Early on in my blogging, I shared with you how, as a bridesmaid, I put together a goody bag for a bride's entourage at her bachelorette. Well, as my bachelorette approached, I started brainstorming gift ideas for the lovely ladies that would be joining me in the sun.
It started with a couple themes...blue & green + weekend away. Blue & green are our wedding colors and, since we were all flying down to Florida, it worked!
The first item I found was a frame that fit perfectly.

| Lilly Pulitzer frame |
I thought it would be fun to have a framed picture from the weekend for everyone to display....which matched with the online description "strike a pose and frame your favorite photo in colorful patterns that will bring a bit of Palm Beach to your mantel" (even better...Jupiter is right by Palm Beach).
Next up...something that would help the ladies through the return from vacation. Because we all know how hard Mondays are after a weekend away! Caffeine is absolutely a necessity and, hey, who doesn't like a cute cup? |
| Monogrammed stainless steel travel mug |
I opted to personalize each mug - using script font - emerald thread on navy patterns and royal thread on green patterns. Since all but one of those joining for the bachelorette are unmarried, I didn't want to have an incorrect monogram later on...thus influencing my decision to use a single letter.
 |
| 7 cute cups (if you want the names of the fabrics, let me know) |
Finally, I chose a little something to help the ladies mark their territory...a funky, floral luggage tag!
 |
I picked up several different versions (all in the blue / green family) and planned to use them as the tags for their gifts. I also had big plans to include a Starbucks gift card - to help with the caffeine fix - but alas, life got in the way (see also, uncoordinated gift bags).
Despite my failure, I managed to squeeze everything in my carry-on bag - to be assembled in Florida!
 |
| I thought the cards were pretty fitting! |
I was very excited to give these gifts to my friends...almost as much as I was about my bachelorette (recap up soon)!
Did you do anything special for your "entourage"?
