Christmas Bauble Place Setting / Wedding Favour
***
Let me just say, this week’s DIY is one of my favourites to date…super-cute bauble place settings / favours…I’m loving them to the point that I am pretty tempted to organise a winter-time vow renewal for my husband and me just so we can have these! (And because I still kinda love him, but mostly for this festive DIY, shhhhh.) “Why don’t you just host Christmas and make them for your Christmas table?” I hear you say, well ok, in my case that might be the way to go (for now!), but I REALLY want/need someone to make these for their wedding! So please let us know if you do and send us photos, we’d be so excited to see them.
We kitted ourselves out with all the components to make this DIY from Hobbycraft – they have a really good range of bauble types to pick from this year and so many fun things to put in them, so if you’re not feeling our bottle-brush miniature trees, check them out for alternatives. What’s great about these (other than them being adorable and full of festive joy) is that whilst they will function as name place settings for your tables, they are also a favour your guests can take home to put on their trees year after year, always reminding them of the special day they shared with you. We’re all for favours that last, though don’t mistake me, as a wedding guest I’m still 100% for edible favours, cookie me up any day of the week and I’m a happy guest, but we think items with a keepsake element may just have the edge. I (Rebecca), still get pretty excited when I spot elements of my own wedding favours at the homes of friends and family.
