The journal provides a prompt for each day, with enough space for two people to write their one-sentence response. Over the three-year period, the couple can see the ways in which they have grown, changed, and perhaps even stayed the same.
DIY Bridal Shower Gifts
She will need a safe place to rest her new rings while exercising or showering. This DIY was intended to be used during the wedding ceremony, but I suggest you omit the holes and the string and make it a one of a kind ring dish. This DIY requires only oven bake clay and letter stamps and will take approximately 2 hours from start to finish.
The bride-to-be will be so excited to see what little surprises await her while leading up to the big day. This is a great way to make a big impact for little money, especially if you share the gift gathering duties with other shower attendees. All you need is a cork or foam board, push pins, some cute gift wrap, and 15 little gifts.
This straightforward craft can be used as part of the wedding and then after as home decor. Some pliers and one 25 foot coil of copper wire is enough to make a Bride and Groom script sign. Add a bit of nice ribbon and the happy couple can hang these from their chairs at the reception.
Thank You Note Help
Help out the busy bride with a head start on sending out Thank You notes. You can order classy
Personalized Thank You Notes from Etsy seller ArtsyNikki with the name of the bride and groom. Just add a book of
stamps or even take the step to pre-stamp the envelopes. If you are feeling really ambitious, you can print out return address labels for the bride and groom too. Just go to your local office supply or crafts store for printable adhesive labels. Package everything up in a cute box with a nice pen and the bride will be ready to write!
