Did you hear yet?!
I’m engaged!
While traveling to a family reunion in Idaho, Alex and I stopped in Zion for a quick visit…
Little did I know that he was going to get down on one knee and ask me to spend the rest of my life with him.
And of course I said yes 🙂
Apparently all my close family and friends already knew… He even asked my parents for “permission” to propose, which I thought was such the gentleman thing to do since my parents are very old fashioned.
Now I’m in the stages of planning my first wedding on a budget…
There’s no date or venue picked out yet, though we may have something in the works (more on that later).
First things first, gotta ask my bridesmaids to be a part of the wedding!
Of course, Liz is my maid of honor so I had her help in making these cute bridesmaid gifts to ask them to be in the wedding. We stuck with the colors that I’m using for my wedding theme – turquoise and a little bit of pink. You can see more on my Pinterest board here.
All in all these took about 5 minutes to assemble & put together and only about $30 total for all 4 boxes.
Here’s what we used:
- small gift boxes (found these at Michael’s for $2 each)
- pink lipstick or nail polish (found the cutest lip color at the Dollar Store 🙂 )
- single shot alcohol (bought at Bevmo)
- earrings (bought these in a pack from Walmart)
- small cards & envelopes (found at Michael’s for $5)
- shredded paper or tissue paper for stuffing
- ribbon for tying the boxes shut
- script stickers for each girl’s name (found at Michael’s for $3)
Each girl got a bottle of gin, a pink lipstick, a pair of earrings and a card.
Now neither one of us have beautiful script or calligraphy skills so we went the safe route… Printable cards & stickers!
