    I'm hosting a "Bridal Luncheon" for my bridesmaids and a few close friends that have really helped out during the wedding planning process.  One of the things I'm most excited about is the Charm Cake.  I fell in love with the idea years ago when I attended the wedding of a sorority sister who did this for all her "sisters."  So, I ordered the charms and my cake lady is super excited to do it. 

    I've found a lot of websites that give the "traditional" meaning of the charms.  For example, a plane = travel/adventure, a clover = good luck, an anchor = stability.  Boring!  While those are all fine, I want something that's more exciting.  These are my best girls and we'll be drinking champagne and having a good time - I want something that's more "our style". 

    I would love to have a funny (or even a little raunchy) poem or something prepared for each charm pulled.  Its fine if the charms still have their traditional meaning, but I'd like to come up with a new way to present them.  I just want to have a lot of fun with this, without being overly sentimental (I cry all the time already). :)

    Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?  Anyone good at coming up with this kind of stuff?  ANY ideas are GREATLY appreciated.  I'm stuck on this one - usually I'd ask my girls, but I want it to be a surprise!  HELP!!

     Here is a list of the charms I have and the traditional meaning. 

    1. High heel = fashion
    2. Purse = riches and fortune
    3. camera = fame
    4. wine bottle = romance and love
    5. bee = hard work and sweet rewards
    6. fleur-de-lis = strength, courage, heritage
    7. heart = love and happiness
    8. birdhouse = happy home
    9. apple = good health and smart choices
    10. airplane = adventure and travel
    11. butterfly = colorful and creative life
    12. dog bone = loyal friends
    13. dragonfly = good fortune and grace
    14. baby shoe = big family
    15. shamrock = good luck
    16. mardi gras mask = parties and adventure
    17. lipstick = beauty and grace
    18. adirondack chair = relaxation and comfort
    19. watering can = nuturing abundance
    20. mittens = warmth and comfort

    Not sure I quite understand... are you wanting a fun/naughty poem for the charm that includes the traditional meaning? Or a fun/naughty poem for each charm that represents a new meaning?

    Either, I guess.  I'm basically just looking for something funny to read or do for each charm.  Instead of just saying "you'll have a life of good luck" when she pulls the charm, I'd like to do something funny or unexpected. 

    I thought about having gag gifts that correspond to each charm.  Maybe a couple lottery tickets for the clover charm, or a compact mirror for the lipstick charm.

    ANY ideas would be appreciated.

    How about using fortune cookie predictions.  Just google for them.  Some ideas include:

    • baby shoe = Ideas are like childeren there are none as wonderful as your own
    • airplane = Pleasures await you by the seashore
    • butterfly = You are an amazing, dynamic person with effective strategems
    • dog bone = An old friend will show you great enjoyment and pleasures
    • wine bottle = The next full moon will bring an evening of delight

    Other than that you could try looking for funny quotes on each area.  Otherwise I think you are going to have to make something up, which might require a bit more personal insight into your group of friends.

    Good Luck!

    @ SpaceC06 - Thanks!  I like the fortune cookie idea.  Yeah, I figured I'd probably have to make them up, I was just wondering if anyone else had done/seen something a little "different" regarding the charm cake.  I love the traditional meanings, but I looking for a way to spice it up for my group of friends.  We're a rather wild bunch and appreciate the fun more than the sentimental aspect of things.
