2 Weddings for the Price of 1 Bee!
July 2nd, 2008 @ 6:11 pm by Mrs. Coconut
When I applied to be a bee, I never thought to mention that my sister would be getting married four months before me, but it’s turned out to be quite a great thing to blog about for me! Plus, you can only take so much of the Coconut wedding, right?! 
(That was a test!)
So, I’m packing right now for Sister Coconut’s wedding. One of her bridesmaids is picking me up in three hours to drive over to Jacksonville, where my sister will surrender the last name we’ve shared for so many years. It’s been a privilege to be her Maid of Honor, and I can’t wait for the big day. In the meantime, I’ll share a couple of projects I’ve been working on these last few days. You’re getting the exclusive, because the bride hasn’t even seen them yet!
Sister Coconut and Mr. Sister Coconut
Here is the schedule I made for the bridesmaids. I also made some for the groomsmen, but they are much less feminine. I actually printed them out onto business card sized cards, so they could easily stash them in their wallets!
Here are the tags I made for the sparklers that will going into the OOT bags. It’s the same design I made for the front of their bags. We bought the ribbon from Michael’s.
See you back here on Monday! Have a happy 4th of July!!

Ditto on the business cards = Brilliant!
Congrats to Sister Coconut!
That sparkler tag is adorable! It’s kind of nice that you are getting a wedding run through before your own wedding! Hope Sister Coconut has a fantastic wedding day.
I fourth the business card love Gotta remember that idea!
Oooooo I love the wording on the sparkler tags! So cute! I am definitely stashing away this idea to use at my wedding! =)
Can you do a blog about creating these things? I really am so clueless at DIY and I love the sparkler tags especially

About Me: I never thought about weddings until I got engaged. Now, I can't stop thinking about them! Planning the wedding has really opened the floodgates to my DIY side. If there's anything I can do to avoid hiring someone else, I will do it! Mr. Coconut is my financial advisor, he tries to keep me budget-conscious! We've tried to make wedding planning a team effort!
That’s such a good idea to put the groomsmen info on business cards! I may be stealing that idea
