Crafts & booze: best friends forever


Michael and I are most excited about our wedding favor idea. Let me describe it to you:


A box from SuperDawg (a famous local hot dog shop) with a variety of Chicagoesque souvinirs inside, including but not limited to:
-first thing: a card with a map of chicago on one side and a sort of "table of contents", map guide on the back...with a little rivet and bow. on the table of contents will be a decription of the meaning of each item. This will be a little history lesson for our guests.
1. A tiny bottle of booze. (on the card we will talk a little about the Chicago Prohibition days and the fact that Club Lucky was a speak easy!)
2. A book of Matches (card will mention mrs. the great Chicago Fire)
3. Lemonheads, jawbreakers and tootsie rolls (all made in Chicago!)
4. Handmade (my specialty, unless sarah and lyd are "helping...glu glug glug") bottle cap magnets with pics of Chicago and maybe one of me and Michaels beautiful little faces.
we have a few more ideas for the favors, but those are the definites. any other ideas p-nut gallery?
P.s. Lydia: Do you think you could wear assless chaps? I know Scooter mentioned to Michael that he wanted to wear these as well.

The Bachelor/Bachelorette Party-athon

First thing is first.
Lydia has shared interest in getting started on planning the pre-nuptial debauchery fest known as the Bachelorette Party. Michael and I still have no takers for planning the testosterone vesion of this. Michael has merely stated that he wants there to be some Whirly Ball involved. You boys will have to look into this. HOWEVER, you will all have to work together because the last part of this party will be when we all meet up at a local Karaoke bar to have a drunken song-off together. So, get in touch with eachother if you want to stake claim in this party plannin glory.
