I have to admit, my mom did set up the table and family brought most of the candy. I made my DIYs ahead of time, and promised my mom that I would leave the set up to them!! She had good intentions for helping the rest of the time, but doesn't totally get my style, and I didn't want to have her spend a ton of money on it. I wish I could show you guys the prizes though!!!! We didn't take a picture of them. My mom found a TON of pink and black things- planners, calendars, little books, pedicure sets, etc. Everyone took home several little gifts, and we still had leftovers!!!

 

 

 

BTW ladies, one of my favorite (AND EASIEST) things I did was the candy bar sign. If you have a font you love (in Word), just go into the font pop-up and choose EMBOSS. Then change colors as you like, or go bold or italic if you need to. Print, frame, and you're done!! My font was "respective" which I downloaded.

Here's one I forgot. My mom made Cherry Dreamsicle Fudge (super easy) and we cut them into squares, put in cellophane baggies from 

Hobby Lobby (like 100 for $2) and tied with ribbon. I cut out two circles and glued together, then stamped them. The thanks and flower were

part of the same stamp. Got it at Walmart for $1. This whole project (20 favors) probably cost less than $7. And the more you make, the cheaper 

they get basically.

Next project: luggage tags! 

These basically went the same as my key card holders, up until the point when I laminated them. 

 

 

Finished product:

The back has the same white paper, with printed name, address, and telephone number.

Here are my finished travel packet contents!! I was SOOOOO relieved to get these handed out, and OUT of my sight!!

 

I had plans for printing the names on the front of the envelopes in blue and green with starfish, but then I went to load 

the envelopes, and they were TOO BIG!!! Oh well, blue and green marker worked too.
