Wedding Favors

Hello my crafty friends, I'm back as promised with the other wedding favors I made for my friend. If you remember, I made these favors here first. I made 61 of them. Then my friend asked for me to make some more favors as she wanted to give the adults some candy and she wanted something for the grandchildren to put candy in. She wanted to do more for the grands and asked me what she could do. I said get them a gift card to McDonald's since just about all kids love going there, so that is what she did. 

So for the grandkids, I did shopping bags for the girls with candy and the gift card and for the boys I did pillow boxes with candy and their gift cards. I placed a doily and a rosette on each favor with the wedding couples last name initial. I used the wedding colors of navy blue and white alternating the colors. And some cheap ribbon from AC Moore. 




For the adults I used a milk cartoon die. Filled with candy and stapled shut, I placed a bow over the staple and also added a "thank you" label.


 The restaurant wanted some name cards for the tables since my friend was having wine at each table, she later nixed that idea but I had the cards already done. I used my Cricut to cut out the cards and write the names on them. Then I stamped the blue stripes on them. I was glad when these were all done as my friend sprung wanting more favors on me two weeks before the wedding! But I think they are simple, but elegant. The restaurant loved them and wanted to know where she got them from. She told them and they told her to tell me that they could keep me in a job since they do so many weddings and that is one question the wedding couple ask about and want to know where to get the favors from. I will need to check angel policies first before I accept this "job", which would be perfect for me since I would be able to work from home. But I have to make sure I am legal first! 

As always thanks for stopping by and visiting a spell. Your comments always bring sunshine to my cloudy days and I thank you for them. The weather has cooled off and is lovely most of the time. We are supposed to get some rain which we so need!!! I will end this with a picture of Savannah, she is really growing fast, already 31 1/2 lbs and is 4 months old. As you can see she is just beautiful and I'm already so fond of her. She is a momma's girl like Pockets and stays by my side to protect me. She doesn't like it when I get out of her sight at all! Of course I'm all she had until Bret comes home. lol And yes she will grow into those ears!!!! lol




Crafty hugs,

Everything looks so stunning with those great designs on your treat packages! I love each and every one, and how awesome would it be to have a job like you've been offered?! WOW! You go girl! Savannah is one awesome looking German Shepherd! She's clearly attentive and looks so beautiful! She will definitely grow into those big ears, but wait! They're better to hear with! Any intruder wouldn't want to stare into those eyes in the middle of the night now, would they? LOL

Brenda, your friends were a lucky bride and groom to have you make them these very special and exquisite wedding favors for the guests! You did an incredible amount of work and fabulous designs! I can understand why the restaurant wants to hire you! Thank you for sharing the handsome photo of Savannah! I know handsome isn't usually a word for a girl dog, but she is one very handsome German Shepherd. It is super fun to see her now when she is too little for her big girl ears, lol!! Love and hugs, Auntie

Hi there, dear clever friend, why those favours are truly works of art, you're s clever and imaginative to think of them like that... Great use of dies too, and stamps. I pray all goes well for your little job from home.
And wow, Savannah is one big girl isn't she, love her alert look, ears pricked wondering what you're up to, taking photos etc...
I think she's gorgeous.
Thanks for sharing and God bless you,

And your precious dog is so cute!!! I LOVE german shepherds... I grew up with them... and my daughter wants me to get one so bad but I'm so afraid because of the shedding... they shed so much and I am not well enough to keep up with it lol. But she is precious!
