Maple Leaf Cookie Cutter Wedding Favors


Sweet memories

Send
a symbol of the season along with your appreciation to guests with these
adorable, maple leaf cookie cutter wedding favors
They're packaged on a card printed with “Truly cut out for each other” and
include a recipe on the back. Each time guests go on a baking spree after the
wedding they'll remember you and your special day! Tie colorful ribbon that matches your wedding colors to the cards for the perfect finishing touch.

 
Maple Leaf Wedding Favor Tag

"Leaf" it
to love!

Just
a little seasonal touch can go a long way when accenting your favors. Our leaf-shaped wedding favor tags 
are personalized with your monogram or personalization and are pre-punched with
holes to make it easy for you to attach to your favors. Choose espresso, green
or spice wedding favor boxes to really bring out the autumn flair at your reception and tie with ribbon to accent.

 
Espresso Pillow Favor Box Seal

Colors of the season

Start
this look with our elegantly rich, espresso favor boxes.  Fill them with delicious treats and tie with pretty ribbon to coordinate with your wedding colors. Then
personalize with a printed seal to show guests you've thought of every detail.

And
don't forget the favor presentation! Set up trays lined with seasonal leaves or
nuts and arrange your favors on top of them. Guests won't be able to resist!

Stay
tuned for more great fall ideas Friday!

Our custom creations for Bride Search Winner Michele’s wedding


Jean M Invitations and Accessories

We
thought you'd love to have a peek at some of the beautiful products we
custom-designed for Bride Search Winner Michele's wedding on April 17, 2010!
Michele is classy and stylish, and she wanted her wedding to reflect those
qualities. So we worked together to create the designs, styles and color
combinations that would create the perfect look for her day.

1. Michele chose
the gorgeous color combination of aqua and champagne shimmer paper for her
invitation and other personalized paper products. We re-designed our Grace
Layered Wedding  Invitation
  to include the special peacock feather design we created just for her! (If
you'd like to incorporate this design into your wedding, or if you'd like
to order this invitation style, please call customer service at
1-800-766-8595.)

2. Cream and aqua wedding napkins printed with Michele's custom peacock feather design set an elegant tone
at the wedding reception.

3. In lieu of
favors, Michele and Carl donated to their favorite charities in honor of
their guests. They printed these custom cards with notes letting guests
know about their donation.

4. Champagne
shimmer menu cards printed with their custom peacock feather design rested atop cloth napkins
— and a real peacock feather was added for a special, luxurious touch.

5. The wedding enclosure cards for the invitation were of champagne shimmer paper and featured aqua
envelopes for a beautiful look.

6. The peacock
feather design was incorporated into every element of the wedding, even
down to the custom bubble favor tags 
we created for the couple! Aqua grosgrain ribbon adds a bright finishing touch.

 

 Stay tuned for even more details about Michele
and Carl's beautiful, glamorous wedding!

in bowls for guests to indulge in. (photo: Michelle Pattee Photography)

When you're designing your candy buffet, don't forget to provide pretty little silver

Send a sweet reminder of your wedding home with guests — huge cinnamon rolls

Get patriotic with stylish red, white and blue items, and make your summer party sparkle!

What's
better than a summer bash filled with patriotic flair? Your color and
decorating scheme are set for you (red, white and blue, anyone?), and all you
have to do is provide your personal style and fun touches to make guests of all
ages smile.

 
Festive Cylinder Centerpiece


Think of creative ways to set your buffet table and provide treats for guests,
like using clear glass vases 
to hold red, white and blue treats.


Also choose rustic, Americana-style wooden boxes and bowls for serving up
picnic staples and s'mores fixings in cellophane bags 
tied with ribbon.


Use galvanized buckets filled with ice to keep bottles of water and other beverages cold. Use personalized
stickers
to mark your bottles for a fun and personal touch.


Don't forget the personalized napkins! Order plenty for guests to use
throughout your event. They can also be used to line bowls and baskets of food for a colorful accent.

 


wedding matches

Get
patriotic with your favors! Provide guests with sparklers or firecrackers and wedding matches 
in cellophane bags and have fun lighting up the evening.

 


Picnic Wedding Program

Help
guests keep cool by providing favor fans printed with your picnic menu, a welcome message or the day's itinerary. Add ribbon to match your look.

Happy
4th of July!

What’s the best way to break the ice and get guests in the mood to have fun and celebrate at your reception? Create a stylish and interactive candy bar in your wedding colors!

black and yellow wedding candy bar

 

We’ve put together an eye-catching and refreshing candy bar to give you great ideas. We’ve included:

How to you create a candy bar that’s perfect for YOUR wedding? First consider your wedding colors and find candies in shades that coordinate (and in different flavors and textures to keep guests coming back). Then gather together an interesting collection of vases and containers to hold the candies. Provide favor boxes, favor bags  and favor envelopes to hold guests’ candies. Then accent! Use ribbonpersonalized tags and little signs to let guests know which treat is which.

 

Have fun ­— and enjoy!
