Some dear friends of ours are getting married in a couple weeks and I wanted to give them something that they needed, but most definitely with a personal touch.
As a person who has gone through the process of getting married and setting up a registry, I wanted to make sure that my gift matched the items on the registry - just so my friends wouldn't end up with some screwball crazy present from their 'crafty' friend that 'makes' things... yuck...
They have all sorts of goodies on their list - plates, napkin holders, placemats, table cloth, but no cloth napkins. Perfect! Napkins it is. I took color cues from the other registry items and also quizzed the bride about her wedding colors.
Thankfully, these two both happen to have favorite animals - a bunny and a polar bear to be exact, so, that's where I started with my design inspiration.
A little magic disappearing ink pen...
and voila!
I decided to make a set of eight, but didn't want them all to be the same, so, I took some inspiration from the wedding invite and embroidered 4 napkins with their initials - in the invite font...
Here's the entire set together...
So, there you have it. Personalized wedding prezzie that still matches the registry!
I sure hope they enjoy using these as much as I enjoyed creating them!
N., those are fantastic! So sweet. :) xx, V
