A sexy accessory
This pink lace garter isn't too complex, but it does look very classy and pretty. I think it would match all the other pink accessories and clothes very well. Some people might say it looks a little too flashy, but I don't think so, from that picture.
The other good one I found is the flashing bride-to-be garter. Okay, so the fact that it flashes doesn't scream "class", but not every little thing has to. The garter itself looks pretty classy to me, and I'm sure Laura would think the flashing bride-to-be emblem was fun. Of course, if you really want something fun, I found one other garter that I'm thinking about for the pure fun factor:
A candy garter! It's all the fun of a candy necklace with the added sexiness of a garter. I don't know how she would go about eating it, though. I guess she couldn't while she's wearing it. Still, it's cute and fun and I think she'd enjoy it. So the question is, should I go tasty or classy for the garter? And if I go with one of the classier ones, which one? I'll have to give this some thought and get back to you, but as always, feel free to voice your opinions as comments - I could always use some help deciding!
Rings for the rest of us!
It's a pack of six "light up bling rings!" I saw these and thought they would be absolutely perfect for the rest of us to wear at the party. They don't match Laura's ring, because I didn't choose the glowing one for her, but I have a feeling we've got enough matching clothing and accessories already that nobody will have any problems telling that we're all together! I'll have to buy two sets of these rings to get one for every guest, though, and then I'll have a couple of extras - maybe i'll give those to Laura to wear in addition to her other ring! I wonder what she'll think about us piling all of these accessories on her to wear... by the time we're through picking things out for her, I wonder if she'll even be able to move at the party! Well, we'll just have to see, because somehow I doubt me and the other girls are done finding things, so of course, whenever we find something else, I'll be sure to post it here to let you all know how the search is going!
Ring for Laura
This one is a light-up ring that comes in either pink or silver. It's not trying to be a realistic ring, it's just a fun cute little design. Plus, it lights up, which is always fun. Then there's this:
This one is called the 10,000 carat engagement ring, so it already has the funny name putting points in its favor. It's designed to look more like a real diamond ring (but waaay exaggerated) which is a fun idea I think. It's very sparkly and big, I just wonder if it might be too big and not stay on Laura's finger! Now, I bet you're thinking I like the light-up ring more because I liked the light-up button more, right? Well, you're wrong! I actually like this big fake diamond ring better. I think it would be very funny to her (and funny for the rest of us to see her wear it!) So I'm leaning toward this one. In fact, I think I might just choose it, right now. It's about time I actually be decisive and choose something without a week of deliberation, right? Okay! I choose this one!
... Unless I find something better. :) I'll talk to all of you next time!
Laura's Button
I’m surprised I didn’t see this one before - it pretty clearly goes along with the set of smaller ones with the pink dress designs. You’d think they would link to each other on the pages, but I guess not. But this button was literally made to go with the other ones, and it is cute, and it would make Laura stand out, but I’m still hesitant. It’s not that there’s anything wrong with this button, it’s just that I found another special button that I think I like more.
Why do I like this one more? Simple: it lights up, and that’s sure to make Laura stand out! Now, I know it’s not about which I like more, but I’m not really sure what Laura would prefer. I know, it probably seems silly to you that I’m deliberating over something as little as buttons, but I really want this party to be as perfect as possible. So I think I’ll ask Patty for her opinion, and we’ll just have to make our best guess about which one to go with. I have a feeling she’ll lean toward the one that matches the button set, but we’ll see. Of course, if any of you have any opinions or input, I’d be happy to hear it, but otherwise I’ll let you know what we decide!
Bachelorette Party Buttons
The first one is a set of six that comes with special buttons for the bride-to-be, the maid of honor, and the mother of the bride, and then three normal bridesmaid buttons. The second one is a set of eight and it comes with buttons for the mother of the groom and the flower girl too but none for the bride. At Laura’s wedding, the flower girl’s going to be her seven year old niece, so I don’t think she’ll be coming to the bachelorette party. The groom’s mother isn’t coming, either. So those would be two wasted buttons. But I definitely like the design on that set more. The little pink dress design is so cute! I’ll have to get two sets to have enough for all the bridesmaids no matter which of these sets I pick, so the wasted buttons aren’t a big deal but I think the only real deal breaker is that there’s no button for the bride-to-be herself in this kit. But maybe I can find one just by itself that will make Laura stand out. Maybe that would actually be better! I think I’ll look for one of those, and if I don’t find a good one, I’ll get the set of six, but if I do, I’ll get it and the set of eight. Wow, I can’t believe I made that decision so easily - if I keep figuring things out like that so easy, the rest of the planning will be a cinch!
