Look what I ordered....Great Find!!!!

Thanks to the newlyweds I checked out one of the blogs that they love. I snuck a peak at DCNearlyWeds . On here she a link to The Preppy Wedding . Now on here (are you still with me), she pointed out a site she likes, called Exclusively Sew .

Well from exclusively Sew I ordered a Reflection Tag. I was not going to do a dress tag, but once I saw this, I couldn't help myself. I also entered Preppy50 at checkout and got 50% off. It's a dress tag that notes, the day you were born with your name and birthday, and then the day you will marry with your new married name. It comes with a poem, and I will give it to my Mom as a gift at the rehearsal dinner. I will have her pin it in my gown on the wedding day, and then probably frame it after the wedding is over and hang it over my nightstand.




Poems that go with it
Option 1: To MOB from friend, family member, etc.
This simple dress tag is a badge of honor for you both to celebrate.

As you sew this inside your little girl’s wedding dress, Reflect back.

Reflect: On all the times you mended torn clothes and broken hearts.

Reflect:
*Back on her first tumble,
when you gently mended her knee.

Reflect:
*Back to the time she lost her first pet,
when you reassuringly mended her heart.

Reflect:
*Back on all the received award recognitions,
when you so proudly attached badges of honor to her clothing.

Now is the time to attach ****Enter brides official birth name***
securely inside her wedding dress.
For she will soon become ***New married name***


Option 2: From Bride to MOB
This simple dress tag is a badge of honor for us both to celebrate.

As you sew this inside your little girl’s wedding dress, Reflect back.

Reflect: On all the times you mended torn clothes and broken hearts.

Reflect:
*Back on my first tumble,
when you gently mended my knee.

Reflect:
*Back to the time I lost my first pet,
when you reassuringly mended my heart.

Reflect:
*Back on all the received award recognitions,
when you so proudly attached badges of honor to my clothing.

Now is the time to attach ****Enter brides official birth name***
securely inside my wedding dress.
For I will soon become ***New married name***

I got tears in my eyes reading it! My mom would BAWL! I don't know if I could do that to her on my wedding day. But I love the idea!

I'm giving it to her at the rehearsal dinner (two days before the wedding)...I might actually do it at home at night in private (maybe with her sister and my cousin around) because i know she is going to ball her eyes out...I did just reading it!!!!!

That is the sweetest thing i've ever read! Thanks for sharing that with us!

Oh I want to order it, but my name is too long!

That is such a touching gift. idea!!!

Great idea but I dont have a close relationship with my mom.
