Goodie bags for the pint-sized guests

I asked the boys what we needed at the wedding to make it a good party. It was unanimous. "Goodie bags." Apparently only the cool parties have goodie bags. I did three different versions. One each for the small kids (4 and under), the medium kids (6 and 7) and the big kids (10 and older).

They were a huge hit! Just look at Hank sporting his mustache and beard!

Everyone got:
A notepad with activities (each age group's was a little different)
A plastic monster finger puppet (boys picked these out!)
Ring pop
Glow bracelet
Snack (fishies, chips, squeezy applesauce)
Parachute guys- 2 sizes
A mustache and/or beard
Personalized crayons or pens
Disguises (fake glasses on a dowel, fake lips, etc)

Little kids also got:
Playdough
Puzzle
YoYo
Big fake diamond rings for the girls

Medium kids also got:
Metal puzzle
Foam stickers and sheets
YoYo
Kaleidoscope
2 plastic puzzles/games

Big kids also got:
Wood puzzle
Marker
2 plastic puzzles/games

Treats for the babies (fishies and squeezy applesauce)

Wedding Wednesday

Since I've been helping my sister plan her wedding, I've been introduced to the beautiful world of wedding blogs and it's a little addicting. I won't blog about what my sister is deciding on, but I'll try to do a weekly post on some fun wedding ideas. 'Cause, you never know... I could get married again someday!

Emerald Fields Kisslock clutch and Bow-topped slingbacks from Anthropologies BHLDN

Ampersand letterpress wedding suite by Mitchell and Dent, available here
Groom's suit from Banana Republic (sorry he's so small, not to say he's not just as important as the bride, just not as pretty with pretty sparkling accessories)

Where the heck have I been?

Last week I was too busy to post. My sister is GETTING MARRIED! And she's letting me help plan! I haven't had a lot of excuse to search through wedding blogs. Until now. And the flood gates are open. I'll try to control myself, but I'm very excited! I just love this engagement ring. Lovely etsy seller. Conflict-free diamonds. Very romantic and unique.

Posts this week will (hopefully) be decidedly un-wedding-like. I will keep the details under wraps until the big day! Look forward to:

- A really amazing little girl birthday party (When does Katie turn 4?)
- A $50 living room makeover (mine!)
- If you love...
- Valentine's ideas  oops. Guess I'm a little too late on this one!

Happy Monday!
