Saturday we gathered at my aunt’s house to put together favors for Sharon’s wedding, which is Saturday, March 29. Less than two weeks, now!

We had fun doing it, what with the champagne and fountains of glue. She got silver boxes, filled them with all kinds of candy, and put a white bow and escort cards on them. There will be unmarked boxes on the tables, since the escort cards are one per couple.

Her venue has what I think is a 1,000-page checklist of things she has to do. It’s overwhelming, but at least she’ll be prepared.

I’m going for a fitting for my bridesmaid dress this afternoon. It will still need to be hemmed, but I think I’ll have it ready in plenty of time.

I’m also working on a day of emergency box for Sharon. Here’s what I’m thinking of including:

Aspirin
Hairspray
Clear nail polish
Nail polish in whatever color Sharon’s wearing
Safety pins
Bobby pins
Antacid
Smelling salts (where do you even get those?)
Band-Aids
Pantyhose
Club soda
Nip of vodka
Cheese & crackers
Tweezers
Tissues
Lint roller

Am I missing anything? I’m sure I’ll think of more. I have a shoe box that I’m going to cover with cute paper and then fill with all these treasures. She’ll be the most prepared bride ever!
