Treats for the Hostess!
August 18th, 2008 @ 3:48 pm by Mrs. Coconut
Since I am the etiquette master, I made sure to bring some great gifts for the ladies who threw my bridal shower this weekend! On a side note, the bridal shower was amazing and I had the greatest time! I can’t wait to share pictures with you, once my sister downloads them!
I bought the girls some amazing body wash from Origins, some lip balm and foot petals from Dillard’s. Have you tried the foot petals?! Ohmigoodness, I love them!!! You should check them out, especially if you’re a frequent stiletto walker.
I wrapped all the goodies in tissue paper, and wrote them a thank you card.
Here is the box all green! I bought some white ribbon and some Martha Stewart gift tags from Michael’s. Aren’t these cute?
What did you get your bridal shower hostesses?

Super cute! I gave my shower hostesses umbrellas with their initials embroidered on them with a note that said: “I hope your next shower is as wonderful as mine was today!” Not the most original idea, but they loved it!
I gave my hostesses each a box of tea, a card I made, and either a candle or box of greeting cards. I wrapped it up in a pretty pink gift bag with chocolate and pink tissue paper, and a polka-dot ribbon. They were so pretty, if I do say so myself!
The foot petals are awesome. You hear about alot of things being “great” but foot petals really are. I use them in all my dress shoes and they save me hours of pain. I can enjoy the party.
Cute idea. I gave my two shower hostesses $120 gift certificates to 1154 Lill Studio to design their own handbags, after finding out about this great place on WeddingBee (thanks to Miss now Mrs. Tiramisu)!
I made a gift basket with one of the bags I’m using for out OOT bags and bought a book I know she wanted, a beach chair cell phone holder, some sweets, and a couple other trinkets
gave everyone a cutting board with initials

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!
My, my! You are the hostess with the mostest.
(Sorry, had to go there)
And I totally second your comment about the Foot Petals.
AMAZING!
It made shoes that I loved and tolerated the pain a zillion times better to use. I also used your suggestion (a while back) on looking up a coupon code for the purchase and it totally worked! Thanks!
