Cute Gift Idea: Household Item Poem (aka the Mr. Clean Poem)

Ahh, we think this idea is such a cute way of presenting everyday household items to the bride at the shower.  It's a cute yet practical way to give the bride things like laundry detergent.  Many showers do it as a gift from all of the bridesmaids or you could do it as a cheaper, more creative bridal shower gift.

Bridal Shower Game: Make this gift into a game. Pass the items out to guests and have the guests hold up the items while someone reads the poem.

To-do:

Put the items in a laundry basket or reusable container for the shower.

Poem 1:

Dear Bride, 

You are entering a new ERA. There will come a THYME in your marriage when you find [GROOM] is not always MR. CLEAN, but don't send out the S.O.S. Because he might VANISH. [GROOM] will always bring you CHEER and you will find JOY, so remember your PLEDGE and give him your ALL. To [BRIDE] and [GROOM] the Best of Luck & Good Fortune in the years to come. And may [GROOM] always be your HONEY.

Poem 2:
Dear [BRIDE],

We gather together with you to celebrate the (dawn) of a new (era). Marriage is a journey. Some days it will be pure (joy) but let's take a moment and talk about the others.

There may come a time when you realize your big (brawny) guy isn't necessarily  (Mr. Clean). When this and other little glitches occur, don't  (shout) or send up an  (SOS). Go (easy-on) him. Hopefully the (Tide) will change quickly, tensions will (vanish), and things will (bounce) back to normal.

We think you and [GROOM] are a  (fantastic) couple with a (zest) for life and a sincere appreciation for each other. We fully support you as you and [GROOM]  (pledge) to spend your lives as one.

We wish you all the best... Including love, happiness and lots of time to (snuggle).

Love,
The Bridal Party (or whomever is giving the gift.)

Poem #3

It is only fair that we let [BRIDE] in on a little SECRET. [GROOM] may be FANTASTIC but wait until she finds out that he is not MR. CLEAN. He'll expect her to be a DYNAMO in the kitchen and he thinks all women should MOP & GLOW. At night he'll wake you up at DAWN to SNUGGLE up close. We all AGREE that [BRIDE] and [GROOM] will have a very happy LIFE together. Our wish for you is that your home be filled with JOY and you remain as happy as ever in the FUTURE.

Thank you for watching! These go together so fast, and they make an adorable gift! It is made with few embellishments, mostly cardstock and patterned paper. If you have any questions, please leave me a comment or email me. You will need 2 12" x 12" sheets in coordinating colors. The first color, cut 1-6" x 12" and score at 2 3/4", 3", 9" and 9 1/4", then cut 3- 5 3/4" by 12" and score at 3" and 9". From the second color cut 4-5 1/2" sqaures, and 1-5 x 12" and score at 5" and 8 1/2". Patterned paper to be cut at 5" square for cover and large openings, 5 x 2" or 2 1/4" for flaps and for back flap I used 2- 2" x 4 3/4" for the piece that glues to the bottom and 4-3" x 4 1/2" on the other flaps. Embellish with mostly flat items or it won't close! I did find the website I learned this mini from: http://www.making-mini-scrapbooks.com
