So, for my M.O.H. Bridesmaid Proposal/Welcome to the Bride Tribe parcel, I had designed a some pretty graphic-related things (looked like nebulas and planets) and order it printed as large sticker to wrap around the sides of a glass container as well as a personalized designed card. Getting that sort of printing done was not expensive as it was just a couple items and I came in way under budget for the goodies inside, so why not?
The copy and print centre told my 2-3 business days then decided that the twice the original time they said it would take wasn't enough to get it finished. I told them I needed it for this weekend as it is the only time I know I will see my sister, who I am asking to be M.O.H., in person for a while, and they said they would transfer to be there on Friday. Fine, good, I thought, no need to panic...until it went to the wrong store. The only of their locations closed weekends, and the mix up was only discovered AFTER that particular store half-way across the city closed on Friday.
I still have the container so no worries, right? That held true until it got dropped and broke. With two hours really free today to come up with something for packaging (including a quick trip to the local craft store), I was able to put together somethingfor our visit tomorrow. Not what I envisioned, but I think it has its own cute very handmade charm. I tried to keep some of the star/space idea. Hopefully she'll like it...if not, she'll get a giggle out of the story! (Hopefully, some of you might too)
Thankfully, I had all the goodies to put in made up and purchased well in advance! None of my Bride Tribe like or can drink alcohol, so I decided on handmade gifts. My sister is a chef by trade and is starting a YouTube Channel (She wants to name it Crazy Chef, thus the lettering) in the near future. She's also obsessed with minions, which worked well as the wedding colours as gold and blue. Getting to sew the chef hats and apron was a fun DIY sewing project for me...Rounded it out with some goodies from Lush and Chocolate for good measure. :-)
Learned a good lesson for doing the other two Bride Tribe boxes even if they are going to be customized to the person.
