I didn’t have a blog when I was making wedding favors. And I’m sure that if I had, I wouldn’t have had time to blog anyway what with wedding planning and tax season…AGHHH. So I’m posting about them now. For wedding favors, I made burlap bags with felt flowers sewn on and a button! I made the felt flowers with my die cutter! I tried cutting them out by hand but that lasted about 5 minutes. I would highly recommend a die cutter for anyone with wedding planning…and even with the die cutter and the supplies. I still spent less than I would have if I’d bought favors. In the bags I wanted to put a daffodil bulb but turns out that they are impossible to find in late April so Momma and I went down to Ace hardware in Gray and bought some Gladiolus bulbs. I put a little piece of paper in each bag explaining what Gladiolus’ symbolize faithfulness and honor (perfect marriage symbol).
My programs are little booklets that included our proposal story, the attendants, etc.
Thanks to my awesome bridesmaids for staying up tying 200 programs & favor bags with ribbon the day before the wedding! I love you Allie, Alicia, & Sarah!!
I love gladiolas. Very cute bags! What kind of die cutter did you use?
THANKS! I used a sizzix. I think its one of the only personal sized scrap booking die cutter that will cut felt. A lot of them only cut paper.
