IM taking small boxes and putting a rose on top of the box...and will put the name and table # of the guest and fill the boxes with red snow caps ( the picture is the box without the rose on top and will be white with a thin red ribbon around it ) these will replace the place cards
i was also thinking of making a million little chocolate red hearts to place on the saucers when coffee and tea is served.
I love the craft ideas that come from all the amazing people here! This is such a thoughtful and creative idea!

Re: craft idea
A live rose or a fake rose? (I'm just trying to picture it) It seems like a great idea - aren't you ambitious!

I saw this done in a magazine. But they had their initials made in chocolate. It was really cute and I was thinking of doing it myself. Good luck, it sounds great!!

Re: craft idea
Speaking of boxes, does anyone know where i can get little white boxes just big enough to fit the traditional 3 or 5 jordan almonds? My idea is to put the almonds in the box and then put a monogram seal on the top and put one at each place setting...
The reason why I want to do this is to still have the almonds, but just not attached to the favor.....

Re: craft idea
Do you think 2 x 2 should be good...they call it 'Bon Bon' so I am assuming it means it is good for candy!!!!

Re: craft idea
Next question-Can I get round labels from Staples..like ones that are similar to the little ones used for price tags, but bigger, in order to make a monogram seal for the top of the box?

I just bought the round labels this morning from Office Depot for work so I am sure you can get them at Staples.

Re: craft idea
2x2 might be a little big - is there anything smaller? Otherwise you could always fill the box with tulle and then but the almonds in it to prevent them from shaking around too much.
As far as the labels - I would think that Staples should definitely have them. Otherwise you could just get regular sheets of the white adhesive...print out the monogram and cut with a circle punch. But I'm sure they have them already.
ETA: I just saw that 2x2 is the smallest - I think it'll be fine...just consider some kind of filler like the tulle.

The tulle is a good idea! Thanks...

Can you tell me which ones you bought...like an item # or size or something...not sure what to get!!!!! I am looking for round ones that might be as big as a quarter, maybe a bit bigger??? TIA

Re: craft idea
beleive it or not...but good old martha has the greatest ideas..thats where i get them.
we're making the box place cards, the choclate hearts for coffe/tea saucers and mini phot albums, my aunt, mom and i are painting a calla lily on each...for the favors... we're also going to make our programs and menus. i saw in a mag this idea for tabel numbers...the couple is holding a sign with each number on it and making goofy faces or just looking cute and its a black and white picture..... it looked real cute i love crafts so i want to do as many as possible....but i highly reccomend marthas wedding ideas magazine
