so i was thinking the other day and this light went off in my head... I was very close to my grandma and she will not be here on my wedding day...i still miss her everyday since she has been gone but I want to incorporate her into my wedding. I wanted to do donations to cancer society in her name but i wanted to include something with it. So I got this idea, my grandma was a great cook and she ALWAYS made this one type of cookie ( we have her recipies). so I was thinking maybe we could make the cookies and put 2 or 3 in a cute box with a bow on it and then attach a card wth the ribbon explaining the donation in memory of her... what do u girls think? We are having a vienese hr and mabe a candy bar is it too much??

I think its a great idea! I dont think it will be too much because they will take the cookies home with them - not necessarily eat them at the wedding.
You should use a heart shaped cookie cutter
Hey Alexandra..havent seen you in a while! how everything is goood... I would totally do them heart shaped but they arent that kind of cookie...and I want to make them exactly how she made them

Everythings good, I've been sooo busy with work, but hopefully in May things will quiet down and I can be on here more! Thats true I didnt think of if they were already a specific shape. I think its a really cute idea!

I think thats such an awesome idea. We are making a donation in memory of FH's Mom to the cemetary she is buried at for a garden project they have. We are attaching the favor card/note to a bag of biscotti & chocolates.

I recently saw a card that has seeds for flowers attached to it...that would be cute since the donation is for a garden
I think the website was beau-corp.com

I think its a great idea. The v-hour is for them to eat at the wedding and it's not as personal. So I don't think that the cookies will be too much 'sweets'
The cookies are personal and its an added touch. . . Many people give donations as their favors but not many give something personal with it.
