Wedding Favour Boxes

Never again! That's all i'm going to say! Well that's not all i'm going to say and most likely I will do this again but at the moment - nooooooooooo!

So to make some sense of all of this rambling I will explain: My church does this event called a wedding preparation day for couples who are to be married at the church in the year ahead. The event is to teach them the shocking statistics of divorce rates and make sure that they understand what they are commiting themselves to - after the fantasy white wedding that is (if that doesnt drive you to wanting to call the whole thing off in the first place that is).

Anyway, the whole event has been a massive success since it started 2 years ago, and this year they also have other vicars from the diocese coming to see what its all about by request of the bishop - oh joy of joys! lol! so mayhem all round - but hey!

Because this years event is going to be so much bigger than either of the previous years - due to the sheer numbers of couples getting married, my vicar decided to do a new twist to the seating arrangements and set the whole thing up like a wedding breakfast with a seating plan and place names etc etc - pretty cool actually! but he then decided on wednesday night that he fanced favour boxes too so phoned me and asked if I could run some up - by last night! eek- oh and could I do 7 designs (different designs for each table) in a range of numbers (depending who was seated where).....ummmm ok? ha! never again will I be so idiotic as to agree to doing this again, well in so short a time- especially as I was in work all day thursday and friday.

But anyway, I finished them and this is what I came up with:

 

Pink hearts in pearl card with double mounted foam hearts on a swing tag, tied with pastel pink ribbon

Green hearts in pearl card, with heart flourish from cuttlebug die, tied with forest green ribbon

Pink handbags in pearl card, with large paper flower - centred with pink gem and tied with pale pink ribbon

Purple handbags in pearl card with 'love' postage stamp from cuttlebug collection impressed in mink pearl card

Purple pyramid in pearl card, with heart embellishments in mink pearl card, tied with pale purple ribbon

Teal pyramid boxes, decorated with pale bronze pearl embellishments with teal gems, tied using pale teal ribbon

Purple truffle boxes in pearl card (image shows front and back), with large paper flower - centred with clear gem and tied with pale purple ribbon

So there you have it - all the boxes made up: 7 pink hearts, 8 green hearts, 7 of each of the pyramids, 4 of each of the handbags and 8 of the truffle boxes = 45 boxes in total.

All materials from my stash, except the base card stock - and before anyone asks; no I do not have a machine which cutes these boxes, they are all hand drawn and cut out!

Hope they go down well - I don't know how they've been recieved as I'm currently at work *shush they don't need to know i'm on here* so mums dropped them off.

Thanks for looking everyone! Hope you have a fab weekend and happy crafting! xx
