Donations in leau of favors....

For all those out there doing this what kind of paper are you using????

I know someone said scrolls tied up with a ribbon...can you include a picture?

Any other suggestions other than scroll?

Thanks guys

do you have any pictures so I can see what the paper looked like??

Did anyone include a nice poem? And if so could you post it? I am so out of time

I bought a pkg. of parchment paper from Michael's (about $8) and made 2 scrolls per page. We put a red rose (clip art, color printer) at the top with the following text (centered):

Thank you for sharing in our special day

(the 'Thank You' was in a smaller text and we didn't skip lines)

After we cut the paper in half (we made 2 scrolls per page) we rolled them and tied them w/ burgundy organza ribbon (1/8' wide). Then we used lighters & burned the edges to give it the aged look. We just attached them all to our organza bags filled w/ Lindt truffles. Voila!

Over 10 months later, guests still say what a lovely idea it was....

Good luck!

We are also giving a donation. We are going to place an 8x10 frame on each table basically saying the same thing as Kathi's scrolls. Then a guest from the table can take home the frame just like the centerpiece.
