thanks. the only thing we have heard of that is not heinous, as xsteen put it, is using toilet paper to fashion wedding dresses. yes, it’s a waste of perfectly good toilet paper, but Megan did have an interest in fashion design when she was younger and again, it’s not heinous.

Are you into scrapbooking at all? Each girl could bring a few things to commemorate a special day they had with the bride and you can buy scrapbook decals and such with a Paris theme. You could take a few photos during the evening and print them out and do a few pages for the shower to include in the book

It’s just one of the classic comedies of the 80s. Next you’ll tell me you haven’t seen “Weird Science.”

Who cares what the dang calendar says, if it’s STILL cold and snowy.

52 degrees here later today but then it's supposed to be 15 degrees and snowy this weekend.

I'm so tired of it.

You could buy frames to decorate with a few Paris type charms and give each girl a group photo as a favor

i've spent enough on favors already, we found little boxes at michaels--paris-themed and chalkboardy, and we are going to make little scented salves to put in, along with lavender sachets and these french macaroon shaped pastel soaps.

Paris? Is that’s where they are going on their honeymoon? Very nice.

You could get some plaster of Paris and make something. Little figurines or something.
