It May Sound Corny: Part I
It May Sound Corny: Part II
Unable to resist the chance for a food pun and homemade treat, I created yummy vanilla sugar favors.
However, we most certainly didn’t host our countdown celebration with the goal of receiving any gifts from our guests. But, we’re loved. ::shrugs shoulders:: It’s as simple as that.
In keeping with the food theme, I wanted to find a cute, creative way to thank our guests. For this, store-bought notes would not do. No, no, no.
A few more craft supply purchases – and a lot of cutting, punching and gluing – later, I had a pile of these. (Inspired by paper crafting guru Mrs. Eggplant.) The inside message alternated between “A melon thanks!” and “Thanks a melon!”
Cute, no?
Did your engagement party have a theme?
I love the cards, so clever!!! 
I’m definitely gonna have to steal this idea!
I was trying to figure out the pun and then I saw your sign. Too cute!!
I want to steal those thank yous! BM F is throwing me a fruit themed shower and those would be PERFECT! Super cute!
@AliCherri1: Go right ahead! Seeing as I borrowed the idea from Mrs. Eggplant, I’m happy to pay it forward.
That’s adorable! I love infusions, but I’ve never thought of infused sugar. Great idea!
I love the watermelon cards, so cute! Our engagement party theme was black, white and diamonds.
I love your sweet theme!! And vanilla infused sugar? How’d you do that?!
@purpleHaze79: It’s easy-peasy. Just cut open a vanilla bean — I bought mine online at http://www.bostonvanillabeans.com/ (if it’s good enough for Alton Brown, it’s good enough for me!) — and hold it captive in an airtight container with ~ six to seven cups of regular granulated sugar for a few days!
oooh! Thanks Miss B!!! It sounds delicious! I’m gonna have to try it!
