Dating Jar for Nina's Bridal Shower

My husband's family moved to Arizona when he was just a little guy. They were hundreds of miles from their nearest family but found some great friends in the Cardinals. Every Thanksgiving and Christmas since then has been spent with this lovely clan and I have been lucky enough to marry into this wonderful family. Nina is to marry Chris, the eldest of the Cardinal children.

Nina is awesome. I instantly loved her. She's real. She's friendly. She has the greatest fashion sense! And, thankfully, she has an appreciation for the handmade, which is why I felt comfortable making her a little gift for her shower. Because she and Chris already have a fair amount of household items, her bridal shower had a "date night" theme and I had just the pinned project!

I completely forgot to take any pictures at the shower, but I assure you, it was lovely. I did manage to remember to snap a quick picture of myself before heading out the door though! Lucky you!

Me!

    Wondering if you could share what all the ideas are? I would love to do this with our MOPS group, but would feel challenged to come up with all those dates!

    Good to know about dating jar ideas for bridal shower. I was quite interested to know about such unique ideas as I am arranging my best friend’s bridal shower event which is in next month. Already booked one of beautiful lofty spaces and now planning to arrange a grand party.
