At some bridal showers, the bridesmaids will give the bride a gift basket that includes six bottles of wine or alcohol to celebrate occasions that lie in their future.
It’s nice to then have the bridesmaids toast the bride-to-be as she takes one step further towards her new life. Have a bottle of champagne ready for the maid of honor to pop, or pour for the bride and wedding party. Have flutes of champagne passed so guests are ready to partake in the toast.
There are poems that are attached to each bottle, that the bridesmaids read as they present the gift to the bride.
Wedding Night
The night you have dreamed of is finally here
The future surrounds you with hope and yet fear
You’ve wanted so long to find your perfect mate
Sip this wine and toast this perfect date
The night is meant for you to share
Enjoy each other – a perfect pair!!
First Fight
When fights occur and tempers get hot
Pour a glass and be thankful for what you’ve got
If you always agreed it would certainly be a bore
And by asking for Krissy’s hand Bernie is surely
in for more!
First Anniversary
Been married a year, where did the time go?
No longer newlyweds, now you are pros
Hope the days found you in good health and
good spirit
Keep saying I love you –
one always needs to hear it!
Now toast this first date, it’s certainly not the last
And as you build your future don’t ever forget
the past!
First Dinner Party
Open your home to entertain and eat
Catch up with old friends and new ones to meet
When the night is over share this bottle of wine
But don’t sit down yet – it’s clean up time!!
Christmas Eve
A wise man said wine is better than beer
And now is the season for lots of holiday cheer
So pop the cork and relax a bit,
And when the night is through,
Kiss goodnight, close your eyes
And Santa will be good to you!
First Baby
The news that a baby will soon share your life
will make you a mother, not only a wife
You’ll see it through good times and sometimes
through bad
______ the loving mother
and _____ the dearest dad
Sadly _____ (groom) must drink this one alone, and _____(bride) with an empty glass
Sit back and relax – nine months will quickly pass!

WINE:
A basket of wine for a special pair – wrapped in all different colors for you both to share.
We hope that you are both always as happy as today. Please share this wine just the way
that we say.
First, drink the champagne – the bottle all wrapped in lace – on your first married night in
your new chosen place.
The silver one you must wait to unseal ’til you have your first guests over for a meal.
Love as you might, you’ll have your first fight… Drink the blue one while you make up
all night.
The gold bottle is for Thanksgiving; to toast to the love-filled life you are living.
The winters in your hometown might get a bit cold, drink the white bottle during your
first snowfall.
The green bottle’s for Christmas, so put up your tree, drape the ceilings in mistletoe and
get tipsy
On January 1st, while sharing some kisses, drink the purple bottle to toast the New Year
as Mr.. and Mrs..
Drink the pink bottle, romantic and sweet, when it’s time for your newlywed Valentine’s
treat.
And when your first year of marriage is done, drink the red bottle in honor of
anniversaries to come.
Cheers to Bride and Groom on the start of their lives together – may this basket of wine
symbolize the beginning of your forever.

Here are a few extra verses:
Honeymoon
Whether in the mountains or at the beach
Be sure to keep this wine in reach
Take time to have fun: It’s your honeymoon!
Sadly you’ll be back before too soon
You had a great time, but now it’s done
At least you have pictures to remember the fun!
First Valentine’s Day
Roses are red and violets are blue
This Valentine’s Day will be special for you
Whether you get flowers or chocolate or even some bling
This wine can be enjoyed with almost anything!
Be sure to share with Tom a hug and a kiss
For many more Valentine’s of pure bliss!
