We Met in a Bar

501

I always tell myself I will do a contest or something fun for my big posts. Well, turns out the veil post was number 500. woo hoo. :)  

anyways, this is number 501 (yay!) and it is all about the maids. Kind of.

I am struggling over what to get my bridesmaids. Jewelry? A clutch? If it was me I would want personalized letter-pressed stationary. But that is just me. And apparently not everyone is infatuated with letterpress (I know, I was surprised too).  I’ve got a pretty good list going on my wishpot right about now. You can see it here. Some of my favorite choices right now are…

So many choices… Wishpot is great for making lists like these. I also have lists for me, around the house, things to wear (yes it is all J. Crew, I know :) ). It is good for lists. Although I will say it isn’t the best for using as a wish list/registry type of thing because you have to be a registered member in order to have it pop up that you purchased anything. Or something like that. We will just say that I got the same sweater from both my mother and my future mother in law because one of them wasn’t a registered member so she couldn’t see that it had been bought. Or something like that. Whatever. Basically, it is WONDERFUL for making lists :)

Have fun with the bridesmaids gifts! I had seven so of course they were all different. So I kind of tailored toward each of them. It was really fun to shop that way. I didn’t have to worry about one not wearing a certain color metal or someone not carrying clutches.

love the earrings and the ring. But I too would definitely go for the letterpress!

Love the earrings and the ring. Like you, I too would definitely go for the letterpress for myself!!

I love those earrings. I too am struggling with what to get the maids. Lovely Morning had some great ideas:

Congrats on hitting 500! I’d love the letterpress, as well. These picks are great, too.

congrats on 500! I had some dead time there in the winter months… I’m still at 465! haha. Good for you for being consistent! :)

The gifts are all beautiful – and letterpress would be my first choice too… but a close second would be that gorgeous clutch!

I love the little pouch. I too am trying to find some things for my bridesmaids that they will love.

I just have to vouch for the quality and general loveliness of Oktak’s clutches and pouches… She made my wedding clutch (the first thing I bought for the wedding) and it’s so so pretty. Those earrings are gorgeous too… Very classic, would go with everything.
