YW New Beginnings

One of my favorite events of the year with the Young Women is New Beginnings.  New Beginnings is an event when we invite upcoming girls that will turn 12, Young Women with parents and all leaders to enjoy an evening together.  We review Personal Progress, present the logo/motto/theme, get to know the upcoming girls and a chance for us to express our love for the Young Women.  
Our theme for this year was the "Three White Dresses."  

We made invites for all the girls and parents.  I will put a picture here if I can find an extra invite!  
We asked all parents to bring dresses, pictures and accessories that went with blessing, baptism and wedding.  
We set up three tables, one for each dress and as items came in, we placed them on the tables.  
Here is the Blessing table will all the items brought.  


Here is the Baptism table.


The Wedding table was filled with all the wonderful dresses, invites, memory books and photos.  


Here is the program we handed out to each family as they came in.  

I don't know how to attach a document to my blog yet so if you would like the entire program with all the wording, please let me know and I can email it to you!  

Here is the Video Presentation:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8TNpZOdYA8

Here are the frames with the YW Theme that we gave each of the upcoming Beehives and aren't they the cutest little things!  

We gave each YW a white hanger with the poem "My Three White Dresses" attached as a memento of the evening.  



For dessert we had Jello cakes with the value colors and strawberry lemonade.  



Here are some additional photos of the decorations in the Primary room:










And of course the dessert and our awesome Seminary teacher helping to serve!
