KEN: So, friends are getting married and they are having a "beach wedding," and they asked me if I could come up with some ideas for wedding favors. So, I've come up with three ideas, all relatively inexpensive. The first are doing shell magnets.
First thing I'm gonna do, is get a stack of magnets. These are self-adhesive. I'm just gonna take some nice looking shells like this; I'm gonna stick the magnets on the back, and I've got shell refrigerator magnets. I would wrap this up with some cellophane, put a little hangtag on it with the couple's name, the date -- people can take it home. Idea number 1.
Another really great idea is to do shell napkin rings. I'm starting off with some very simple sort of wicker napkin rings because it sort of fits in with the rest of the table design they're doing, which is a relatively rustic one. Again, seashells. Then it is the handy-dandy glue gun. And then we pop the shell right on there. Let it hold for a few seconds to get a good grip, and you're done!
Now, if you're getting all fancy and it's one of those kind of weddings, here's one that I think is just beautiful and lovely. An individual napkin box for the guests. So I start out with a napkin holder box -- you know, this is whole so it's standard size paper cocktail napkins. You do want to make sure you got at least a little of an edge here so you have something for the shells to grab onto. And then I'm going to start layering on shells and create a sort of, you know, build-up.
Start off by just putting a little bit of glue here on the edge, and set down the shell right on there. And let's see, let's add maybe a fancy shell. Maybe we'll do this one over here. And then I'm just gonna do, kinda one more -- and I'm just gonna put that right there. Then, you're basically done.
But then -- nice, if you're really good, I would get cocktail napkins monogrammed with the different guests' initials. Slip them in here, wrap that up in a cellophane bag, raffia, a little name tag. That looks like a million bucks.
So there you go. Three options, I think they're all great -- hoping my friends will like them. I have a sneaking feeling I will be making one or all of them for this party.
