Thank you to Honey Bee Weddings, who posted this article today. It is the perfect time because I can truly attest to how cool this little bridal community really is. About a month ago, I whined over the fact that I wanted to tryout a Gocco machine but could not find good reason to pay for the machine at this moment. At the time, I fantasized that I could do my rehearsal luncheon invitations, table numbers, escort cards, etc., etc. with the gocco. Well, thanks to A Windy City Wedding, she met up with me at a nearby Starbucks, chatted for an hour (talking all about our weddings, of course) and then she handed over her Gocco for me to borrow. I know! How cool is she?
So I knew I could not pass this up and after a couple weeks of watching some crazy "How to use gocco" videos - I decided it was time to check this out. I ended up doing something very easy. Our logo on our OOT bags. It was extremely simple because I decided to stay with one color. Secondly, I went with just a basic brown bag. For my first gocco project - I was actually sort of happy how they turned out. Some of them were not great thought. (Emily - you were oh so right about the perfection part. I don't like the fact that out of the 24 bags I did, only a couple came out perfect looking). However, I think the ones that have a little less ink still look somewhat cool.
Now what else can I do? I am thinking maybe stationary for my bridesmaids...hmm, damn you wedding for being just seven days away!
Here are all my finished welcome bags. Now I just need to hit Sam's Club for the goodies!
Yikes, it is almost March! I remember a long time ago saying that in January I would do all my DIY projects - one being the welcome bags. Unfortunately, that did not happen and it is looking like it will not happen this month either. However, I did see this today and thought how perfect would this be - bagable gifts based right here in Chicago. They create your welcome bag with everything you need and even deliver it to your hotel guests. This might be a worse case scenario, but if I delay any longer, I may be giving them a call!
