Bridal Shower Prep

This evening, my mom and I were busily preparing Bridal Shower Kits. My cousin, Shannon, is having a bridal shower on Saturday...and Shannon loves to scrapbook. So, we are shopping in our warehouse of thousands of scrapbook products to create one-page kits for shower attendees to put together during the event. Whew! It's so much work...but it's the kind of fun work we live for.

So, each kit will have a custom laser title in it, with the attendee's name. These kits--which also contain stickers, ribbon, coordinating print and cardstock papers--will serve as place card holders. The theme is a "Mad Hatter Tea Party", so we've got all kinds of adorable papers...lots of fun, zany prints and some Heidi Grace and Brenda Walton to give it some much-needed femininity.

We are also excited about using some brand new EK Success Tea Party embellishments that we should get in any day now. We will have them up on Paper.com as soon as possible...mini tea napkins and "tea for two" sayings...so cute.

Each bridal shower attendee will put together a page based on the phrase "Things to Remember..." So whether they want to share marital advice or a funny memory they have with the bride, they can scrap away. At the end of the shower, we will put each page in an album, and hand it to the bride.

We will be sure to take pictures of the finished album and post them when we get back from the trip. I hope this works well...we'll let you know if it does work...so you can try it too!

Here's to being a bridesmaid AND a scrapbooker!
