My Sister In-Law's Shower

We have had so much fun planning my sister in-law's shower and bachelorette parties for her wedding May 31st! Her wedding is all about PINK so we took full advantage of using this popular color for her shower!

We started the shower celebration with the classy English Mix Invitations. We sipped on pink punch in pink cups and nibbled on homemade pink petite-fours! The bride wore a pink "Bride to Be" Sash with her 'something blue' dress!








Adorning the favor table were little pink boxes filled with chocolate kisses!










We tied the cute boxes up in white ribbon personalized with their wedding names and date.










Guests signed in with the Bridal Shower Guest Book and the maid of honor wrote down all the wonderful gifts she received!

The bachelorette party was this past weekend in St. Louis! Our invitations were sent to let everyone know the theme of a Girl's Day Out. We had such a great time!

We started with a mini spa day. While the guests were getting facials, the bridesmaids gave the bride a spa robe embroidered with a pink threaded "Bride" to have for her special day.







We also gave her the "i do" wedding garter she has been wanting for her wedding day! Now, she has 'Something Blue' to wear on her wedding day - How cute!







The day ended when all the bridesmaids and friends signed a special Signature Vase we filled with her favorite pink roses! It was a great way to celebrate our good friend and sister getting married! Congratulations Robyn!

DIY Wedding Favor Ideas

Times are tough right now, but don't nix your wedding favors to save money! We've come up with some great DIY Wedding Favor Ideas that are easy to create with a little time and a little budget. All of the components for the favors can be found on our website, Wedding Distinctions, or you can look at your local Michael's or Hobby Lobby too.

Think Outside The Box


This modern, fresh and original favor looks expensive, but is very simple and inexpensive to create. To create this look you will need any size favor box, two sizes of ribbon, map pins and starch. Transform your favor boxes into a striking organic sculpture by starching and forming double-sided ribbon pieces and securing with a single map pin. Don't forget to add your favorite treat to your favor boxes for a sweet surprise!

Sweet Surprise


The ever popular Candy Bar is a fun and interactive way for your guests to feel appreciated! To create this "sweet" favor idea simply purchase different size glass vases, some candy scoops and tongs and of course you and your sweeties favorite candies to fill them with. You will also need something for your guests to put their goodies in and we suggest either organza favor bags, chinese take-out boxes or simple cellophane bags. Stamp or use a sticker with your logo or "Thank You" for an extra special touch. This favor idea is a great way to incorporate your wedding day colors too!

Love in Bloom


Perfect for Spring/Summer weddings or green weddings, these favors are the gift that keep on giving! Fill miniature watering cans or galvanized pails with either a planted flower or some seed packets for a beautiful wedding favor. Wrap personalized ribbon around each pail or add a cute favor tag for a perfect presentation.



Tip of the Week: You can find wedding favors for any price and make them look great with a little imagination and a little work!
