One thing that I love about planning evens and parties are all the little details. Here are a few items that I created for Jim & Michelle's wedding this past weekend.

Favor Bag Tags:

Michelle had an adorable candy bar set up at the reception and it was a hit with guests. Her favors were pretty organza bags affixed with these little tags inviting guests to help themselves to some candy to take home. The text on the tag went with the 'Old Hollywood" feel of the event by taking a line from 'Casablanca'-rather than simply saying thank you, they read "Here's lookin' at you, kid."

I created the text and graphics for the tags in Microsoft Publisher and cut them out with my Cricut. It took a little doing to create a template that I could align with the Cricut settings, but once I had the template created, making the tags took very little time and the result looked quite professional.

Table Number Luminaries:

These were quite easy to make and were quite dramatic on the tables. Again, I created a template in Microsoft Publisher, trimmed the square sides with a paper cutter, cut the numbers out with my Cricut, and assembled the cubes with craft glue.

Placed over a candle, these luminaries gave the tables a pretty glow and made it easy for guests to spot their seats. I was inspired by a tutorial I found on Intimate Weddings, but the Cricut made trimming the numbers quite simple. I really had no idea that a few sheets of card stock and a glue stick could make such an impact and was thrilled with the finished product.

I'll have photos of each of these elements in the tablescapes to share soon!
