Our friends Steve and Suann will be getting married this fall! Congrats to them!
I wasn't sure what to get them, I was going to start with some pillowcases that I stamped and embroidered-everyone can use pillowcases! But unfortunately the stamp didn't work so well on the second pillow!
So..what to do...ah of course, a bear in their wedding colors!
Luckily I had those colors, and some butterfly fabric-and Jonesy was born! Then I created her card using a butterfly cut out from the Slice and ta da! Gifting was done and of course with something handmade!
I remember when I was a bride as much as I loved all my gifts, it was the handmade items from my great aunt and the church ladies that meant the most(ok and my antique cake plate Mom gave me!)
She loved him and he even got passed around the bridal shower last night :)
What an original idea! Must remember to tell my daughters that so that when one of their chums decides to tie the knot they can come to ColdhamCuddlies so that I can do a similar gift.
ReplyDeleteMust say, I do think "bridal parties" are a much more pleasant description, than "hen parties" which seem to be the rage over here. Mind you, we didn't have either when I got married 42 years ago cum September!
