An Exciting Way To Celebrate The New Couple"},"content":{"rendered":"

A<\/span>n Engagement Gift Basket<\/strong> is the perfect way to celebrate a new couple. In case you haven’t guessed, we’re all about weddings over here because my daughter recently got engaged!<\/h3>\n

To put it mildly, we’re thrilled. They’re the perfect pair, and we’re so lucky to be adding a new member of our family. I know I speak for everyone when I say we couldn’t be happier. So here we go, we’re making Pinterest boards, spreadsheets, to do lists, you name it. We’re having a party!<\/h3>\n

This is an old picture of my girls, but one of my favorites. Haley on the left is the bride to be and Melanie on the right is the maid of honor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Of course, with every celebration in our house, we somehow manage to give a book<\/a>\u00a0or two. I knew they were getting engaged, so I’ve been doing some research on the best wedding planning books. I decided The Knot<\/a> was the one. It’s a big binder and has lots of room to write notes and keep track of things. It’s just what she needs.<\/h3>\n

\"\"To begin, I stopped at the dollar store and picked up some supplies for decorating a basket I already had on hand.<\/h3>\n

\"\"Next, I added a few small presents<\/a> for the bride and groom.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I picked up some candies I knew they both liked and then added another book I thought would be appropriate for the occasion, The Five Languages of Love<\/a><\/span> by Gary Chapman! \u00a0And of course a candle. \u00a0Every occasion calls for a candle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I put it all together with some Prosecco and champagne glasses to toast the start of a beautiful life together!<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Once I had it arranged correctly I wrapped in cellophane and added a bow. \u00a0\"\"<\/h3>\n

The funny thing is she sent me this book<\/a> in the mail. \u00a0I guess we think alike.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Stay tuned!<\/h2>\n
