Bride squad favours, gift bags and temporary tattoos

Two different purchases share this shelf and the split is worth knowing before you spend. The tote bags are the durable half: one each, a real price, and the piece that carries a swimsuit to the pool on the Saturday and the shopping home on the Sunday. Everything else here is the disposable half, and it is priced accordingly. Where a pack on this shelf gives a count, ten is the middle of it and the tattoo sheets run to dozens of designs on one page, which is why a single sheet covers a group with plenty left over. Hand the tattoos out on the first night rather than the last. They take a minute each, they photograph well from the beginning of the weekend rather than the end of it, and they come off with oil rather than with scrubbing. If anybody in the group has reacted to a plaster or to costume jewelry before, the safe move is a patch on the inside of an arm the night before, for the same reason it is the safe move with anything else that sits on skin for two days.

Everything on this shelf is one of tote bag, temporary tattoo, favour, gift bag or candle, and every card in the Bride Squad rundown carries the price, the pack count and the widest measurement, so the sums are done before you order.
