, quite literally, consumed. The couple initially explored ideas like butter candles and baos, but eventually decided that, given the Filipino heat and the realities of delivery logistics, bread would be the most practical and most meaningful medium.
Bread, after all, is one of the most universal expressions of sharing: something broken, passed around, and enjoyed together at the table. “I think the bread represents both of us as a couple. We wanted to execute something out of the ordinary and useful. We also wanted our guests to really feel the care from both of us and also entice them to come to celebrate with us because the location is a bit of a drive,” she says with a laugh.

Miguel Sotto And Jazmin Reyes Write Their Loaf Story In Bread
To bring the idea to life, Jazmin worked with her planners, the Bridal Brand Bible team, as well as Daniel Baker, who she says took care of everything from the start. One of the biggest challenges was the printing process—translating their wedding logo onto loaves required intricate laser-cut techniques and chrome stamping, all carefully balanced to keep production cost-efficient while still maintaining a substantial, gift-worthy loaf.
The result was a bold, edible invitation that arrived at guests’ doors with playful bread puns like “bready or not, here we go” and “we would loaf to have you there,” alongside a QR code containing all the wedding details.
They initially worried about how it would be received, especially by older, more traditional guests, but the response was overwhelmingly positive. Many asked for extras, while others checked when theirs would arrive after seeing it on social media. On the wedding day itself, guests were still asking about the bread and whether it would be served. In the end, it quite literally became something to be shared just like the celebration itself.
