Favors - ornaments w/ sand from ceremony beach

I got the heart ones on sale at Michaels last year. There were lots of different styles there, but make sure you get what you need as once they are gone from the christmas stock, they don't get more.

I was thinking of getting some little bottles to put sand in, but then my Mom saw the orniments at Michaels, and I loved them. The first pic posted with the heart shaped one is what I am handing out.

They are at Michaels right now actually.

Dumb question, because they are such a fine glass, how did you ladies pack them in your suitcases? Plus, I'm planning on putting them in my OOT bags, so would it be one ornament per couple or per person? I'm guessing per person.

i love these! they will soo go with the theme of having message in a bottle invites!

How are you going to pack them though?

We are doing each person as they are the favor for the wedding. The package they come in works well to protect them. I am leaving them in the packaging and putting them in my carry-on.

Good idea. Where did you get the clear boxes from?

Well, the ornaments got veto'd out. Instead, I'm going to use baby food containers that I'll dress up with ribbon, shells, and starfish. I guess they will travel a little bit better too, because I'm breaking out at the rafters will all the crap I'm hauling down.
