For those having your guests throw petals....

What are you using for individual packaging?

Re: For those having your guests throw petals....

I was going to use the rose petal cones, but instead....I put the petals in a basket and had my friend walk around and told them to take a handful.

I put them in baskets too... my florist threw them in for free. And I had my teenage cousins holding them outside the door to the church.

I used Doily cones, filled them with rose petals and kept them all in a big basket!

The one pictured by Mishu was the one I used for my wedding.

Re: For those having your guests throw petals....

those cones are so cool with the names inside and everything. all the weddings i have been to have either been bubbles or these pop things that papper flies out of. I really like the rose cones

Re: For those having your guests throw petals....

They are relatively easy to do on the computer. I used really heavy cardstock so closing the circle was a bit tough. Double-sided tape didn't hold so I had to use tape AND a staple. That's why I put the seal on, to cover the staple. I like how it came out in the end anyway.

If anyone needs help, let me know. I'd be happy to help!

I used favor boxes that I got on sale at Michaels for 22 cents each

How did you get the print on the side?

Re: For those having your guests throw petals....

I did it in MS Word and just angled the text box

ETA - I still have it on my computer - I can e-mail you the template - just FM me

You can just print the template on regular cardstock and cut in into 6x6 squares, fold and put a dot of hot glue to hold them.

How many cones did you make?

JENNCHRIS Posted: Jun 09, 2004 11:48 AM

Re: For those having your guests throw petals....

I had 150 guests and I made 70 cones - which was just enough.

Re: For those having your guests throw petals....
