The Sisterhood was in charge of the wedding giveaways of Randy and Stella. We were doing chaplets to St. Therese. We thread memory wire through 24 pearls, 26 silver filler beads, and through a St. Therese medallion. Put some glue on the silver rubber-filled stoppers and voila! A chaplet!
Chaplet making was a lot of work; fun, but a lot of work. We had to make 400-500 chaplets...and these were for the female guests! Woodeb beads were used for the male guests; we had 300 of those.
Wish we had learned of unique wedding favors* sooner, hehehe. A plethora of truly different kinds of giveaways, including gifts for the wedding entourage! For the scrapper in me, there were picture coasters and a mini-album. There's a bunch of personalized favors as well, ranging from matchbooks to champagne and water labels, to CD labels. Other unique favors include a bucket of flower seed packets (personalized of course!), chocolate bars (yumm!), wonderfully-shaped rose soaps (they look real, too!) and totally cute wedding cookie favors! These are sugar cookies shaped and decorated to look like the bride and groom.
So for the next wedding, I'll be sure to look this site up for different wedding favors for sure. Let's see....there's Mom and Dad's 40th wedding anniversary and Rod and Zhar's wedding. What do you think, guys?
