Charitable Gift Makes a Unique Wedding Favor
P
amper your wedding guests with a special keepsake they can treasure. After all, you want to thank each and every one of them for sharing in your special moment. It’s also a fun way for them to remember the celebration long after the wedding day is over. Here are a few ideas to spoil your guests: Place a small silver bell at each place setting, and then observe the tradition of kissing your new spouse each time one rings. Fill favor boxes or organza bags with a sweet treat, such as Jordan almonds or pillow mints. Small silver frames can do double-duty as wedding favors and place card holders. Greet guests at an outdoor wedding with ornate fans to keep them cool. Encourage your guests to kick up (or off) their heels by providing a basket of cute flip flops for dancing. Another memorable gift is to honor your guests with a donation to a charity that is special to you and your fiancée. Announce your gift on a handcrafted tag attached to a beautiful candle. The decorative candles can be clustered around the centerpieces at the reception or simply used as the centerpiece itself.

String a few small wood beads over the ends of some of the cords, and tie love knots to secure. Trace a 5-inch circle on the back of green cardstock. Cut a petaled flower, using the circle shape as a guide. Using the green flower as a template, cut two more 5-inch flowers from recycled paper. Attach these to each other with adhesive dots, ruffling, wrinkling and distressing the edges. Cut a smaller green flower, slightly larger than the circumference of the candle. Cut the edges with scallop-edge shears and attach to the top of the stack of flowers, with the candle centered in the middle.
