Oh Nichole sweetie, everything is wonderful!! You have made such a professional job of those welcome boxes!!! I am sure you will get so many compliments from your lucky guests!!
As a side note, and I hope you won't be offended as it is not a criticism at all, I notice that you are calling your tea at the GF, 'high tea'. This is not strictly true. I have mentioned it before on the boards, and humbly ask your forgiveness for taking the liberty of posting on your wonderful thread, what 'About.com' has to say about what tea is what!!
'Outside of the UK, many people refer to afternoon tea as "high tea." Although the idea that high tea is a meal of foods like scones and finger sandwiches is common, it is not actually correct in a traditional or historical sense.
Afternoon tea, also known as "low tea," is what most people think of when they hear "high tea." It involves things like manners, lace and dainty foods. It is typically served in the mid-afternoon and it was traditionally served on low tables, hence its two names.
Afternoon tea was considered to be a ladies' social occasion.
Traditionally, high tea was a working class meal served on a high table at the end of the workday, shortly after five PM. It was a heavy meal of meat dishes (such as steak and kidney pie), fish dishes (such as pickled salmon), baked goods (such as crumpets or, in Ireland, barm brack), vegetables (such as potatoes or onion cakes), and other heavy foods (such as baked beans and cheesy casseroles).
High tea was more of a working class family meal than an elite social gathering.'
Sorry if I appear pompous, but I thought that it may help other brides in the future. Sorry if I have offended you. That was not my intention, sweetie!!
