My future sister-in-law asked me to be a bridesmaid in her upcoming wedding to my husband’s brother, and of course, I said yes. Everyone in the family already loves her, and although I’m really looking forward to playing a part in her special day, I think I’m even more excited to help her celebrate all of those special bride-to-be milestones along the way: choosing the perfect theme for her bridal shower, scouting the best location for a bachelorette party, and of course, dress-shopping! It’s going to be so much fun helping plan occasions that are truly memorable, and it certainly won’t hurt that as a Big Dot of Happiness employee, I have a plethora of unique, fantastic party supplies at my fingertips, as well as access to ideas and tips from hundreds of party-planning customers! (Hint, hint: Check out our Facebook page for access to these handy tips and even customer-submitted event photos!)

As it is in most cases, dress shopping was the first big event to be planned, and I had the perfect favor to help commemorate the occasion: Pink and Brown Modern Purse Manicure Sets personalized with our Bridal Shower and Wedding Die-Cut Card Stock Tags! I knew the conservative bride-to-be wouldn’t want an over-the-top gift handed out that day, but one that was fun yet tasteful would really be appreciated.  So I purchased a handful of these handy, purse-size manicure sets designed to look like stylish little purses, then added an extra-special touch by slipping a personalized die-cut card stock tag over the bow that comes already tied around each set! Surprising the bride-to-be with a trendy yet practical gift that everyone in that day’s outing could actually take home and use was a huge success, and I can’t wait to start planning her bridal shower!
