Remember Jennifer Willbanks, the infamous runaway bride that escaped her planned wedding in Georgia a few years ago? Of course, everyone still remembers her. The Albuquerque police are hoping to capitalize on that and have posted billboard ads with a picture of Officer Trish Hoffman, the one who found her, grabbing a veil from a woman with a wedding gown and running shoes on. They’re hoping it will bring in some new recruits. If you’re planning a bridal shower, you too can have fun taking advantage of the national attention. Guests should get a good laugh out of a funny wedding shower favor like an airplane luggage tag with a message inside that says “don’t let the bride fly away”. You could also give out little personalized coffee kits with a tag that says “for when you’re on the run”. Of course, as a former groom myself, I know that a great fear is our brides will get cold feet, so you could play on this if it’s a co-ed party. One inexpensive wedding favor idea is to give the future husband a keychain with a note that says “don’t let her have the keys”.
