One thing I am so glad we did during our wedding weekend was taking the time to thank our loved ones.
Our rehearsal was at 4:30PM and the rehearsal dinner didn’t start until 8PM, so it gave us a chance to have some sparkling wine delivered to the Terrace (made by Mr. Peep, no less):
And a chance for us to toast to our peeps:
Mr. Peep gave the men their ties for the big day, lovingly wrapped by Mama Peep, I might add:
We think they were a hit:
And he also gave the groomsmen their reception Connies to match his own:
I gave my ladies their earrings, clutches and wraps:
Which was totally fun because they were totally blown over by my clutch making skills!!
And of course, we gave the little ones their gifts:
My favorite part was giving our flower girls matching necklaces with their initialS on the front, and ’Love, Auntie Peep’ on the back. You can see them wearing them here:
They loved them, but I think they loved the bracelets and cool magnet thingy that Mama Peep picked out for them even more:
And it gave us a chance for some great pre-wedding family pictures. The Peep clan (minus the napping nephews):
I think we clean up pretty well. What do you guys think of Papa Peep’s stylin’ suspenders??
And the Peeps with FIL and Step-MIL Peep:
Overall the weather was beyond perfect, and it was so amazing to recognize all the important people in our lives, even if just for a second.
How are you recognizing your wedding day peeps?
Up next, the rehearsal dinner.

Great shots! I love that you were able to do all this on the Terrace after the rehearsal!
You made your own clutches?? How???
Great photos! What a fun group and what great gifts. Are those Magna Tiles that the kiddos have? Those things are the best! My preschool class is obsessed with them!
Those suspenders certainly are stylin’!
Was there a previous post on those clutches? They are too cute!
Your friend and family look so happy. Thanking them is important. My FI and I will probably do something similar. Did you post a DIY for the clutches? I want to learn!
Your clutches are AWESOME! So cute 
I really wish I’d gotten around to making mine… Oh well something to do for Christmas 
What a great idea to set aside some private time to thank the people closest to you. We have a gap between our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner too, so I think I’ll be shamelessly stealing the idea from you.
P.S. The clutches turned out great!
Your husband works for Billecart-Salmon? Can I come live with y’all? I would kill for a case of the vintage Rose. I didn’t realize they produced anything in the States. How neat!
I love that in the pictures you can totally tell the weather was awesome!!
Hey Ladies, go happy you love my clutches, check out my post about them here:

Such nice pictures of the memories! Love the stylin’ suspenders. I guess we all have that one thing Dad won’t appear without…i can count on my Dad having his boots and cowboy hat I’m sure.
how fun! Our gift giving was sort of awkward and went under the radar. You guys got some really cute shots!
I’m still in awe of Mr. Peep’s wine-making skillz and your clutch-making skillz. You are two people I would LOVE to know in real life!
I love those suspenders! I’m gonna make my fiance wear a pair like those for our wedding!
those clutches are so awesome - and the lil bags for the lil girls are so cute!
@KateMW: Ha ha, you totally caught me stealing a picture from earlier, but I do promised that Mr. Peeps bubbly is just as amazing!
That’s so nice that you guys had time to relax and hang out before dinner!
