I seriously had a blast at my bachelorette weekend in Savannah — thank you to ALL who made it so special and fun! Today I’m sharing a few of the other little crafts and gifts that my sister and I collaborated on.
Drink Glasses
Lauren was super excited about having a mimosa bar on Saturday morning, so we decided we wanted some fun cups that everyone could use on the beach, and take home for later. We found these great recyclable shatterproof plastic wine glasses on Amazon
The hardest part was coming up with what to put on them. We couldn’t decide between a quote, or design, but ultimately ended up with anchors and names.
Thanks to the Cricut, I just designed the anchors, cut & adhered those to the glasses, then cut everyone’s name in white, and layered them on top of the anchor.
To keep with the colors Lauren wanted to use, I printed gold anchors and put those on all the extra glasses we had. The best part: making 24 custom shatterproof wine glasses only cost ~$30! The extra ones will be perfect for the boat or beach too.
There was a little bar area on the side between the main living room and dining area, so we cleared off the bottom two shelves and put the glasses on there for everyone to take. (Link to make the banner here)
Anchor Garland
After making the banners, I had some leftover card stock, and anchors that had been cut out and discarded. This got me thinking that if I cut out more anchors, I could tie them to twine and make a garland! So that’s exactly what I did…
One of the strands was inside in the living room, and the other went on the porch, by the big outdoor eating table.
Sunglasses
Beach = sunglasses, and Lauren ordered some cheap blue ones online for everyone. I had just gotten some gold chrome vinyl in, so we decided to put the event hashtag (that she so cleverly came up with) on the side.
The sunglasses were perfect to wear on the Savannah slow ride and we got some cute pics of them on.
By the way, I have been waiting ever so patiently to share all of this. We started working on all of this back in January, and Lauren has been laughing at me knowing that I had already drafted a post to share it all… Needless to say, I’m still loving the Cricut 🙂
You are making me want a Cricut!!!
It’s amazing! I have had so much fun making stuff for others and all the random events. I’ll give you all sorts of tips if you get one!
Last sail before the veil – adorable!
All my sister’s idea, but thanks! I enjoyed wearing a captains hat instead of a sash and crown ⚓️
KELLEY!!! These are all amazing! I’m planning my sister-in-law’s bachelorette on Cape Cod this June, and all of these things would be perfect gifts. I especially love the shatter-proof glasses and sunglasses. I need to get going and make some fun things like these!
Let me know if I can help! I had way too much fun making all of these ⚓️ Plus I still have the banners bc I can’t just throw them away yet if you’d like them!
Such cute ideas! And affordable too! I’ll be planning some bachelorette festivities for my bestie here soon, thanks for the inspiration!
I love that you made so many fun, personalized gifts for your girls!
I love the personalized drinking glasses with the anchors! I love Savannah and what a cute theme 🙂

What material did you adhere to the glasses, vinyl? Looks great by the way!
Yes, it’s a permanent, outdoor vinyl so technically it’s dishwasher safe, but I still tend to hand wash ? Thank you!
Hello! I love the glasses! How did you adhere the design to the glass and did it stay?
Hey Anna,
I cut the letters & anchor on a permanent vinyl with my Cricut, then adhered them with the transfer paper. My glass still looks great after several washes and 3 months. I also just hand wash the shatterproof glasses that I used. Hope this helps!
perfect thank you! did you use this cartridge? http://www.walmart.com/ip/Cricut-Cartridge-Life-is-a-Beach/13032807
I have the Explore Air, so I was able to import my own png images and fonts – like my anchor image. I haven’t used cartridges with the Cricut yet, just importing things I’ve designed in Illustrator.
