Why crafts are good for hen parties…. 

1/27/2016

Calling All Maid of Honours,
 
You are the lucky person who gets to live, breathe and be part of the bride to be's big day, every step of the way. From planning, to being bathroom buddy on the wedding day,  (who else is going to hold up her dress) you are her right hand person!
 
Chances are this means your role will also include planning an unforgettable hen party, one that will be talked about in years to come, for all the right reasons of course! This can often seem a daunting task when hen party guests can range from little sisters to great aunts who perhaps are not in favour of the traditional hen party celebrations (yes, we are talking about the L plate varieties).
 
Cue the wonders of crafts… Whether you have limited making experience, or if you could be the next Mary Berry with your cake decorating skills our crafting workshops are perfect for all ages and abilities.
 
From Nipple Tassel and Garter Making to Photo Props and Memory Books! Not only do craft party workshops provide a good giggle they can also be made part of the wedding day! For example, you can help to design and make themed bunting or simply act as lovely memorabilia from the fun that was had. There is no better feeling than taking something away that you have created with your own fair hands.
 
With venues up and down the UK a popular choice is to combine your craft hen party workshop with some delicious food and drinks to make an all round perfect hen party choice.
 
To find out more about hosting a craft party feel free to pop us a message at katie@craftsandgiggles.com  and we will be more then happy to help with all your requirements!

The Garter...

1/20/2016

,The History-
The history of garters goes back to the Dark Ages where unbelievably guests would accompany the newly-weds to their bedroom to ensure they got there safely! During this time it was deemed lucky for the guests to take a piece of the brides clothing. As this tradition evolved over the years, it ended with guests tearing off her clothes in the hope for a piece to take away… What we do for good luck aye! It was then at this point that the garter (which traditionally was used to hold up ladies’ stockings), would get tossed, and it was considered who ever caught it would be next to wed! And the rest I guess is history!
 
The Tradition- Said to be one of the oldest wedding traditions around, there are few brides that go garter-less on their wedding day. Thankfully the tradition of following the new Mr and Mrs to their bridal suite has faded over the years, and now it has simply become more of a tradition to wear on the big day.
 
Something Blue – At Crafts and Giggles we have to admit we are slight fans of tradition which is why we love our Garter Workshops. The Garter Craft Parties not only provide a memorable day, but also the opportunity for the bride-to-be to make her very own garter with something blue (or what ever other colour she picks of course). From pearls to tartan ribbons, we provide a vast array of embellishments and materials for you to personalise your very own handmade garter. Not only this, but of course you will have lots of fun with your fellow hens.

Keep sake –
Small, simple and super easy to stash away, garters are not only a perfect wedding day addition, but a perfect keep safe to remember a hen party as well…. memories that can be kept for a lifetime.

For more information on about your own Garter Craft Party Workshop get in touch with us at katie@craftsandgiggles.com and we will happily assist you with any questions.

Crafts and Giggles first craft party of 2016!

1/12/2016

0 Comments

 
A big happy new year from us! Where did Christmas go? We blinked and it was over, but we had such a lovely time recharging crafts and giggles ready for a busy 2016!!

We kick started 2016 off with a massive Corporate event in London! We were invited to host a Ceramic Painting session for 100 staff at a primary school! The best thing about the event was it being a surprise! The staff thought they were going back to work for an ordinary day, when in fact they were enjoying a morning of crafts with us, beauty treatments, tarot reading and more! What a lovely primary school to work for! 

All 100 staff got stuck in, and came up with some brilliant designs! From cats to whales! Everyone had good fun, and it was a great way of giving the staff a boost ready for the new challenges ahead!

If you are interested in any of our Corporate Craft Events get in touch!
