First Wedding Gift

Our son texted this photo when he went to Sunday dinner at the home of his future mother-in-law and father-in-law. This is one of the first gifts his future MIL has given to him and his fiancée. It is a set of towels shaped into a wedding cake. Isn't it just beautiful????? He is so lucky to be marrying into an artistic family, full of love, joy, and happiness. I texted back not to expect anything artistic from me. Are you that creative?

@DianneN I am creative, but lazy, I write down projects and they stay there for months... well years.

Nope, I'm definitely not that creative but the towel cake is beautiful. It's almost too pretty to take apart and use the towels

I used to do some creative things years ago, but now I'm just too lazy! lol. It is too pretty to take apart, but I have bought them loads of towels, so they can display it if they'd like. She incorporated their wedding colors, too. Cranberry, not red.

I was wondering why he was getting a wedding cake so soon. That is so artsy. That takes talent to think of something like that. I'm not artsy. Those are beautiful towels!

Thanks. I'm pretty sure the towels are plain white, but decorated in cranberry ribbons to go with the color theme of their wedding. She has such talent for everything. Hard to believe a scientist could be so creative. lol

@just4him Aww, thanks so much. I think it's more hard work on her part than it being a gift. I'm more pleased that she and her brother are gifted students.

@DianneN Some people have many talents. I know one granddaughter that has shown herself quite talented in many areas, not just ice skating. It is very beautiful. She truly has a gift.

I'm not creative at all. I can't even wrap a gift. My husband has to do it.

@DianneN I try to use gift bags for as many things as I can. Whatever is left gets passed on to my husband to deal with.

And here I thought the white, cake sections was just Styrofoam. Inventive idea, that cake, very nice indeed. I might consider myself somewhat artistic, since I took art classes, but I'd not think of doing something like that. I'll have to keep it in mind for when my daughter gets married in the next year or two. I can probably find it on pinterest. They make everything look artistic.
