Emily, a friend I love dearly, is getting married in January. She’s asked me to be her maid of honor. I couldn’t have been more honored, and of course celebrated my new title (Africankelli, MOH) by sewing up 18 wristlets for her bachelorette party.
Em is a smarty who attends MIT and lives in Boston. Her beau lives in Seattle. They are of course getting married in Mexico. And did I mention she is from Arizona? This left me geographically strapped on how to plan the MOH related festivities. I probably dropped the ball. Thankfully, one of her school friends stepped in.
I cannot attend her bachelorette party, tentatively scheduled for this weekend, so instead I did what Martha would do. I sewed. I made cards. I embroidered white undies with her new initials for her “something blue.”
The care package ended up with these included:

Bridesmaid pouch

For the other women in the bridal party. Her colors are brown and gold. I thought I’d throw a little pink in there too.

Bridesmaid pouch #2

For those “bacheloretting” this weekend.

E and J

For Em, in case she forgets the day she’ll be casada en Mexico con Senor Juan.

These were fun to put together. I’m bummed I won’t be there to celebrate her fleeting singlehood, but I know she’ll forgive me. Or better yet, won’t remember that I wasn’t in attendance.

Hasta Lunes,
Kellita
