A Cute Way To Use Tulips As Favors...
By Carla Carlise
I was so thrilled to come across this DIY project at ProjectWedding.com that uses Tulips as wedding favors. They are so cute, guests would just love them. It is a very cost effective way to be green and give a beautiful gift as well.
On a recent trip to a Home Depot in our area, at the entrance I noticed that they had potted Tulips on sale for just $2.00. There were at least five bulbs per pot, so Tulips can be found quite affordably right now.
You can read the article here on how to make the favors using the paper bags as seen in the photo above but what I love about this project is that you can also use the favors as centerpieces . By grouping a few of them together in just the white Solo cups, I think they would make an adorable table display. You can always personalize the cups with permanent marker and add ribbon from a Walmart or Michaels near you. A nice touch would be to add personalized ribbon instead from Efavormart.com and that way you'll be saving yourself half the work but get just as charming a result.
So take this idea and run with it... make it yours, find a way to make it suit you and your personality. I'm sure what you come up with will be brilliant.

DIY - Beach Favor Candy Pail
By Carla Carlise
For those planning a beach wedding, I thought this diy project from OrientalTrading.com would delight you. All the items you'll need you can find them here on the site but keep in mind, you don't have to limit yourself to the candy pail. I'll be using the ribbon detail with the starfish and adding it to a favor box or bag for the seashell candles I'm making for our guests.
MATERIALS:
- White Tinplate Pail with Handle
- Blue Organza Ribbon Roll
- Starfish Assortment
- Pop Up Glue Dots
- Glue Dots
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Place at least 3 glue dots spaced evenly around the top of the bucket.
2. Place ribbon around the top of bucket, and add one more glue dot to secure in place.
3. Tie ribbon to create a bow or cut a separate piece to make a bow and glue to the bucket seperately.
4. Use one more glue dot to add a starfish to the bow.
It's that easy!

Favor Idea: Conversation Heart Fudge
By Carla Carlise
- Ingredients
-
- DARK CHOCOLATE LAYER:
- 1 1/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- Dash of salt
- WHITE CHOCOLATE LAYER:
- 1 1/4 cups white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- Dash of salt
- OTHER INGREDIENTS AND MATERIALS:
- Aluminum foil
- 64 conversation hearts
- 64 red foil bonbon cups or mini muffin cups
- Clear or red cellophane wrap, cut into 64 5- by 6-inch rectangles
- Sparkly pipe cleaners in red, pink, or silver
- Instructions
-
-
Line an 8-inch square pan with aluminum foil. Set aside.
-
In a medium-size, microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate layer ingredients. Microwave the mixture on high at 30-second intervals until the chocolate is melted (about a minute), stirring at each interval. When the mixture's smooth, use a spatula to spread it evenly into the prepared pan.
-
In another medium-size microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate layer ingredients. Repeat the melting process as described in step 2, but stir at 20-second intervals, as white chocolate tends to scorch easily. Spread the white chocolate evenly over the dark chocolate layer.
-
While the fudge is still warm, use a knife to gently score it into 1-inch squares, then put a candy heart on top of each square.
-
Chill the fudge uncovered in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until firm. Lift the foil to remove the fudge from the pan and place the whole hunk of fudge on a cutting board. Use a large knife (a parent's job) to cut apart the squares, then peel off the foil from the bottom.
-
Place each fudge square into a foil bonbon cup or mini muffin cup. Center the cup on a cellophane square and wrap it as shown on page 53, using 1-inch pieces of pipe cleaner to secure the ends. Makes 64 bite-size pieces. Store at room temperature or in the refrigerator for added firmness.

Wedding Cake Pops from Bakerella.com!
By Carla Carlise
I love Bakerella.com! there you can always find a fun and tasty treat to make accompanied by lots of photos and step-by-step instructions so you walk away confident about what you decided to bake. My favorite recipes are those featuring her oh-so-cute cake pops. They look so fun to make and delicious too.. I'll be trying my hand at them for my son's birthday in January where we'll be making the Sesame Street Cake Pops, or probably just Elmo.
The Wedding Cake Pops, which look exactly like mini wedding cakes, would be perfect to use as wedding favors. Add a tag with the name and table number for each guest and you'll have escort cards and favors all rolled into one. Afforable, cute and tasty...what else can you ask for from a favor?

How about making some Creamy Chocolate Fudge Favors for your Guests.
By Carla Carlise
This is one of those recipes that you should try at least once if you are a chocolate lover. The fudge is so creamy and delicious, it would make excellent favors for wedding and party guests alike. However, I do suggest sprinkling a little powdered sugar over the tops to make them a little more attractive before packing pieces into your favors boxes.
You can find many favor boxes that are perfect for these edible creations here at Efavormart.com. My favorites are these that sell for $22.00 for a set of 100 since they are the perfect size for a petite piece of the fudge.
Give them a try and you'll understand why I know they would make a wonderful gift for anyone. They are sweet, chocolaty, delicious-ness!
