HELP! I need suggestions :)
So i'm in need of suggestions. I bought these chinese umbrellas, they are for the BM's they will hold the umbrellas instead of bouquets.

Now I think they look too blank & need suggestions on what to write on them. I have 6 for BM's & 1 for me (on mine, i want to put our monogram. eBj)

On the BM's (6) i was thinking like (love), (never), (fails) which would be 3 umbrellas but what else can i put??

any suggestions girls???


THANKS!

Hi girls so my FH has been working hard on getting a honeymoon place. We decided not to do the whole beach resort thing & do a cabin. Which is more private & has everything :) We aren't beach type of people so...we thought this would be great!
