How to Tie the Knot with Style

Before two sailors get married, friends and family just might throw the bride-to-be a “Tie The Knot” party. And in one such case, your Uncle Goose got to be a part of the merriment.

Guests gathered to throw a bridal shower for Rebecca (Furgeson) Ratliff. And you know how bridal showers go. There are always fun and games to play!


For one creative party game, party goers picked an Uncle Goose Nautical Block from the canvas anchor bag.

Each guest tied the knot they saw featured on one side of the block.

The colorful knots became tree decorations.

What a fun and creative idea! The bride and groom can use the knots as ornaments for their first Christmas together as a married couple. And the burgees  -- the blue pennants -- have handwritten Christmas wishes for the happy couple! 

Thank you for sharing your special day and your stories and pictures! We love hearing about new and creative ideas for using Uncle Goose toys and gifts.

And if you have a creative way that you like to play with Uncle Goose blocks, let us know. Let your idea inspire someone else to innovate and have fun!
