Everything you need for a rad confetti bar

Sickeningly happy couples need this barf bag wedding program (a free wedding printable!)

We recently featured a gorgeous poly-friendly wedding featuring blanket seating, a falcon ring bearer, a fabulous floral gown, and these epic BARF BAG programs for… wait for it, a sickening happy couple. We were all obsessed with these barf bag programs. We hooked up with Tabitha of Haven Page Design (the designer of said original bags!) to see if we could snag our own version of a barf bag favor in free printable form. She obliged and she rocked it!
