Cupcakes Wrappers You Can Actually Afford

I like to think that cupcakes have magical powers to make someone's day a little better.  Whenever J. brings me home a french toast cupcake from our local cupcakery, it makes me a happy, happy wifey.



So when I saw these adorable laser cut wrappers from NY Cake, I was utterly smitten.  Just look!  Does this make you want to eat cupcakes, make cupcakes, and serve cupcakes at every wedding from now until forever?!  (Click on images for their tasty sources!)

Just one problem (or, as I prefer to say, challenge)... this are kind of pricey for a non-essential wedding item.  What's a girl-on-a-budget to do?  Hit up some DIY cupcake wrapper tutorials, of course!
