Pretty Pastels ...Wedding / Party favours

I was trying to achieve a simple shabby Chic look with these favours and buntings. Not sure I have achieved that but the colour combination is very pretty.
The bunting was an experiment to see if it would be suitable for a table plan.
 It would certainly look more professional if the names were printed out and then punched out and stuck on the bunting rather than my scrawl.

Wedding/ Party Favours.

The wedding season is coming round again so I thought I'd dig out some old but rarely used dies and make a few wedding / party favours.
The colour for these was inspired by a colleague who has chosen burgundy as the colour scheme for her wedding.
I was having mental block and  I couldn't imagine what burgundy favours would look like, So I decided to make up a few for a clearer picture in my mind. I have to say I was quite impressed by the way these came out.

All of these items are very quick and easy to make, even for a beginner.

For speed and ease I decorated these  favours with an  inexpensive bling ribbon.

When you have a lot of favours to make,  the best advice I can give is to  keep it simple.
Something complicated or time consuming will drive you crazy once you start getting into double figures.
The chances are, if you're making your own favours, you're probably making your own matching invitations, RSVPs  and table plans  etc.
You really don't want to be spending all your time on fussy favours when you have an entire wedding to plan.

Here is another I forgot to include in the header photo.
