Program
My one DIY - OOT boxes that have water, snacks, extra maps & a welcome note.
Along with the jewelry, BMs will get a bunch of fun stuff (Harry & David snacks, flips, little album, mints and individual gifts like the stationary and the garden in a bag) in a tote bag as well as the purses in the next pic. Got the readers a Coach bookmark. HairThink I'll be going with something simple like this. OtherMy parents will offer an open house in between ceremony and reception with champagne and a white chocolate/treat table. Rehearsal DinnerMy rehearsal dinner attire. Rehearsal dinner location. Klassy pic of Electrobride & me getting our drink on at my bachelorette party. My sis found a Melissa Sweet dress at TJ Maxx for $18 that they made me wear while opening gifts. Hilarious. No, I did not wear it out that night. Shower "High Tea"My shower was so fabulous! Everyone got to take home the cute teapot.
