For our Relief Society Birthday Party this year, our ward decided to celebrate our three white dresses: the Baby Blessing Dress, the Baptism Dress, and the Temple Dress.
Our beautiful handout. Made with a paper (cricut cut) top and a handkerchief. We put them together with GlueDots.
We asked sisters to bring their own dresses to use as displays. We ha a wonderful turn out an many amazing dresses to look at.
We wanted to make it all very fancy. We used white linens with risers and sheer draperies. The sisters signed up to bring various salads of any type to the event. We had everything from greens to potatoes to chicken salad sandwiches. 
For the program, we had three of the sisters from our ward come to speek with us. We started with an overview of purity and covenants by our wonderful bishop. Following this, we had a sister talk about each dress.
The first sister talked about her blessing dress which was handmade by her great-great-grandmother and ha been wore by every woman in her family for the last several generations. She spoke of how much the blessing of her baby, the first in the newest generation, meant to her.
The next sister was an adult convert who spoke of the baptism dress. She told of her conversation story an what the covenant if baptism meant to her.
Finally, we had a sister speak on the blessings of the temple. This sister had a more unique temple situation. Instead if going though the temple to prepare for a mission or to get married, she was simple ready to make the covenants and reciece the blessings thereof. It was a very special evening as she spoke of what the temple and the covenants truly mean to her in her personal life.
Overall, it was a wonderful activity full of the spirit and sisterhood.
