WELCOME CARD/FAVOR oot bags were not in my budget and i didn't want to add another suitcase just for these. so i created this card that includes a welcome note, matrix of all my guests arrival/departure dates and times, and reminder of wedding day festivities. sinamay bag is full of my fiances favorite gummy bears. ESCORT CARDS TABLE SETTING please ignore my dish rag that i used as a napkin for this photo! hopefully i'll have my photog take better shots of these. please pray for sunny skies in cancun next monday, july 12th, my wedding day! i refuse to have traveled to a different country to have my wedding in a ball room holler if you have questions

Did you buy everything at Micheals, i love the box.
