{bachelorette gift bags}



The past weekend, I had my bachelorette party at The Parker with all my favorite ladies.  We had a truly great time sipping cocktails poolside and dancing the night away.  Before heading out to the desert, I put together some small gift bags as a "Thank You" for all my friends' hard work with my bridal shower and bachelorette planning.  I purchased some simple canvas tote bags and used iron-on transfer paper to affix a big red fabric heart on the side of each bag.  Then I filled each one with a mini champagne, lolita glasses, confetti and my favorite lipstick.







My girlfriends truly spoiled me this weekend.  I was surprised with a decorated hotel room, another set of fun gift bags, pink poufs for each girl to wear, champagne cocktails and of course, a veil to wear out on the town. Here are a few snapshots from our weekend....

  3. Hi elissa,

    The amazing pink poufs are made of chiffon and tulle. They were hand-made by one of my bridesmaids, Kay. You can contact her through her site here and inquire about a custom order:

    They are really fabulous- you definitely need to own one for yourself!

    1. hi there,

      I used iron-on transfer paper. You can find some here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004XM26EY/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B004XM26EY&linkCode=as2&tag=minlovsocclu-20 or at your local fabric store.

      hope that helps!
