Pretty Chocolate Favors

choloate favors

Graphically printed bark (chocolate spread thin and then broken into irregular pieces) is too nice to cover up, so use a clear lid. Grosgrain ribbon, taped around the lid’s sides, picks up hues inside. A monogram tag is kept small so as not to obstruct the view.

Tools and Materials
Printed monograms
Box with clear plastic lid (ours was 3 5/8 inches by 4 3/4 inches, and 1 inch high)
Striped ribbon, as wide as the box is high (ours was 17 inches long)
Glassine sheets
Double-sided tape, utility knife, and rotary cutter or scissors

Clear-Lidded Box How-To
Before beginning assembly, design a monogram on a computer, and print it out.

1. Put the lid on the box, so the box can support the lid. Cut ribbon 1/2 inch longer than circumference of box, and secure it to the outside with double-sided tape, overlapping near a corner as shown.

2. Cut the monogram out using the utility knife, and adhere it to the lid with double-sided tape.

3. Cut two glassine sheets to line the box; one should go widthwise across the bottom and up the sides, the other lengthwise. A rotary cutter is best for cutting glassine; it won’t pull or tear. Fill the box, and replace the lid.

Save the Date Magnets

Save the date magnets are a fun way to get your guests excited for your wedding. Plus it gives them a keepsake that they can save for a long time. I love the one pictured above but they come in a plethora of designs and colors. If the wedding is informal, you could even use them as your invitation. It is something they can keep instead of the invitation, which most people toss soon after the wedding. See more styles!

Fun Wedding Game

We’ve all been there—the interminable bridal shower or wedding reception. Here’s an inventive way to add excitement to the occasion and create a priceless keepsake for the bride and groom. Gamesakes Wedding Game lets you share sentimental or silly memories of the bride and groom by writing them down on cards. Record memories of life’s journeys from birth (“Mary said her first word today”) to present day (“Mary said I Do!”) and move your pawn along the game board path.

More fun than a guest book, longer lasting than a toast, the cards can be filled out at a shower then placed at the table settings of any wedding-related event as conversation starters and decorations. Includes game board, 300 gift cards (to be completed by family and friends), 4 pens, 1 die, 6 pawns, directions and instruction card. For ages 12 yrs. and up. Check it out!

Sugar and Tea Favors

I must have a thing for tea today because here is another cute favor that I found. One of the vials pictured above is filled with heart shaped drop tea and the other is filled with heart shaped sugar cubes. These would be perfect given as a pair or separate. You could even give the sugar vials with a cute package of personalized coffee. Either way this is a unique favor that I love. Buy This Item!

Photo Guest Book

Instead of having an ordinary guestbook, that you hardly will look at again, you can create a photo guest book.  All you have to do is to assign a couple people to be guestbook attendants. Then as the guests arrive have the guestbook attendants take Polaroid’s of each guest. They can be taken individually or in the group they arrive in. Then put the pictures in a guestbook/scrapbook and have the guests sign the bottom of their picture. This gives you a book you can enjoy forever. Plus you may actually look at this one again.

Wedding Crayons

If you are having little ones attend your wedding this is a must! I thought this was the greatest idea. This coloring book and crayons set will help keep the children occupied during the wedding and reception. I have a 17 month daughter and she would definitely need this to make it through a long ceremony. Plus it is a cute little gift from you that they are sure to enjoy.
