Savor The Favor

February 28th, 2008 @ 8:27 am by Mrs. Penguin

Eons ago I set out to Gocco our coaster favors to match the motif of our invitations.  I’m so close to being done, I can taste it!  Here’s a peek at how it all came together:

I Gocco’ed the front of the coaster with two passes, and the back with our new monogram and wedding date.

Next, I filled 130 small square kraft jewelry boxes with a layer of blue Jelly Bellys.

Each guest will receive 6 coasters laid on top of the beans.

Using the Gocco Hand Stamp, I printed a circle design on the top of the boxes to give them a little more color.

Finally, I threw a paper tissue pom on top of each one. Since each place setting will receive a set, I thought the pom would spice up the tables and add a little more color to the tablescape.

Because my wedding isn’t until June, I’ll have to store these suckers in an airtight container. But I was determined not to be slaving away over favors at the last minute! Each set cost a little under $1 to make.
