A Poet + Ribbon + Spirit = Bridal Shower Gift

February 18, 2012

Registry gifts can be pretty boring, especially if you’re buying for a close friend or family member.  If you’re looking for something to add a little sentiment to the union of two very special people, use this idea or a variation of it.  For this creative gift, all you need is a poet, some ribbon, and some spirit.

The End Result:  A beautiful wine basket with custom labels.

What Makes It Special:  Each bottle of wine features a specific “first” for the couple (first night, first Valentine’s Day, first anniversary, etc.) with an accompanying poem.

Materials Needed:  Basket large enough (and strong enough) for 9 bottles of liquor, ribbon (using the wedding colors, if possible), large labels, plastic wrap, filler, and 9 bottles of liquor (listed below)

The wine basket shown was created for a newly married couple from Bristol, Connecticut.  Two of the bridesmaids put this together as an alternative to a set of plates or a new comforter.  Although this gift is primarily only used with wine, the two bridesmaids incorporated other types of liquor as they saw fit.  (And as a side note, the couple dubbed this gift their absolute favorite from the shower.)

Event Suggestions:  First Night, First New Years, First Party, First Baby, First Valentine’s Day, First Christmas, First Anniversary, etc.

First Party:
You threw your first party, how did it go?
You ran out of drinks and the food was so-so.
Somebody slipped and fell in the lobby,
And you think his name might have been Bobby.
The police sent an officer to quiet it down,
Lucky for you, you’re still new in this town.
Despite all the chaos, it was still fun,
In fact, you’re all ready, for the next one!
Cheers to your parties, some big and some small.
But this was the first one and the best of them all.

First Anniversary:
One year ago today, standing on a beach,
The rest of your lives were just within reach.
A year has passed, and look where you are,
More happy than ever and not even that far.
Cheers to love and cheers to laughter,
Cheers to you both and happily ever after.

First Fight:
This one is for the first fight.
Voices loud, tempers hot.
When you’re complaining,
Don’t forget what you’ve got.
If you always agreed,
It would be a big bore.
And let’s be honest…
We’re in store for much more.

First New Years:
A New Year comes
And brings new hope and new fate
What else do you need
When you’ve found your mate?
First thing to do
Is fill the New Year with kisses
Then pour some champagne
As Mr. and Mrs.

First Baby:
The news that a baby will soon share your life,
Will make Lauryn a mother, not only a wife
You’ll see through the good times
And sometimes through bad
Lauryn, the loving mother
And Mike, the dear dad.
9 months is a long time to sit in the rack
So this time, we went with a bottle of Jack.

Wedding Night:
Tonight is the night, the night of your dreams
You’ve waited forever and ever it seems
The future surrounds you with joy and great faith
And you are sure that you found your soul mate
In honor of you, this wine is to share
To Lauryn and Michael, the beyond perfect pair.

First Valentine’s Day:
You’ve spent this day together
Four times before.
But this time is different
And means so much more.
You’ll celebrate your love,
As you will your whole life,
But this is your first,
As husband and wife.
