Tonight Mr. Bloom is attending a Stag for one of his friends up in Whistler.
I have the night to myself!  I can stay up as late as I want!  =D
Unfortunately, I’m not as peppy as I once was and am feeling much too lazy after a challenging work week.
Fortunately, my Bridal Shower Thank You cards have arrived.

Set of 50 cards and 50 envelopes
Bright white notes with silver ink lettering on the front that says
“Thank YOU for the shower gift” and they are blank inside

The cards with envelopes cost me about $20 CAD.  I got yet another great deal on eBay even with shipping.  I could have made them myself but I’m bogged down in wedding DIY projects already.  Plus, I would still have to buy envelopes.  I am happy with my purchase!

I have thanked everyone personally for their present after gift opening time at the shower.  However, it’s not enough nowadays.  People expect Thank You cards for wedding events.  Since I’m one to dot my i’s and cross my t’s, I’m not taking any chances with making any Etiquette…

Here are pics of our Bridal Shower Giveaway prototype.
The glass is from our collection of glasses and not the IKEA snaps glasses.
It’s funny how the grapes and vine etching makes the beaded accent look like a snake!
Or perhaps I’ve been reading too much from the Book of Genesis looking for a reading for our wedding ceremony. =)

We’ll be having my bridal shower in a week’s time.
We’re having the shower and the bachelorette party on the same day.
There are so many weddings, bridal showers and baby showers to attend this year that I thought this would be the most practical.  Unfortunately, the only weekend available is the August long weekend so some people aren’t able to make it.  =(

 The theme of the bridal shower is “June Cleaver’s Tea party & Luncheon”.
The bachelorette party follows right after with the younger set.  The theme is “Burlesque Dolls”.  We’re going to have a pole dancing / lap dancing class.  More on that in a later post!

One of my bridesmaids, Miss Amaranthes, came up with an awesome idea for the Bridal Shower favours.  We didn’t want to go with the usual candy, candle or soaps giveaways.  My girls know me well.  I’m all for doing something a little more creative.  More fun that way for everyone!  Of course we wanted to do something that didn’t take forever to do either.   Her idea was to give martini glasses…
