While listening to my pharm lectures last night, I worked on a new project (new in that I hadn't started it yet, but was an idea I saved a while back!). Personalized activity books for kids at the reception. I had a bunch of pictures and random things saved, so I printed everything out last night! I don't know how to attach the document, so I'll just show you a few of the pages:
So I couldn't get lots of the coloring pages cause they are saved in word, but you get the idea. A few mazes, crosswords, coloring pages, and a mini story at the beginning about the wedding and reception. I covered my sample starter one with purple cardstock and taped a cheesy clip art couple on the front with the words "Sean and Candice's wedding activity book"
It was Nico approved, so hopefully the kids will like them (AKA stay busy during all the toasts). Sean's grandma is going to help me sew the kids bags with the damask fabric I bought way back before I just bought the table squares super cheap. And I have boxes of 8 crayons to put a label over then that part is done!
The plan is to put some baggies of goldfish/cheerios/snacks and a juice box or something too. And I bought purple mardi gras beads~ basically just cause I couldn't help myself, so each of the kids will get one of those.
Oh- and of course the kids scavenger hunt! We've decided against the disposable cameras on each table, but I still want to give each of the kids one with their postcard I printed from vistaprint. Mostly cause I think that would be too fun and I love it when kids take pictures =) I guess these bags may have to be slightly bigger than I thought! (See how helpful this blog is for me?!?)
~On another note, one shoe disaster and one shoe victory!! The ivory heels with the bow on the side (picture 1 from below) is a total no go. Too platform and uncomfortable- a shame cause they looked SO perfect online. But the PURPLE with the awesome diamante heel~ totally perfect- and the color is SO much better in person! Slightly big on me, but like my mom told me- my foot will get fat with summer heat, so I should be ok =) I don't think she would have said it if she knew it would support my purple shoes... But I did go ahead and order the same shoes in ivory, so assuming they are the same, they should fit too. And they're suprisingly easy to walk in (and will be SO perfect for those pictures where they put your rings on the heel of the shoes...To die for!) I know my mom will have a mini heart attack from my slip, so I think the shoes might result in a full on hospital visit. Hence the ivory shoes and the purple. I have time to figure it out, right?
Can adults color if they want to? I <3 coloring. I'm glad the shoe crisis is almost over. I can't wait to see the shoes!
ReplyDeletewhat is the slip?
ReplyDeleteniki- I'm guessing you commented on this before seeing the earlier post with the giant picture of my purple slip (aka crinoline)~ Nobody in non-wedding land knows what I'm talking about when I say crinoline, so I've been calling it a slip...=) Thats what I was talking about though!
