GIFTS FOR GUESTS--PLACES TO GO FOR ATTENDANT GIFTS
Okay, these are things that we can and will make, however, it would cost about $5-12 per dozen. Unless you have a lot of money to spend, suggest you make them yourself. Decorated bubbles are the cheapest. Again, we'll be happy to tell you how we do any of these except for special order items.
These are ballpoint pens, wrapped in florist's tape, with flowers on them. If you put them in a pot, like above, they work as centerpieces and giveaways.

You can buy these wedding bells in white, gold, or silver. You can go real cheap and just put them in a basket. I put little wedding rings and flowers on them.

Now this is a real clever idea. Buy spoons in the color of the wedding. To save money, you can use white ones. Put two kisses in the spoon, wrap with netting, and put a tag on it. Tie the netting and tag on with curling ribbon for wrapping gifts. The tag says "A spoon...full of kisses, From the new Mr. & Mrs." (This tag was done on a home computer.)
These are made by a friend of mine. If you'd like her to make some for your wedding, click on the little doggy for information and the e-mail will go direct to Jan. They can be used as napkin holders or place cards or just as wedding favors. Matched to your wedding colors.

These are a lot easier to make that it looks. It took me about 20 minutes to do the white one and I hand sewed it, versus using the machine. Two reasons--1) I was too lazy to set up the machine 2( I wanted to see how long it took and if you could do it by hand. You can, and it's fairly fast. You can fill them with mints, as I did, or you can fill them with the Jordan almonds used at weddings. You can make them all one color or mix and match. You can just lay them at each table setting, put them in a basket and pass out, or turn them into table decorations. Many options. Cheap to make and super easy!

I'm really hesitant to put this company on here because I hate their candy. It's just terrible. Okay, okay, that's a lie. It is by far the best I've ever eaten. You can contact them through their website (click on their logo) for special prices on favors. If you don't find what you're looking for on their site, contact them through the website and they'll quote prices. Like for bags of individually wrapped hearts. And, by the way, if you use them for your wedding, please send any leftovers to me. Below their logo are some samples that would be perfect. And, yes, those are chocolate cigars! How cool is that?
