The party is BBQ so we might have wicked breath. I’m a librarian and my husband’s a book nerd too, so the wedding incorporated some book themes. How about wrapping paper you saved (because your mother made you crazy like that), or other reuseables – paper bags? Magazines? I’m having an anniversary party this summer – we had a tiny wedding. I like the suggestion of using wallpaper samples.
While there’s some waste, these are less Earth-clogging than many (most?) other favors, and unless you make everyone wash their hands, individually wrapped mints make sense. For me, it’s usually knitting in front of Law & Order SVU.Ģ. It is good to know that so many other people measure time in Episodes Required To Complete Craft. (No shame in that!) Mint matchbook favors from MoreThanWordsABC These mint matchbook covers are from AppleBlossomWeddings Here's a similar mint matchbook favor concept from Shind圜o– but with TicTacs!ġ. Here are some of our favorite mint wedding favors from Etsy… you can use them either as inspiration, or just say “fuggit” and buy your favors from an artisan instead of DIYing. Want some DIY mint matchbook ideas, or maybe just want to bail on DIYing it? Use what you have in your stash, or grab a good deal with a Michaels' coupon, but don't go broke on mintbooks.Ĭheck out how one Offbeat Bride made her DIY mint matchbook favors look awesome: I used three different scrapbook paper designs, in part because I had a book of paper that only had two sheets per design and I didn't feel like buying more, and in part because the perfectionist in me likes the cheap-ass in me to say “no, it's supposed to be mis-matched, silly!” to which perfectionist me says, “oh, ok, cool - thanks!” Don't let a nice cheap project like this get unduly expensive on you.
#MATCHBOOK FAVOR TV#
Makes a great project for sitting in front of the TV watching a season of something on Netflix.) Applications: (I recommend assembly-lining this - trace all of them, cut all of them, etc. TaDa! Your minty matchbook is freshness on fire! Now just repeat till you have enough and/or the bag is empty. Step 5: Fold the top piece into the bottom, stapled fold. Step 4: Insert the mint's plastic wrapper edge into the smallest fold and staple near the fold, catching the wrapper but not piercing the pocket holding the candy. Step 3: Cut out the traced paper and fold along scored lines. Using the back of a butter knife, score the folds. Step 2: Trace template onto scrapbook paper. (Or if you don't have a printer, cut out a rectangle 2″ by 5″ out of heavier-stock paper.)
#MATCHBOOK FAVOR HOW TO#
How to make your DIY mint matchbook wedding favors Doesn't even have to be mints - a rainbow of colorful sweets = awesomesauce, but mint's the idea in this post. I like the spearmint, but you should grab a bag of your favorite flavor. Lifesavers' individually wrapped mints are what I use, but your mileage may vary. Special note regarding mints: I'd advise only making one per guest or so.
