Mrs. Moonbeam's Picture
Mrs. Moonbeam, Los Angeles/San Antonio Age and Occupation: 26, Intern Architect Fiance's Age and Occupation: 26, Studio Analyst, aspiring Screenwriter Engagement Date: May 20, 2009 Wedding Date: November 2009 Venue: Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church (LaCoste, TX) and Mary Gray Events Center (Castroville, TX) About Me: I was born and raised in Texas, but after college I moved to Seattle for a couple of years and loved it. Then I followed my beau out here to LA and we're getting settled in. I've been making things since I can remember. I was raised by crafters. I love to sew, draw, paint, build, cook, bake (anything with a tangible end result is fair game). In that same spirit, I've been hosting since I was old enough to cook and set a fancy table. I kind of take after my grandmother, who believes that your morning OJ always tastes better out of the good crystal.
About Mrs. Moonbeam

Mr. Moonbeam got his guys flasks with their initials monogrammed on them. It’s standard, I know, but the guys loved them and used them immediately. We picked ours up at Things Remembered.

Mr. Moonbeam’s brother (his best man) got the deluxe kit below. It came in a nice box and we had his first name put on the plaque.

My ladies got some cute little items from Ulta along with some bronze necklaces from Macy’s. Ulta was having a sale and you could pick up stocking stuffers at the great price of 5 for $5. They got lotion, a mini makeup brush kit, nail polish, lip gloss and a nail file.

I might have to use some of those leftover gift cards on this.

I picked them up at Claire’s for 8 bucks each. They were filled with some Ulta loot as well: sparkly silver nail polish, a mirror, some lip gloss and very pale eyeshadow (don’t want those little kiddies looking too made up). The older girls also got an awesome candy necklace kit and the littlest flower girl got some Dora the Explorer candy. The candy necklace kit was such a big hit; my bridesmaids were a tad jealous.

Since he made his Grandpa dig right in, I think it was a good choice.

In the end, they were pretty standard gifts, but at that final push, you’re too tired to reinvent the wheel and everyone seemed pretty pleased.

Does anyone else have trouble gifting boys/men? I never have a clue.

we got our guys etched beer glasses. Seriously I don’t know what we would have gotten them except knives or alcohol paraphernalia!

I totally forgot about the Ulta 5 for $5 - I may have to take a trip over there and see if there’s anything we can add to our OOT bags.

I can never gift men. Seriously. Even Cam can sometimes be difficult!
