About 6 weeks ago I made a trip to Joburg to catch up with
two of my closest Uni friends. The three of us haven’t all been together in
over two years. So there was no doubt it was going to be a really special
weekend.
Although it's literally months until our wedding, one of my
two friends was vising SA from England, and not knowing when I would get to see
her again I felt the time was right to pop the question to her and my other friend simultaneously as
we’ve been some-what of a terrible trio since fourth year.
So I did, on Saturday morning after the 3 of us had woken up
and devoured a delicious breakfast that consisted of preserved figs and yummy Woollies
croissants, I handed them each a little hand-made paper bag with a small gift
inside (I’ve only gotten round to asking two of my bridesmaids so far, so I’m
going to have to leave out what the gift is until I’ve asked everyone who needs
to be asked.)
Surprised they asked what the gift was for, but I said
nothing and waited for them to read the writing on the package.
I will treasure the smiles on their faces and the warmth of
that moment for the rest of my life. Making the paper bags took hours, but made
the whole thing that much more special.
Thanks so much Lau and Cath for saying yes! I’m so glad I’ll
have the two of you (and a few other special girls) by my side on the most
important day of my life.
- I fond the butterfly stencil I used for the name tag here.
- The name tag stencil here. (I had to manipulate the length and width a little in word, but it's easy enough to do)
- And I can't remember where I fond the template to make the bag! But I found a similar template that you can use to make your own bag here.
