Can I write where I am registered on the Invitation?

Wedding gifts are a great way to help married couples get a head start on their lives together. By registering for gifts the bride and groom are able to select items that they would like, to assist their guests in choosing a wedding gift. The best way to let your guests know where they can find your selected items is by word of mouth. Make sure you tell your families and bridal party where you are registered so they can help spread the word. If you write where you are registered on your wedding invitation it comes across that you are asking for a gift. The wedding invitation is meant to invite guests to come witness and celebrate the joining of two lives into one. The guests that choose to give a gift to the bride and groom will ask where they are registered.

Colorlab Custom Cosmetics

When it comes to buying gifts for my girlfriends I am always looking for something new and fun. After an appointment in Lincoln Park I went for a walk to stop in a few shops. That's when I found Colorlab Custom Cosmetics. You are able to invent your own custom blended makeup. Foundation, blush, lipstick, gloss, eyeshadow, etc. I purchased the empty containers and gave them to my girlfriends as birthday gifts.

When you go to make your cosmetics you are partnered with an inventor that will help advise you on the different powders and pigments. The inventor will add colors until the make up is your perfect match! And if you are a curious person like me you will enjoy the process of seeing how makeup is actually made! One of my favorite parts is that after you have made your makeup you get to name it!

Also for those of you that have a favorite eyeshadow or lipstick that has been discontinued, your worries are long gone. You can take your discontinued colors to colorlab and they will recreate it for you! Amazing!

So if you are looking for a fun gift or activity for a shower or bachelorette party, check out Colorlab!
