My cousin has found out the sex of the baby and it is...drum roll please...a BOY! Boy oh Boy, we are so excited! So now I can get going on all of the other party decore and plans incorperating the blue theme. And now that I am offically done with my buissness AA I sure do seem to have alot more time on my hands!
One of the ideas I came up with for party favors is mini water bottles. I just think they are cute and kind of different. So I started out with your basicl small 8oz water bottle. I purchsed 5, 12 count cases for $2.97. After I peeled off the original lable I measured and cut the appopriate animal print paper, which I got on sale for $.25 a sheet (12 sheets total). Then taped it on like so:
Next I added a bow to each of them. Using left over ribbon from the invitations that cost 3.99 a roll.
Then using mounting tape a placed a small square on each bottle.
And finally added the personalized thank you!
I really love how these simple favors turned out but after making 60 of them I can hardly stand looking at them for a little while. That's right...60 I'm pretty sure every female she knows is invited but hey the more the merrier! But that alos means 60. Of everything!
So including the mounting tape and the other nessisary supplies this whole project only cost me about $27 which is really only 45 cents a bottle. Now thats what I call a good deal! There are several more things I am working on. I tell ya the list keeps on growing. We've started joking how this is going to be the social event of the season. But really.
I can't wait to share the rest of the fun stuff I have in the works. Now off to tie 60 blue ribbons to the invitations!
