Okay, My spelling is off here and I might not make sense. I'm too lazy to proof read or correct... so if it is offensive, just well, just never mind. 
Be truthful. Be Blut.
I'll try to make this short. This is a bridal shower. About 20 people. Intimate setting.
The Maid of Honor, has asked me to help her and the bride has asked me as well. I suggested placing a tent (about 10x15 in the backyard FILLed with beautiful flowers. As I do this often, this is no big deal to me.
Try to imagine a miniature Secret Garden. The tent has no covering but a ribbon, ivy, profusion of flowers, hanging candles and hanging pompoms (but not too many) The purpose of this little veniette is to provide a wonderful view from inside the home. The interior of her home is early, shall we say, early "I'm just starting out so this is all I have, and nothing matches."
Sweet girl. BEAUTIFUL green yard and plastic blinds with no curtains. To make this veniette have purpose I thought about hanging favors from the ribbons as well. Along with jewelry boxes which contain necklaces I thought a card that looks like...

would be nice. Instead of the picture of the couple, I would insert a photo of a swan. This would happen to be the same photo used on the personalized U.S. postage stamp I am making. When the individual opens it up, it is their name and a little note from the Bride. All typed, but signed with her signature.
Anyway... I was told this was pointless by a man.
Please don't be nice, do not spare my feelings... this is why I wrote this on the board here. Just spill it and however it flows is fine. I need critical judgement here.
But these have no value:
1) too much trouble, no I enjoy this and they know it.
2) whose paying for it , me so no big deal.
3) It is hot as hades here in the south in August and NOBODY is going to want to spend a great deal of tiem outside. The guests aren't ASKED to go outside... the surprise is there so if somebody goes outside there is a reason.... kind of like finding easter eggs on Easter.
I was told this was pointless, just leave them on the table. To me, it just isn't the same. The element of surprise is not there... otherwise I can save my time. It is just another favor passed around in regimental style...
