I've been engaged for over 4 months now, and I STILL don't understand many things about weddings. I've never been in a wedding, planned a wedding, or much less been a BRIDE before. (It already feels like I'm married, so at least I have that part down) So all these traditional 'things' you are supposed to do, I generally do not understand them. Needless to say, I have been doing EVERYTHING out of order. What some would call jumping the gun, I call "doing all the fun stuff first." Got my dress (on the first try!) and venue, but I haven't even asked all of my attendants to their specific jobs yet! I knew I wanted to do something special for them, as a pre- thank you for having to spend money and put up with me - gift, and with me.. it always has to be personalized. So, I FINALLY got around to getting their gifts done, and I will present them to you here:
I mean seriously, how cute did these turn out? I made the cards, and then personalized the little half-covers with 4 of my favorite photos of each of us, hung them on pendant banner style, and I think they turned out adorable!
I only got pictures of 3 of them because I gave the other two away too fast! Oops! I'm planning on selling just the card design on Etsy, so check back for details on that!
With the cards, I gave the girls a present I KNEW I wanted for the wedding, wire hangers with their names on it. I think that is such a memorable gift, and can be used (or saved) forever by the girls. They just have to keep track of them until the wedding! I order mine from this Etsy shop. I highly recommend them, they came quick and are very professional!
Here is one last picture of all the hangers together. Let the official wedding madness begin!
