Hey queens, welcome back to another episode of the Daily Buzz. Grace and I are here today and we are going to talk About bachelorette bags. I love it. So, as you know, I did not have a bachelorette party, so this is not my expertise. However, I have seen it on wedding days with lots of my couples and the cute things they have done. So, grace, talk to me about your bachelorette bags that you offered to your amazing MVPs of your wedding day.
Speaker 2:Yes, of course. When it comes to bachelorette bags, I think they're a cute incentive to just say thank you to whoever's coming on the party, because, let's be real, everything is very expensive now and your bridal party or whoever's coming is taking their time to be there to celebrate you. So I think it's the least you can do to just give them a thank you, and also it doesn't have to be a million dollars, I promise you, especially if you have a big party that's coming. I know the money can add up very quickly, but Shein is your best friend.
Speaker 1:I was going to say? What about the cricket?
Speaker 2:I know.
Speaker 1:Ooh, I wish I had a cricket. So.
Speaker 1:I have seen so many cute things come with crickets. You can always buy them used. Luckily, cricket's been around long enough that they are selling them used, because cricket always comes out with the new and best cricket machine. But crickets, you can go to the dollar store, get bags for you know, 10 for a dollar and then cricket those individual names and bust it out on bags. Tumblers, I mean coffee mugs, yeah, so keep talking about your sheen, but yeah, I know Throwing cricket out there because I've seen so many cute things made with the cricket.
Speaker 2:Yep, I totally agree. And also, if you don't have a cricket, I would really use Etsy as one of your best friends if you're wanting cute customized stuff. Of course it is going to be a little more expensive, but, um, I think Etsy people are using their cricket.
Speaker 2:I know, just throwing it out there exactly we just don't have the cricket and they're using it and making profit off me. Um, exactly, but that's exactly what I did. I did custom bags for my girls and then I did fun things like a hangover kit and I got cups. And then I actually just ordered um like stickers off Amazon and put everyone's name on a cup so that way, when we were either at the house or down at the beach, everyone had their own cup with their name on it.
Speaker 2:I got hats. This is my favorite part, I think, of the bag is I got hats that said save water drink, margs. That's so cute because you know I love margaritas and we were in Mexico, so we had to. But yes, I definitely think you should spoil our girls with bachelorette bags just to say thank you. And also, to the day of the wedding, I think you should give thank you gifts to your bridal party, and I did that. I gave them all custom pajamas, because I was one of those girls. I wanted the cute pictures and our pajamas. Yeah, obviously I had my white pajama set. Then I got black for everyone else, which you can find super cheap on Amazon. Exactly that's what I was going to say. I got mine on Amazon and always look during those deals. If you're getting married in the fall season, do not forget about Amazon Prime Day. Over the summer, they have amazing deals or even save something in your car. Look occasionally they'll drop prices and that way you can still spoil, but on a budget because it's expensive. Yes.
Speaker 1:So if you are looking for some super cute things to throw in those gift bags for your bridal party, you can do mini lip glosses, travel size face masks or moisturizer under eye gel patches. Those are perfect for hangovers. Maybe a nail polish that matches the wedding theme shade? Ooh, that's really cute, Isn't that so fun. I could see all your girls have lavender nails, that would be cute. Some mini shampoo I'm sorry, mini dry shampoo, because we all know, we all know we're crusty.
Speaker 2:Yes, we all need that dry shampoo. We don't wash our hair, girl.
Speaker 1:We know, maybe some snacks like personalized cookies or champagne flavored gummy bears, mints or gum, mini chocolate bars or truffles. And then, of course I know you've talked about it before, but those liquid IVs for hangover help. Yes, we need those desperately. You can do cute things like shot glasses or mini flasks or mini champagnes or Prosecco bottles, those- are super cute. Aren't those so fun. Also, you can do things like wedding themed uh keepsakes, like hair ties, temporary tattoos, personalized sunglasses, custom keychains or matching scrunchies or bracelets how could I forgotten?
Speaker 2:I did custom koozies for everyone. That is so cute. I totally forgot I got those off etsy and it had my um theme on it. It said like margs in matrimony and then it said Grace's bachelorette party. That is so cute. And we did them for the guys too. Theirs were like beers but ours were like seltzer. I can't remember. I forgot those. I love that. That was one of. I loved that. It was such a cute little touch.
Speaker 1:That is so cute. If you're doing, make sure you think about either flip-flops or slides for your sunscreen oh, yes, sunglasses, sunscreen and even a waterproof phone pouch, because the last thing we want is phones dropping in the water. If you want little cute package ideas, you can do small canvas totes with the name team bride with their names printed on it, satin pouches or clear makeup bags or gift boxes with confetti or tissue paper. So that is your daily buzz and enjoy those Bachelorette gift bags.
