I've spent the past month and a half planning a bridal shower for a friend. Well, technically my role was assistant to the Maid of Honor... but she graciously allowed me to take over.
The shower was this past Friday. Now the bride has seen it all and I can share the details here, starting with the favors.
I was looking for something affordable and easy to make for a guest list of 22. I somehow came across this project for candy pouches and it seemed like just the thing! I was able to gather all the supplies easily and the only expense was the Jelly Belly jellybeans inside (in the shower colors).
Kraft paper is nonexistent here so I used Molly's hefty supply of lunch sacks to cut out squares.
To personalize the candy pouches I used two of Molly's letter stamps for the bride and groom's initials, and carved my own stamp out of an eraser for the heart.
Then it was just a matter of sewing three sides of the pouch, pushing jelly beans inside, and sewing it closed.
I think they turned out quite nicely.
