Kerri’s Moroccan Sangria
On a rainy day in Western NY, we threw a small Moroccan-themed bridal shower for my best friend, Kerri. She’s always loved elephants, henna, and Mediterranean food, and her mom even created a cute DIY perfume station with beautiful glass bottles. What better cocktail to pair with this day than a fruity sparkling Sangria? The invitation was inspired by the bright colors and patterns of Morocco, and the font was inspired by the movie Casablanca. Invitations were printed with Got Print, and paper supplies were ordered through Cards and Pockets.
