This is a wonderful post...and reminder! These are such a perfect and thoughtful touch to any event when you have out-of-towners coming! I remember creating these with my aunt during my Bat Mitzvah, and then again with my sister and now husband for my ceremony. They are an unexpected treat that, no matter what you include, makes your friend or relative feel extra welcome and extra special! Thanks for posting this! :)
Where did these bags come from? They are so cute. Could you post a link? I just signed up for a year of DesignHerGals, so we can create those cute labels too. What a great idea!
Sure! The bags are from Nashville Wraps. Here is the direct link: frosted polka dot bags.
