Wedding Favors

Saturday was my son's wedding and everything was perfect!  It was a beautiful wedding and so much fun!!  These are the favors we made for all the guests.  The boxes were made with the retired Matchbox die and I embossed the covers with the Lacy Brocade embossing folder from the Holiday Mini Catalog...it was perfect for their vintage style wedding.  Their engagement pictures were punched with the Extra-Large Oval and then mounted inside the oval Designer Frame.  The flowers were created with the Boho Blossoms Punch, plus the flower from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack. 

I wish these pictures had turned out a little better...after assembling 200 of these, I needed to take the picture and get on with all the other wedding preparations ; )  Before adding the photo, I spritzed the finished boxes with Champagne Shimmer Mist, which is hard to see, but it added beautiful shimmer. 

There were many steps to creating these, but I had many helpers...thanks to my mother, my new daughter-in-law and her mother and aunt, and my son for all your help : )  They were filled with delicious chocolates for each of their wedding guests.

This is the happy couple.  It's the only wedding picture I managed to snap on my phone (thus the poor quality).  Such a beautiful couple...I couldn't be happier for them!!

You're an awesome mother-in-law! These are wonderful favors. They couldn't have been inexpensive to make and they look very time consuming. I'm glad they were filled with chocolate rather than matches.

Thanks Fiona! These were definitely time-consuming...not something I would do on a regular basis. But for my kids, well worth it!!

Wow, you have more patience than I could ever imagine. No way could I make 200 of anything so fiddly. Beautiful job, they look amazing.
