digital DIY wedding: table cards, favors, and bridesmaid gifts (part 2)

(This is part 2 of digital DIY wedding ideas.  See {last week's post} for information as well as ideas for save the date, invitations, and programs.)



Between last week's post and today's, I'm honestly just scratching the surface of what Heritage Makers can bring to your wedding, reception, dinner, or open house!


See the sign-in book, the wedding album, the cupcake wraps, and the "carry-out" sticker?

SO MANY CREATIVE, PERSONAL POSSIBILITIES!  I love it!

Today I want to show you three.  So let's get started.

TABLE CARDS

Also called "table tents," these can be made from a 12x12 scrap page.  Obviously, these can match your wedding colors and your whole theme.  I know someone who had a burlap and lace theme and found the most darling burlap and lace digital art.  It was perfect.  (If you missed last week's post, be sure you read it.)


There's one design idea.  Here's another. 


2023 UPDATE:  Heritage Makers became YPhoto under Youngevity (which purchased Heritage Makers in 2013).  YPhoto uses only templates, so the creativity showcased here is no longer available there. Best-in-the-industry quality and permanent cloud photo storage with guaranteed privacy are required for anything recommended here by Photo & Story Treasures, so we highly recommend Forever.  

Using Forever's Artisan program for digital scrapbooking, you can make items similar to those shown here.  This video tutorial shows you how to craft with high-quality scrapbook pages, and this one shows you how to use Artisan to create something unique and then print at home (for instances in which you need thinner paper, sticker paper, etc.)  You can see just a few examples of crafting I've done using Artisan here, including cards, magnets, dry-erase boards, and other products.



Cut apart, then fold in half.  Done!


The lite version of the 12x12 scrap page is around $3.  Done this way, you get 16 place cards.  They stand 3" wide and 1 1/2" tall when folded.

FAVORS (and regular address labels)

This is one of my favorite things to do!!  The regular address labels are obviously fantastic to use as address labels.  You could even put a photo on them instead of the monogram.
 

But truth be told, the coolest, most impressive thing you can do with these labels is make chocolate favors out of them!


They wrap perfectly around Hershey Nuggets!  Get ready for your jaw to drop.



Address labels come in a set of 54 for about $3.  



Here are both styles (one with the monogram, one with the photo) together.  How perfect is this?



BRIDESMAID GIFTS

There are honestly too many ideas to list them all here, but I'll give you a couple.

First, you could create a sweet Bridesmaid Book.  This is an 8x8 softbound book.


These are obviously very personal, and not your run-of-the-mill online photo book.  

Another idea is a keepsake mug.



 It's a very special way to make your Special Day just that much more special!

  1. I love these ideas! I wish I was getting married again so I could use them! Ok so not really wanting to get married again. Maybe knew someone getting married so I could insist that they use them!

    1. LOL. :) No, this post is definitely not intended to encourage anyone to get married again. Yes, sharing with someone you know would be awesome, but these same ideas can be used for birthday parties, baby showers, etc., too!

  2. So cool that you can make all that stuff! You should go to bridal expos and offer it as a service :) (Maybe you already do!)

    These would be great for a small dinner party too. Thanks for sharing Jennifer!
