Yes...I use double-sided tape that does not show. Yes...I use artificial flowers, beautiful baubles, and fabulous ribbon. Yes...I crease the edges with bone folders and hide ends whenever possible. Yes...I have been known to use fabric, scrapbooking paper, and many other types of wrapping to achieve maximum effect.
Do they have a program for this? I hope not, because I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. I love giving gifts, but I really love making those gifts special to reflect how special the receiver is to me.
I recently had the opportunity to wrap over twenty little party favors for a bridal tea. They were wonderful little Victorian floral porcelain boxes that fit right in with the theme of the party. So, of course, the wrapping had to be just as fabulous. I was very happy with how they turned out.

It's all in the details.

We decided to personalize them since the tea was almost all family members. It reflected the closeness we all enjoy and will share with those we are welcoming into the family.

The tags were a lucky find at Michael's by my Mom (Yvonne). I actually found a Sharpie that was close to the same color! We included a little rhyme on the back thanking our guests for joining us.

Bridal Shower favors are almost as special as Baby Shower favors. They represent so much hope for future happiness and love. When they are for people you care deeply for, you want them to be as big as your heart.
My Mom teased that they would like the wrapping more than the gift. I think it just made them seem even more spectacular. Our guests were definitely appreciative and I have very great hopes for the beautiful couple.
In the spirit of the Bridal Season, here is hoping all you couples are finding all those details to make your day special. God Bless to you all!
