Okay, so I'm that person that tends to cry at the silliest things--commercials, kids being sweet, whatever. So, I saw the whole "tears of joy" thing and I love it. I know my family will be all crying---my hard-core attorney sister burst into tears when she walked in on my FI asking my parents for permission. She didn't even say anything---walked in, took stock of the situation, figured out what was going on, and burst into tears.

The thing of it is, I've started talking some people about these things--people that I thought would be totally about it--and they're like, maybe it's kind of cheesy-just set out boxes of kleenexes.

Well, I know I don't want to do that, but what if I do the packets, but just not say "For your tears of joy", etc. on them?

What are your thoughts--I have the stuff to make them, it didn't cost a lot, but I was excited about it. I thought it would be something cool, that everyone would appreciate. Maybe I'm wrong.

I don't think anything that fits the bride and groom, and is from the heart is silly!
So I say - go for it! Take photos - post them here :)

I'm the same way! I literally just teared up watching a show where the Grandpa was dancing with his Granddaughters :crybaby:

I think it's a great idea!

Fab..... you guys are the best! I'm going to work on them some today---we have a snow day---an unexpected one! My Dadddy suggested calling them "Tears of Love" instead of "Tears of Joy"......too funny! Kate---can you imagine my Daddy saying this!?! We might just do it.

Thanks ladies!
