It goes like this: Buy a bunch of brand-name products from the supermarket, the names of which you can incorporate into a story about the bride and groom. For example, one sentence might go like this, "As the bride waited months and months for her groom to propose, she knew something would have to 'Tide' her over until she'd see that ring 'Sparkle' on her finger. So she made a 'Dash' for the border for a 'Bold' weekend of fun and excitement in Tijuana with her girlfriends ... until it 'Dawn'ed on her that she was really much happier with her man."
Create a gift basket of all the products used in the story, then lift them out as you recite the story aloud for the group. It's a clever way to give the bride household items she'll inevitably need -- and to tell a fun story that specifically relates to the bride and groom.
