So, my dd is getting married Saturday in an intimate outdoor ceremony. We are going to have a “Drive By” reception in front of our home so people can drive by and wish them well. I want to make up a “Honeymoon at Home” basket for them. She’s a nurse and while she will have Monday off, that’s it. I bought wine glasses, chocolate, candles, feminine wipes 😉, and plan to get wine, cheeses, grapes, and meats for snacking. DH wants to toss in condoms, too. That morning I will bake cinnamon rolls for them.
So, what else should I add? Food suggestions, silly ideas, etc. are welcome. She’s a Pure Romance consultant, so she doesn’t need any sex stuff, since she has it all.

You could make a "Do not Disturb" sign to hang on their doorknob.
Not that anyone will see it, but it's very honeymoon-esque.

Were you going to put everything in one basket? I'm asking because IMO, putting in feminine wipes with all of those romantic items is well kinda gross. The second basket could have more practical items like the condoms and wipes. Maybe print up some pretty little cards with movie titles and descriptions. They can go thru the cards and pick out a movie to watch. You could have popcorn in there. Maybe make a pop up photo box of photos of the two of them together. You can get all sorts of ideas on Pinterest. A fun project while being quarantined!

I saw this on tv....
The guests lined the streets in their cars. The bride/groom in their attire walked down the center of the street. It was very sweet. Everyone got to see her dress/flowers that way. They also were able to take all sorts of photos. So maybe the weather would cooperate for her to do that instead of them driving by.

Sorry, this made me LOL because your Pea title is Pearl Clutcher... I like CeeScraps suggestion of walking down the middle of the street if it is allowed in your area right now. Congrats to your daughter. |

I like that, but I am not sure if her bustle could handle the concrete of the street. |

Just some ideas - cut flowers, or a blooming plant, flower petals, massage oil, bubble bath, a massager and have a restaurant deliver a meal to them or include a gift card from a restaurant that delivers to them.

How about gift cards to local restaurants, if they are eating take out?
A gift card for first anniversary professional photo shoot (if they are not able to get pro pics during their small wedding).

I think the wine and snacky stuff is fine, the condoms and feminine wipes (which are gross in there own special way) is a step too far.
