Seems to be my problem last week was Google Reader- thank you everyone for your comments to assure me that you were still reading!!
It's yet another crazy week at work- I survived last week, thank goodness!! This week I have a dinner & lecture on Thursday night that I have neglected due to last week's events so I'll be doing last minute stuff for that up until time. And, they are coming to replace our windows in our office tomorrow, so we'll be uprooted for a bit- with no computer access, so that makes for a lovely mess!!
At some point this week I hope to have a real post, but I'm not sure if that will happen or not. My cousin is getting married this weekend, so I'm off to Greenville on Friday for the festivities.
I do have a question for y'all, though- one of my friends asked me to take a poll about this. She wants to know- If you were a bridesmaid in a wedding, would you rather have a gift (bag, etc.) that was the colors of the wedding or your favorite colors? Thanks in advance for your answers!!
I think it would make it more personal if it was in a favorite color -- I mean they would be the same kind of bag, but it would seem like more thought went into each one! Just my opinion :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Perfectly Pleasant that it would be more personal in your favorite colors. Definitely more work for the bride to be during a stressful enough time, but definitely meaningful to the bridesmaids!
ReplyDeleteI just now had all of your posts pop up in my reader! I had been wondering what you were up to. Maybe this is a sign that I need to actually go visit blogs more often instead of only going when I am commenting, haha!
ReplyDeleteAbout the gifts, I'm not sure I would mind. As long as the color wasn't ugly :)
I guess it depends on what color the wedding was, but if I were wearing a brown bridesmaids dress, I would not want a brown boat and tote bag!! I did Herve Chapelier totes for all my girls, and I tried to do them to match colors they wear the most frequently, so that they could carry them on a more regular basis.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I would mind at all!=)
ReplyDeleteI think I would want a gift in my favorite color. It would be more personal! I feel like you are always going to weddings! You have a ton of weddings this year :-) So fun! I love weddings!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite colors! Good luck with everything this week - it sounds busy. Thanks for the award last week also - I've been meaning to post about it, but it's been hectic here, too.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with everything - you are going to be busy!!
ReplyDeleteI got my bridesmaids LL Bean boat and tote bags monogrammed and I got them each their favorite color - they loved them!
I hope you have a wonderful week! I would prefer a bag in my favorite colors. Although, I would not mind a bag in the wedding colors either.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking for my daughter who has been in 10000 weddings - a gift that is the bridesmaid fave color. Everyone gives the wedding colors and many times those are colors that the bridesmaids even like ;-) xoxo
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a nice start to your week.
ReplyDeleteI would love a bag with my favorite colors instead of wedding colors. :)
definitely favorite colors. it's not the bridesmaid's wedding ya know?
ReplyDeletei've gotten both in the past, but if i had a choice, i'd pick my fav colors :o)
favorite colors, but if she doesn't know everyone's for sure, i'd say wedding colors! just to play it safe :) curious, what are her wedding colors?
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't care either way. The gift is nice enough! Beggers can't be choosers! = ) Tell the bride not to stress herself out about what color bridesmaid bags to get. They'll be thankful no matter what.
ReplyDeleteFavorite colors. I have gotten so many strange colored bm gifts!
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy with either. Either my favorite colors or in the wedding colors to remind me of the day.
ReplyDeleteAwe, that is a sweet concern of your friend! Can you cut the bag off and wear it again? J/k ... if I were her bridesmaid, I'd probably like the colors of her wedding, but my favorite color (PINK) would be much appreciated too. GREAT post btw (Manic Monday is now in my head). Xoxo-BLC
ReplyDeleteI would definitely prefer one that was my favorite color.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather have a bag that is in my favorite colors. I mean, I love Carolina Blue, but I may rather have a plum colored bag (color I'm currently lusting after right now!).
