We’re always glad to see brides doing new twists on the thank you favor. Some of our favorite ways to say thank you can be found on our Pinterest or in this post on using seasonal produce for favors. However, this idea has yet to show up on our radar until now. Can you say CHILL?

When we hear the phrase, “temporary tattoo” there’s a chance we’ll immediately think of the vending machines outside the grocery store. You know, the ones with the candy necklaces, the fake jewelry, and then there it is… the 50 cent tattoo machine abundant in some of the most horrid artwork you can find. FORTUNATELY, temporary tattoos have come a long way. For a modern temporary tat for your guests, check out Tattly.

Tattly is a temporary tattoo store for design-minded kids and kids-at-heart, they have a broad choice of artwork to choose from so that you can have a “tattoo parlor” full of options. So say goodbye to the clip-art tattoos and say hello to some chill artwork that is non-toxic, printed with vegetable-based ink, and fun for all ages. We love this temporary “Forever” tattoo (ironic, right?) for your wedding guests, or even this “Smitten” one, or a simple “YAY!“.

Besides, what can be better than seeing the best man after a few signature cocktails with one of your tattoos on his forehead?? Have fun with this one, Bridechillas!

father-daughter first look.

We’ve certainly seen some of the best bride and groom first look photos. Although they are quite the tear-jerker and SO full of love, sometimes a Bridechilla will want to wait til she is walking down the aisle to see her future spouse for the first time. But here is one way you can have the endearment of a first look photo in a whole new way – have it with the one walking you down the aisle, your dad.

We’re almost convinced this is even more touching than a first look with your spouse!

“You fathers will understand. You have a little girl. She looks up to you. You’re her oracle. You’re her hero. And then the day comes when she gets her first permanent wave and goes to her first real party, and from that day on, you’re in a constant state of panic.” – Stanley T. Banks (Father of the Bride)

Check out some of these father-daughter first look photos below and try not to let out a big, “awwwwwwwww..” because we know we sure are. How sweet is this photo below?

“They say that from the instant he lays eyes on her, a father adores his daughter. Whoever she grows up to be, she is always to him that little girl in pigtails. She makes him feel like Christmas. In exchange, he makes a secret promise not to see the awkwardness of her teenage years, the mistakes she makes, or the secrets she keeps.” – Anonymous
