Hawaiian Jack and Jill

Our Hawaiian flight tickets for the shower were a huge hit! They were lots of fun to design and create for the guests. Our raffle baskets were another hit at the shower. Rather then have guests paying per person for coming to our Jack and Jill we requested money be donated to our honeymoon fund. In turn we created fun raffle baskets to add excitement to the event. Now, I must say to you all this process only works if you have a LARGE guest list. A small group of people would not be able to cover much of the items in the basket or really have an impact on the honeymoon fund. Please keep that in mind if you are deciding to do a Raffle Jack n Jill Shower.

I helped plan my own Jack n Jill shower which brides should not do because it does ruin the surprise, BUT my matron of honor was my only bridal party member so I couldn't let her suffer alone. Here are some more highlights of the vintage blue Hawaii Jack n Jill shower

We had lots of fun putting these invites together cutting it out, adding cute palm tree stamps and placing them in beautiful coral colored envelopes. Joe is seat 26A and my seat is 26B.

We were able to coordinate the colors from the wedding invitations with the shower invitations but change the style completed. We also created some of our own registry inserts.

Retro/Vintage Tux & Suit Rentals

My fiance and I had a hard time figuring out what style would work for himself and the men in our wedding. Here are some fun tuxedo options we looked into.



(classic zoot suit, fun plaid tuxedo- these can be located at Tuxedo Wholesaler)





We tried to look around for suits that resembled Zac Efron's style during his performance in Hairspray. The issue with that was similar suits are hard to find in my area or the cost is much higher.

We ended up settling on this nice Calvin Klein two-button suit from MW. The gray color is nice since its an early am wedding and it looks similar to a suit. Very sharp!

Non-DIY Retro Inspired Wedding Favors

I have always been a fan of DIY favors, whether its for a wedding, birthday, anniversary. Although, I have been seeing some very unique and cute retro "inspired" wedding favors and packaging lately and I wanted to share them with you.

These favors are featured on the site My Wedding Favors. Most of these can be found on various wedding favors sites, the costs vary. Suggestion: Look around at some sites that have the same item, the shipping costs vary a lot which can lead to you paying more.

MORE UNIQUE/PRACTICAL VINTAGE/RETRO INSPIRED FAVORS. ENJOY!

These favors can be located on AmericanBridal.com

My fiance and I have decided to settle on these wedding favors, as it matches our personalities and love for refrigerator magnets, plus it was the only item we could agree on, haha.
