, this Wedding Gift in a Jar is a thoughtful gift that any bride would appreciate! It's a great way to ensure that there are "No Wedding Day Blues"!!
Hi Juggling Act Mama readers ... Keri here from Shaken Together! I don't know about you, but Summer is in full swing at our house and we are loving every second of it! Along with sun and vacation and no school work, Summer is also wedding season! In fact, one of my best friends, Amy, is getting married in October so we are in full bridal shower, bachelorette and wedding day planning mode ... it's totally fun!
And while we were talking one day, I realized that we'll all be at the venue for the better part of the day, meaning that all of the comforts of home will be at, well, home! So, to try to tame any troubles that may crop up on her big day, I put together a fun Wedding Gift in a Jar to give Amy!
Here are your supplies:
- Quart sized mason jar
- Twine / ribbon
- Kraft paper tag
- Alphabet stamps & ink pad
- Various items to help with any wedding day woes {list below}
The I Do How-To
1. First, use the alphabet stamps to stamp the message on your tag.
2. Tuck all of your items inside your jar. You may need to try a few times to get everything to fit inside.
3. Tie the tag around the neck of the jar - this is when you can also attach something that may not fit inside the jar, like the lint roller in my pictures.
So, what are some of the helpful things you can tuck inside the Wedding Gift in a Jar?
- Mini sewing kit
- Lint roller
- Wrinkle release spray
- Protein bar
- Gum or breath mints
- Mini pack of tissues
- Headache relief medicine
- Travel sized deodorant
- Hand/body lotion
- Mini body spray
- Batteries (for cameras / electronic devices)
- Disposable camera
- Glasses repair kit if your bride wears glasses
- Super glue / nail glue
- Safety pins
I was fortunate to find all blue items {thanks Target!} so that played into my "No Wedding Day Blues" tag!! What else would you tuck inside?

I love this idea, I did a little jar for a bride friend of mine recently and she loved it. You used a bigger jar which was the main thing I learnt from making mine, I think the things you have included are lovely .
