Bridal Shower Favors

My mom threw me such a beautiful bridal shower on October 6th. It was a garden party theme that she had planned almost a year in advance. She bought little watering cans at Target during their after Christmas sale. She attached cute ribbon and a tag to make them fit it with the theme. Of course, that wasn't enough! My mom searched Pinterest for another favor idea. My mom found a hand scrub recipe on Pinterest that we used to create the second half of my bridal shower favors. To view the recipe we followed, click here. To follow my instructions, continue reading :)

You will need a cute jar. My mom got the 4oz jars that we used at Walmart. We filled the jars 3/4 full of sugar. Then we added Dawn dish soap. I'm sure all of you crazy coupon ladies have a ton of the Dawn dish soap with hand renewal laying around. Use that to fill the jar until it reaches just below the bottom of the mouth of the jar. Then stir until the sugar and hand soap are evenly mixed. We added a cute piece of fabric and twine to match the garden party theme!

Everyone seemed to really enjoy their favors. They are also cute as Christmas gifts! If you plan on making your own gardeners hand scrub make sure to come back and let me know how it turned out!

My Bridal Shower!


My mom threw me such a wonderful bridal shower at our home on October 6, 2012! We planned for weeks and were running around like crazy people to get everything ready the day of. As soon as everyone showed up, the sky began to fall! The rain did not let up until everyone left, of course! Because of the rain we were not able to take many pictures because we were too busy trying to make all of our outside plans work indoors! Note to self, always have a close friend taking pictures for you. That way you can enjoy the day and have pictures to prove that your event really happened! A side from all the crazy mishaps, we all had a wonderful time! David and I received so many beautiful gifts that we could not be more grateful for! I hope you enjoy the few photos we did take and make sure to check out the vlog I put together right here! :)
