Ok...this was for a baby shower, but we're thinking it's kind of a cool departing prize for a wedding as well. Diggin' the citrus theme of this event to this day, and what an unusual idea for a gift!
When Laura hosted a baby shower here at the chapel this summer, she chose the perfect 'citrus' theme that was really refreshing and fun. The basket in the photograph is little soaps with a special message and it got us to thinking, that wouldn't be a bad departing prize for wedding favors. Many of you know (and we tell our brides this all the time!) that we're not really fans of 'departing prizes', since it's just one more thing for the bride to have to mess with, sometimes they're lame, and frankly, you've already food and wined your guests at a very special ceremony and reception, so that seems like a gift enough to us. However, that being said, we always grant our brides every wish possible. If a bride were going to give a favor, I'm thinking a custom blended soap would be a pretty cool thing. They could either use it, or keep it in their bathroom as a memory from an excellent wedding. The part we like is that it's a useful gift, no matter how you look at it. Bar soaps are a frequent gift item, and we're working through our own collection, since it's really stacked up over the last few years. The english soaps are super coolio, and so are the french fragranced versions. Soap + Water = Clean! :) It's a winnah, winnah, chicken dinnah all the way around!
Hope you can join us for the October 6 and October 13th events for charity at the chapel. More details available at 254 718 0680. Have a blessed and bountiful day!
