Welcome Bags:Groom and his two best friends (TJ and Paul, both groomsmen) own a daily t-shirt website RIPT Apparel that sells one unique tshirt design a day, and they also own a screen printing shop to print the designs on the shirt. One of the groomsmen, TJ, created the anchor design for the bags, and the RIPT Apparel staff screen printed the design on all 75 canvas bags. My parents then stocked up on goodies at Costco to fill them with – water, chips, protein bars, snacks, mints, advil, and clementine cuties! It was a group effort, to say the least!
Cork place card holders: The corks were all from bottles drank by the Bride’s family or friends (we had been saving corks for years!). We found the design online and then the Bride’s dad made each and every one. It took him over 2 weeks to complete, but they were made with love!
