Does anyone have any good ideas of any homemade guest wedding favors or shower favors?

   If you're into paper crafting – rubber stamping/scrapbooking then the web site below will be helpful.

   At the top right of the page is where most of the choices are for the web site…..

   Click on Resources.

   Near the top on the left of that page is Projects.

   Click that and they will appear in a mostly alphabetical listing. Which ever ones appeal to you the tutorial is just a click away.

   There are all kinds of ideas for different types of projects. You can choose the papers you use by going to a local rubber stamp or scrapbook store. They would be more than happy to help you.

   If you know someone who is into that stuff they might have a die cutting machine called a Big Shot made by Sizzix. There are some really nice dies such as the Pennant Die, there's a box die, and a bag die. Any of these would be appropriate to make as favors with candy or something in them.

   If you don't know someone with a Big Shot you can contact Stampin Up to find a demonstrator in your area who hopefully owns one of these machines and perhaps has some of these dies.

   Your local stamp or scrapbook store may also have a die cutting machine but I'm not sure if they have the dies to make boxes and bags and such.

   I hope you enjoy the web site and get inspired!!

   for my wedding shower- I purchased small white gift boxes- filled each one with hershey kisses and tied it with a pretty bow in my wedding colors- I attached a "Thank you for celebrating with us" It was really cheap and everyone LOVED it!!

   Recently we received small frosted votive candle holders which the bride and groom placed a clear label on which stated "thank you for sharing our day, xxx and xxxx" along with the date. Inexpensive, not too tacky.
