Little something for my girlies

Today is my surprise hen's party. The only thing I know is that I have to be ready to leave the house at 3.30 pm, eat my lunch before that and preferably wear a white bra.

But my girlies are wrong thinking they're the only ones having secrets :) I prepared surpise gifts for them and this is how they look like:


I bought these heart-shaped boxes in a dollar store in Vancouver and filled them with Rafaello pralines, heart-shaped bath bombs and candles in a form of an angel (photo below):


Then I printed little cards saying 'Monika's hen's night', the date and 'Thank you girlies!' on a special pearlescent paper. I used a fabulous font I found online called Covent Garden, I really like the retro feel of it:


I cut the cards out and attached them to the boxes using a double sided tape. Voila!

I had a lot of fun making these, quite relaxing indeed compared to some other wedding-related activities. How do you like my little surpise boxes?

    @LionLovingTiger: Thanks, hun! It was a great night, I have so many stories about it to share!

    @hannahbabeyxo: Thank you :)

    @Daisy: The boxes are super cute :)

    @Tali: Noo, the card says 'Monika's (+my surname soon to be changed) hen's night'. Mateusz is Polish like me, we actually met in high school here in Poland and went to Canada together :) Making the presents was a lot of fun! xxx

    @Skarletrubyjynx: The font is great but unfortunately it doesn't have most Polish diacretics...

    @Naomi: Thank you, hun, both for the wishes and the award!

    @Krystallia: Thanks, dear! xxx
