Charmed Thank-You Cards
Materials:

clear flat bags (to fit card)
4"x6" folded card
3"x5" flat card
8" piece of ribbon
pewter charm (significant to the bride and groom)
hole punch (small diameter)
glue stick


1. Print the bride's and groom's initial on the lower portion of a 3"x5" card (figure A).

2. Print or hand-write a thank-you message inside a 4"x6" folded card (figure B). It would also be appropriate to include a note about the significance of the charm: for an Irish wedding, for example, one might choose a 4-leaf clover, or for a wedding at a winery, a charm with a small cluster of grapes could hold great appeal.

3. Center the flat card over the front flap of the folded card. Punch 2 holes approximately 1/4" apart and 1/2" down from the top, through both the flat card and the front flap of the folded card (figure C). You can either use traditional round hole punches or punch once with a "ribbon lace" punch that provides 2 slits in the card.

4. Thread ribbon through the holes, lacing the smaller card to the larger card, and tie on a charm. Trim the ends of the ribbon (figure D).


5. Slide the card into a clear flap envelope and seal the back (figure E).

Memorable and romantic wedding

Wednesday, August 20, 2008

Every blushing bride wants to have a memorable and romantic wedding that will be remembered for years with pleasant memories by all that attend.

The purpose of this eBook is to help accomplish this, even if you or the bride to be is on a tight budget. It’s not expensive catering and thousand dollar dresses that create lasting memories.

It’s the beauty of the day, the sunshine smile of the bride and the feeling of being special for that one moment in time, no matter if you are a guest or the bride herself. This is what makes weddings special, romantic and memorable.

Many brides spend a lot of money on expensive plastic wedding favors and gifts for the guests that have no sentimental value. Many guests also spend lots of money on new gifts for the bride and groom that really do not hold special meaning at all.

It’s rare that you see a true heirloom shared at weddings these days.
In a world full of manufactured material, it’s so much easier to just purchase something quick just so you can say you care, instead of actually making an attempt to show how much you actually do care.

“Wonderful Wedding Favors And Gifts” not only provides patterns for true heirloom gifts, but it provides also provides sweet memories as you crochet lovely sachets for your bridesmaids, or wonderful Victorian gloves for the lucky bride to be.
No matter what your budget, you will find that none of the projects provided in the eBook require more than $20.00 investment, most only require $5.00 for thread, stuffing and a crochet hook.

So even if your budget is tight, you’ll find your gift one of the most appreciated at the wedding, because it reflects much more value than money alone and also appears to be quite an expensive gift.

There is something provided for everyone in this manual. Sachets for bridesmaids and guest, Victorian purses, flowers, garter and gloves for brides as well as décor for the wedding table like nut cups and lacy looking napkin rings.

If you run a wedding related business, then these projects are wonderful items to add to your line of wedding gifts as well. If you do not operate a wedding related business, you can still make a nice profit by making these fabulous gifts for new brides to be.
