Make your very own Christmas Cracker Favours!
***
Let’s be real, a Christmas table without pigs in blankets or Christmas crackers is basically just a regular Sunday roast! Now we’ll leave you to sort the pigs in blankets (please do, it’s a must!), but we’re here to help you with the rest (aka the crackers).
If you’re getting married at this magical time of year, providing crackers on your reception tables is the ultimate festive touch. Make them your favours, maybe even personalising the contents to each guest / group of guests, print off some jokes, pop in a party hat and you’ve got yourself a favour, festive table decor AND an ice breaker in one. Heck, add the person’s name to it and you’ve also got a name card…4-in-1, doesn’t get better than that!
Tip: Either attach a simple gift tag to the ribbon at one end of the cracker when you’re tying it, or keep an eye out for our follow up tutorial on how to add your chosen personalisation using Cricut! We’ll include the link here, and in the YouTube video description box as soon as it’s available. Now available here: https://youtu.be/-J6031HOSWw!
We’ve created a free cracker template for you to download and use (personal use only please) to make life super simple! In fact, we’ve gone a step further and made two! If you’re here armed only with a pair of scissors or craft knife, then our less complex template over on our ‘Wedding Downloads’ page is probably the one for you…go ahead, download, cut one out & use as a stencil for the rest, then pick up our video tutorial at the assembly stage (time stamps in video description box). However, if you’re super nifty with a craft knife or have a Cricut, give this jazzier template a whirl:
Our tutorial will talk you through every stage of how to create your perfect wintery Christmas Crackers using Cricut / Cricut Design Space, and how to assemble them to get you all the hostess-with-the-mostest points at your Christmas gathering!
Let us know how you get on! We’re very excited to see these on your tables, whether it be your winter wedding or Christmas Day family gathering, tag us in your photos over on Instagram!
Wishing you a wonderful festive season,
— Rebecca & Laura at Bride Society.
