Thanks everyone!!

For the memory candles, I printed the words onto vellum, then wrapped it around the candle and used double stick tape... then i hot glued the ribbon to the bottom and top of the vellum... they sell vellum at most craft and office stores... just make sure you buy the right kind for your printer... i accidentally bought laser, and i have and inkjet and the ink kept smearing so i had to go out and get another pack of vellum.

For the address labels, I actually drew that little figure in adobe illustrator, then printed them up onto labels...

If anyone needs any help, i have the whole summer off, and i usally get a bit bored during the day!

Those look so great!! I wonder, what program did you use for the menus and favor tags? Did you just use MS Word? How did you lay them out?

I may take you up on that!! I wanted my menu to be similar - is there anyway you can share the template you used?

Everything looks great!!!
