Make It: Party Favors

So, my wonderful best friend is getting married in a couple of months, in a small family and close friends ceremony! So in honor of her impending nuptials, I am throwing her a lovely bridal shower next week following the same theme of the wedding so those that won't be at the wedding will get to experience the beauty of her big day.  We wanted to add a personal touch to the favors as a little thank you to the guests.  So, we came up this idea. I had the bride sign a "thank you" on a piece of paper and put it on labels.  Since she loves candle, we tied each "thank you" around the top of the candle for the guests to take with them when leaving! It was actually really easy! Here are the steps:

1. Sign a piece of paper with desired saying using a Sharpie.  Using a sharpie is important so that it will read clearly when you scan it.  
2. Scan the piece of paper into your computer and save the document.  
3. Once saved, open it up and crop the image so there is as little white space around the signature as possible, and save it.
4. Open a new word document and format the page for whatever size label you want to use.  I just used a standard address label. 
5. On the first label insert the image and format it to fit on the label.  
6. Once it is formated on the first label, all you have to do is copy and paste it onto the other labels, and print it.
7. Once printed, peel off the label and mount it on a piece of card stock.
8. Cut it to size, punch a hole in the corner, string a contrasting ribbon through, and tie it on the top of the candle!

Cute right?!
