| These

a wonderful favor, but the add to the décor of any
table. I made over 100 in about an hour for a friends wedding,
and the looked beautiful on the tables. Once again supplies

Change the colours to suit you needs these where done in classic
white.

Write
the guests names above the thank you, if you know somebody
who does calligraphy you could get them to do it, if not
use a gel pen.

at each corner.

with a dab of hot glue.

one flower in each holder.
The
finished product!
This
could also be done one for each couple to help cut down
on costs too but $128.98 for 100 of these cute favors is
still very frugal, plus they do double duty as table decorations
and look very elegant.
