Showered in Sustainability

I cannot believe my bridal shower was on Sunday.

While I did not plan it, I provided the hosts with 3 requests:

  1. Please have waffles
  2. Don’t be wasteful
  3. Gifts should not be wrapped

Yes, there were waffles and in general terms, it was not that wasteful. Win-win.

I have already talked about my dislike for wrapping paper here. Thankfully everyone abided to my wish and there was no garbage bag full of wrapping paper at the event of the event.

Otherwise, most decorations will be able to serve double duty at future events.

My mother got real crafty with prizes and favors. She bought a custom stamp on Etsy to decorate cotton grocery bags, and my parents had an assembly line going to make each one.

They were a hit!

For those who won bridal shower games, they were gifted with produce bags! Hehe!

It was great to have an event that kind of set the tone for the wedding a few months down the road.

  1. Awesome! I had a bridal shower with an Eco-friendly theme. My sister made the decorations (paper and fabric), and everyone brought some food that was homemade and unpackaged. The gifts were mostly wrapped in fabric, and many friends brought food gifts, like jarred goods and one friend brought a basket full of her own grown vegetables. It was so awesome!
