Seedling Kit Favors

June 12, 2009


Check out the instructions for these adorable seedling kits over at Project Wedding. I love the idea of giving something that is both “green” and will last for longer than a night. I’ve seen the idea for seedling packets several places but this take it to a new level!

Team eeat on Etsy

May 12, 2009

It’s possible I am a little late to the game here, but did you know that you can now purchase edible items on etsy? Not surprisingly, most of them are really reasonably priced. The shortbread cookies above are only $14.95 for 36 cookies, packaged and tied with ribbon. That’s not even a dollar per cookie! There are some really great favor options for showers, weddings, really any kind of party. I am considering ordering these chocolate dipped oreos for no good reason at all…

Damask Birthday Party

July 1, 2008

I received an email last week from a reader, Marie-Eve, who used a damask motif to throw a 50th birthday party for her mother. And what a lucky mother she is! Marie-Eve used the image above as inspiration for the whole theme, starting with these beautiful invitations:
She decided to use black, white and yellow as her color palette and incorporated some yellow lanterns into the decor. She even made damask drink umbrellas! How great are these? I would say that they are my favorite part, if it weren’t for the favors…
Enclosed in this adorable package were individual tubes of chap stick! Who doesn’t love that, I ask you? I would be (maybe a little overly) excited to get that as a favor at any party.
Both cute and useful, so well done. You can see all of the pictures of people enjoying the party here. Thanks for sharing, Marie-Eve!
