Wonderful Wedding Favors and Wedding Gifts (1.02Mb)
Make Your Own Wonderful Wedding Favors And Gifts For Pleasure, Profit, Joy and Happy Memories!
Every blushing bride wants to have a memorable and romantic wedding that will be remembered for years with pleasant memories by all that attend.
The purpose of "Wonderful Wedding Favors and Wedding Gifts" is to help accomplish this, even if you or the bride to be is on a tight budget. It is not the expensive catering and thousand dollar dresses that create lasting memories.
Many brides spend a lot of money on expensive plastic wedding favours and gifts for the guests that have no sentimental value.
It's rare that you see a true heirloom shared at weddings these days.
In a world full of manufactured material, it's so much easier to just purchase something quick just so you can say you care, instead of actually making an attempt to show how much you actually do care.
"Wonderful Wedding Favors and Wedding Gifts" not only provides crochet patterns for true heirloom gifts, but also provides sweet memories as you crochet lovely sachets for your bridesmaids, or wonderful Victorian gloves for the lucky bride to be.
There Are Over 30 Wonderful Patterns Provided In the Manual
16 Elegant Sachet Patterns ~ Filled with lovely scented potpourri, these sachets make wonderfully fragranced gifts or favors that are sure to please for many years.
Shoe Party Favour ~ This elegant shoe party favour is wonderful for holding tulle filled with birdseed or a few sweets.
Bridal Garter ~ Not just elegant, but also sexy, this garter is sure to bring a blush when the groom removes it.
3 Victorian Gloves Patterns ~ These make a wonderful gift for the bridesmaids. Crochet enough for the maids and bride to be for a matching wedding party that will be elegant and impressive.
5 Vintage Purse Patterns ~ Dainty purses for the bride, bridesmaids and even a wonderful coin purse pattern that's the perfect size for the flower girl.
Dainty Flowers ~ These lovely flower patterns can be used many ways. Decorate the gifts, pews, tables and even ring bearer’s pillow then let the guests take one home for a keepsake that will keep for many years.
There is something provided for everyone in this manual - sachets for bridesmaids and guest, Victorian purses, flowers, garter and gloves for brides as well as décor for the wedding table like nut cups and lacy looking napkin rings.
If you run a wedding related business, then these projects are wonderful items to add to your line of wedding gifts as well. If you do not operate a wedding related business, you can still make a nice profit by making these fabulous gifts for new brides to be.
There are many ways you can use these patterns for pleasure, joy, profit, smiles and lasting sweet memories. Be remembered 20 years from now as the guest that gave the bride a Victorian handbag that is then used in her own daughter's wedding.
Brides may glow with pride as they give their bridesmaids wonderful sachets that will be kept for many years to come, instead of plastic favors that are usually tossed in a drawer, forgotten and eventually lost.
Help make your wedding as memorable as can be. Instead of rushing through trying to get things done, while buying a lot of manufactured junk that will soon be in the trash, take a moment and enjoy some time to yourself with a hot cup of tea while putting your heart and love into wedding gifts and favors that will be loved by all.
