hola chicas!
my mom is helping me finish up the bridesmaids' gifts, which is great! buuuuut i really want to do something special for my parents on the day of the wedding....at first i thought of doing embroidered handkerchiefs with a personal note??
but the more i think of it i'm not sure? i could do hankies for grandparents and my aunt, too (who is close to me), but then do i need to do that for my fiance's gparents?? i'm not that close to them, but i don't want them to get offended, and probably the gifts would be given privately?
also, i found (through this site, so thanks to whomever for the tip!) spa wraps on Smarty Pants Boutique (not on the website yet though) that I though about adding to the bmaids' bags, but my mom and aunt would love those, too!!
any suggestions? thanks girls, y'all are amazing!

I bought both my mother, my FMIN and myself the spa wraps and the cosmetic bags.
Obviously the dad's probably won't like that but Joy (smartypants boutique) has travel bags (think guys call them Dob Kits... I know I probably spelled that wrong). That could work for the guys, especially if they travel.

I ordered the Spa Wraps and Cosmetic Bags last week, 8 each. Gave her free artistic reign as long as they are hot pink/lime green/white colors. Joy thought I would have them in the next week or so. When I get them in the mail I will take pictures. :)
