One of the best parts of coming home from our honeymoon, besides sleeping in our own bed and having clean laundry again, was that we finally got to open our wedding gifts! What wonderful, thoughtful, and generous friends and family we have! We were given so many lovely gifts, but three that stood out for us are a quilt, our wedding invitation framed for us, and a bottle of Dom Perignon! Check these out:

This quilt was made by my BFF’s mom for us. It is so beautiful, and I can’t believe that she went to that much trouble for us! She even matched it to our invites!

I was so touched when we opened up the beautiful wrapping and saw this note:

Here it is all spread out:

And the back:

The next gift is from my SIL’s mom, the same lady who made our wonderful wedding cake! So, not only did she work really hard for months making us the perfect wedding cake, but she did this as well!

Isn’t that wonderful? I love that she included our personalized stamps as well as the invite. So thoughtful of her!

And finally, the most fun gift to open was this bottle of Dom Perignon and champagne flutes from my aunt and her family. Mr. P and I will pretend we are high rollers one night and crack that baby open! Maybe on our first night in our new home…

What sorts of wonderful and touching gifts are those of you who have been getting married in the past few weeks getting? Is anyone working on a gift like these for a wedding you are attending as a guest this summer?
