Reception favors

A huge shout out to my CTMH upline, Joanne Zubal and unit sister, Melinda Flax for helping me on Saturday put together about half of the reception favors for my wedding! We had a wonderful evening together - working and talking (and giggling!). A note about what this entailed: I found pillow boxes on clearance at Mich@els in the baby section that were a lovely pale pink - almost so pale you couldn't tell they were pink! I went all over town to find 300 of these babies (oops, pun not intended!). Because the pillow box paper was kind-of slick (i.e. no stamping) I came up with the idea of using an embossing template and running them through the Cuttlebug. Joanne can kill me for that idea later! Inside we put small food-quality bags filled with personalized M&Ms in pink, cream, white, red, and maroon. Then we wrapped a ribbon, tied a bow of coordinating tulle to give it that "poofy-wedding" look, and created the labels (using Spellbinders scalloped oval dies) and made them into stickers using the Xyron sticker machine.

Joanne & Mel also helped me pick out one of the wines to be served at the reception ;-) What troopers!

My weekend has been so busy and so awesome! I am so thankful for my friends who cared enough to come help me!

Hugs!
