My wedding will be December 14 of this year and I have had a hard time
comming up with what to give to the guests. I recently attended a
wedding where we each received a photo before we left of us with ur
date or family. I thought this was unique (better than the traditional
candies or something like that. Anyways since the wedding is near
Christmas I thought it would be nice to find Ornaments and write my
fiance and I's name and wedding date on the ornament. Has anyone ever
done this? If so is there any place that I can go to to get something
like this done at a bulk price? I hope that as Christmas approaches I
will have an easier time getting info about something like this, but I
hoped maybe someone else out there had some ideas. |

-We are getting married one week before you (six months from
yesterday--eek!), and we had considered doing ornaments as favors.
As it turns out, we aren't (we're giving individual bottles of champagne
instead), but here is what I was going to do:
Buy glass ornaments in the wedding colors and glue Christmas-y things to
the top (sprigs of fake holly, evergreen, etc.). Then get some ribbon
printed with our names and the wedding date and tie it to the part that
the ornament hands from. I figured that that way people would have an
ornament and if they wanted our names on it, fine, but if not, they could
just take the ribbon off and still use the ornament. -This might take a little more legwork than finding a shop, but you could
save money by finding someone who does crafts and things from their home.
I have two aunts who do this, and their work is *beautiful*. I would
think that they would be more inclined to give you a discount than
someone who has the overhead costs of a shop, etc. They would also be
able to paint your names, etc. on ornaments that you bought elsewhere. To
find someone, I'd suggest going to a craft show in your area. Although
they won't be showing Christmas items yet (probably! who knows these
days?) they will be able to talk to you about the kinds of things they
can make. -i didn't do this for a wedding, but last christmas, i made victorian
kissing balls for my large extended family. i used interestingly
colored glass ornaments (perfect idea for wedding color here). then i
hot glued matching or contrasting ribbon around the ball in two
directions, like wrapping a present. a put a bow on the bottom where
the ribbons crossed and then glued mistletoe in the center of the bow,
sprayed gold or silver since green didn't match my color choices.
then on the top, i glued tiny poinsettas, holly etc. the kissing part
might make it a good idea for a wedding, you could even put little
tags on them with your name and date and the significance of it on the
other |
