The other week one of the lovely ladies at work was leaving for a few weeks as she was getting married. Therefore we decided to put on a little Bridal Show for her at work and to help celebrate I made the following Marriage Survival Kit. The Marriage Survival Kit is a little novelty box filled with little items each with a special meaning - look at the bottom of the blog to find out what each of the items means. 
I made the Marriage Survival Kit by finding a small box - in actual fact my husband gave me the box - when he buys his golf balls this is the box they come in - I have a number of these boxes now stacked under my desk. I covered the box in a beautiful silver paper with black flowers and leaves drawn on it. I put a black mat under the top piece. I then decorated it with black and red flowers and die cut some swirls to sit under the flowers. It was topped off with a black ribbon and a silver and red rose.
This is a fun idea for those of you who are not quite sure what to take to a bridal shower.
