Drink Photo Dots from My Own Ideas blog #labels

(Used in this project: Small Circle Vinyl Labels in Custom and Vida styles.) Celebrate simply and with a lot of class, using little dot labels with a photo of the person-(or people)-of-the-hour. Put a photo of the special people on a small circle label, and use it to decorate champagne glasses or any number of other surfaces. Be sure to select vinyl labels, because they are easily removed from glass and metal, and can be used again. Choose a high-resolution, high quality photo of the … [Read more...]

Bulb Favors

Bulb Favors from My Own Ideas blog #diy #spring #favor #wedding

(Used in this project: Circle Labels and Diamond Tags in Summer Garden style.) Did you know that just about any bulb will grow in rocks? Neither did I until I came across an article about paper white bulbs. The article explained that as long as the bulb was always touching water and the container was heavy enough to take the weight of the plant, it would grow. I wanted to try it myself just to see, but paper whites were no where to be found since they are a winter flower. So I picked up a bag … [Read more...]

Lingerie Cookies recipe from My Own Ideas blog #wedding #bachelorette #bride #lingerie #cookies #recipe #baking #favor #diy

(Used in this project: Heart-Shaped Labels in Soft Hearts style, Large Labels in Lace style, and Large Square Glassine Envelopes.) I first saw this idea on Pinterest, and from numerous sites— however, since my bout with Royal Icing for the Apple Cookies, I knew I had the foundation for creating these cookies without much instruction. All I needed was a heart-shaped cookie cutter and a lot of practice. These cookies are so pretty for my friend Melody’s bachelorette party! At first, I … [Read more...]

(Used in this project: Circle Labels and Scallop Tags in Kashmir style.) Whether your feet contend with high heels, hard floors, and long days or get a workout in runners and gardening clogs, they deserve a little pampering, right? When I come in from the garden in my very favorite gardening flip flops I'm sure to leave a dirt trail behind me. But even after a hot shower and a quick sweep, my feet still ache from the pounding they just took. I made up a herbal foot soak just to pamper my … [Read more...]

What better way to brighten up a shower than flowers...and seeds!? Beautiful flower centerpieces planted with a mix of butterfly blend seeds makes for a fun way to display favors. To Make the Seed Packets First, buy a butterfly or bee blend of seeds from your local nursery. They usually contain a mix of perennials and annuals that will grow best in your climate.

In order to celebrate our ladies-only weekend trip to the gulf, I wanted to make a beachy sweet treat- Key Lime Mounds covered in Coconut. I found instructions for a cute flip-flop box to dress them up in -oh so perfect for the occasion- and set them out adorned in Coco Palms labels before we departed! This recipe contains two preparation recipes, combining them, and then a presentation finishing recipe. I invite you to alter each to your liking as you go. The strongest flavors in the Key … [Read more...]

Homemade Tea Favors

April 30, 2012 by 2 Comments
homemadeteafavors-400a

Homemade tea blends are easy to make and package perfectly as favors for wedding or shower guests. The hardest part is deciding what kind of tea you want to make. Once it is all made up, you will find you have lots and lots of it, because a little bit of dried leaves go a long, long way. Make loose-leaf tea by picking your own homegrown leaves or buying tea in bulk, and blend the leaves as you like, adding herbs and spices. My first tea was mint tea, because I love it and because I have a … [Read more...]

Mints have been a classic wedding favor since the nineteenth century, when they were given in the form of peppermint candies as a luxurious sweet in the days when white sugar was rare and costly. Today, mints are still the sweet of choice for American brides, and you can add a personal touch by making them yourself and adding a personalized label. Ingredients: • 12 oz. cream cheese • 3 lbs. powdered sugar • 6 drops peppermint flavoring, or as desired • food coloring Put all … [Read more...]
