Posted by Chrys in Christmas Weddings, Decorations, Valentine's Wedding, Wedding Favors on February 18th, 2008
The week after valentine’s day is a great time to get your hands on romance/heart themed items at huge sales! Over the next few days, I will be searching for and sharing items I find on sale that would be perfect for a wedding! For now- check out these finds from Terry’s Village (click on the pictures to find them)
)
This wirework heart is 13 x 11 1/2″ and absolutely gorgeous! Just tie a ribbon to it, and hang it on the doorway into the chapel/reception area. Or, hang 3 at varying heights behind the head table. These are on sale for $6.75 each, so you can easily add a few to your decor without spending a fortune!
)
These heart shaped cookie magnet set would make a lovely wedding favor, and at $3.97 for 6 – that works out to about 65 cents per guest!! VERY affordable, and perfect for a pink or red wedding theme.
)
Here is one find that gives you an entire centerpiece in one, and the entire thing is $8.97! All you have to add is a candle! This centerpiece works for a red wedding any time of year, but if you are planning ahead for a Christmas 2008 wedding, the red berries will fit right in as well!

And one more worth mentioning, these adorable little gift bags! Just add some chocolates or other treats, and you have a wonderful favor. These are on sale in sets of 3 for $4.97.

DIY Favor Box Templates
Posted by Chrys in DIY Weddings, Wedding Favors on February 15th, 2008
This fabulous DIY project was featured on Something Old, Something New earlier this week. These DIY favor boxes are made using a template from A Little Hut that you can purchase for $3.99. You get all four templates, and you can pick your favorite or mix a few together for a unique touch.
There are so many ways you can change this up without much extra work. The easiest way: paper. You can pick any color you wish, or even pick a patterned paper with a modern sleek stripe, fun polka dots, a preppy plaid, etc.
If you want to take it a step furthur, you can personalize the design even more using stamps, glitter, or small rhinestone appliques. Or wrap a satin or paper ribbon around the sides of the box.

Some Great Oriental Trading Finds!
Posted by Chrys in Decorations, Flower Wedding Themes, Wedding Favors on February 15th, 2008
I was just surfing though the Oriental Trading wedding section to see what they had on sale and two items caught my attention! The first was this Glass Cake With Dove Topper
which comes with a gorgeous gift box. It’s on sale for $2.95, and it could make a great wedding favor if your budget allows. Otherwise, it would make an adorable little keepsake for your wedding party, parents, grandparents, etc.
The other item was this White Hydrangea Wreath which is on sale for less then $6! It would make a gorgeous, affordable center piece. Just add a candle in your favorite color and VIOLA!! Centerpieces under $10! Want to make it a little fancier? Many wedding rental companies will have glass or silver raised cake trays you can use to lift it off the table for an extra wow factor, and then sprinkle silk petals underneath. Still very affordable.

Wedding Cookies
Posted by Chrys in Wedding Favors on January 30th, 2008
Here is another great idea for wedding favors. These custom cookies start as low as $1 each and can be decorated to your specifications! Shells for a beach wedding – leaves for a fall wedding. A winter wedding I attended recently had gingerbread snowflakes with white icing as their wedding favors. Need some more ideas? What about a flag for a July 4th wedding, or a castle or frog prince for a cinderella themed wedding. The cookies shown here are from Ali’s Sweet Treats. They also offer photo cookies – made using a photo your provide! They can package them in cello and ribbon for you as well.

Ferrero Favors
Posted by Chrys in DIY Weddings, Wedding Favors on January 22nd, 2008
Here is an AWESOME idea for a wedding favor/escort card combination that is both classy, unique and affordable! Take a look at the cost breakdown:
The Chocolate: Locally, I can get them in a pack of 3 for $1 any time of year. That’s 33 cents each. If you buy large packages, it’s even cheaper. And – they are beautifully wrapped right out of the box!
The Tooth Picks: Get good ones, it will still only cost you about $2 for 100 or more!
The Circles: Make it easier for yourself and buy or borrow a large circle punch. Check on eBay, where you can get one for $10-$15 or so. Look for something around 1 1/2 – 2″. Design a simple circle and print out 15/sheet on cardstock, then punch out with your circle punch. Make sure to print two for each name. Use double-sided tape to attached the circles to the picks.
Not into the computer thing? Just punch out plain circles and decorate them with stamps or have the names done in calligraphy (adds to the cost though).
Cost if you buy a punch and print your own: less then 50 cents per favor!
