Recently, we hosted a wedding shower for one of my best
friends. Here are a few of the pictures from the big event with some
descriptions of what you’re seeing. Enjoy!
Our present to Brett & Sarah was a gift basket with a gift for
each day of the week leading up to the wedding (7 gifts). The gifts were
numbered to signify which day to open them with a card that explained
the rest… Each card included the date to open and a hint of what was
inside. For example: “Hats off to the Bride and Groom” was the hint for
the first day, and the present included 2 hats (a white one with Bride
embroidered on it, and a Black one with Groom on it).
All of the gifts were usable additions for the finishing touches of
the wedding. The last present being a bottle of Prosecco and two wine
glasses reading “Cheers, now sit back, relax, & enjoy!”
The two presents out front are Bride & Groom survival kits that can be found HERE. We wanted Sarah and Brett to have something to open AT the shower, as well as, the week before presents.
We framed a poem that explained what the gift was. I didn’t want to
look like the crazy women that numbers gifts… that would be weird.
Lanterns lined the entrance to the house. Initials were placed on the
ones leading up the stairs. Engagement rings were placed on the
lanterns by the front benches. (Please excuse the extremely cute dog)
Lantern. Love.
Loved our flower arrangements flanked by votives… Pink and Periwinkle were the colors and Twigs did a great job matching them.
Here comes the bride…
To all those B’s marrying S’s- Remember, the S needs to come first…
Otherwise, it might get a little Hairy, and that’s just a bunch of BS!
Last but not least, we sent our guests home with a searcy. Two
Dunkin’ Donuts- YUM! Please take a moment to admire my masterful pyramid
stacking abilities… right hand over left shoulder and I’ll pat that
back!
That concludes the picture tour. Thanks for stoppin’ by!
Love all the decorations! Especially the lanterns!

I love this idea! what your the other presents?!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea! I want to do something like this for one of my best friends upcoming wedding. I am a bridesmaid but unfortunatly I can not make it to the out of town wedding due to a personal medical issue. This would be a perfect gift to send to her to help her with the wedding stress since I can not be there. I love the Hats off the the bride and groom gift, I'm thinking their favorite sports team, and the wine. What are some of your other ideas? I would greatly appreciate the help! Thank you!
