Wedding Favor Idea

Collect your favorite quotes about love, new beginnings, etc. and print out tags with a quote on one side, and "thank you", your names and wedding date on the other. A diamond or square tag can easily be made by printing as many as possible on a single sheet of card stock of any color, and then using a paper cutter to quickly divide them. Leave room for a hole punch at the top, and it can be attached to vases (with a few flowers in them) with ribbon, lace, or twine. The vases can vary is shape, size, and texture. Whatever is needed to create an interesting centerpiece. This will also make the gifts seem more unique (and therefore special) from guest to guest.

Another option would be to print out random facts about the couple instead of quotes, like where they met, when they had their first kiss, favorite colors, whatever. Anything fun and personalized :-)

These can double as centerpieces, and your guests can have fun reading all the different tags while sitting at their tables. A single tier cake stand could be used to help create an interesting arrangement with smaller vases.

Additionally, candy and/or packets of flower seeds can be wrapped in tulle and attached to or placed inside the vase.

I found these little charms for 50 cents each. Attached with a white ribbon to the quote/fact sheets, this could add that little something.

Another option, could design a couple "celtic knot" and/or cross charms and decorate with a bead or two.

I have used the wire jig they describe before. It is a fairly quick and easy process.
