i did cake balls and chocolate dipped spoons. Everyone seemed to like them.

I am waiting for my diabetes to go away so I can buy a dozen of the cake balls and stuff my face Chat Icon



Just so you know, I actually made up a song and dance about cake balls.

It's called "Cake Balls in Yo Face."

I think the nail polish is adorable.

Who cares if the shade is not to everyone's preference - you will never be able to please everyone.



ITA. Love the nail polish idea!!

Bottle of nail polish? It was cute on pinterest



I like that idea.



Saw this on Pinterest:

Also saw this one which was super cute:

We did the smores for my baby shower and actually we did the mason jars for my SIL's bridal shower.

For the smores- I ordered vintage looking tags from a vendor on Etsy which came with twine to tie the tags on. Picked up little cellophane bags from Michaels. They were a big hit!

ETA: Just realized there is a photo in my album!

Re: shower favors

i like the nailpolish idea but essie is $6 a bottle. for that price, i can get a "bigger" ( size matters to old greek women) favor. and just do chocolate lollipops myself as an edible favor.

unless yoou know of a place that sells essie for less?


was also thinking of doing bottles of wine with custom labels? or champagne??

wouldn't champagne/wine bottles and then on top of that custom labels cost more than $6 per item?
I think either candle or umbrella (the tiny one that folds into a small bag) are nice enough gifts.

u can also do small olive oil and a custom label of growing tree, or something to that effect
something maybe like this http://www.marthastewartweddings.com/225360/rosemary-olive-oil-how
tho maybe ur greeks will not be that happy with olive oil LOL

btw, Barb its me Reg

Flowerpot with seed
Xmas ornament (closer to Xmas)

shower favors

OMG Kathy....I just saw this and was about to answer. I'm so glad that you use the cute umbrella I gave out as favors at my first shower!! =) LOL, I was going to recommend that.

You would be surprised, the Greeks like something NEW and unique and the edible favor is a wonderful idea! I love the honey idea, the glyko tou koutaliou, and olive oil idea (as long as its Kalamata) Last shower I went to they gave out the homemade chocolate lollipops and cupcakes wrapped up in very cute boxes (went to a few Greek showers and they did this). You could give a small pot of vasiliko or something if you want to go with that flowerpot idea. Or natural soap, one like chamomile or lavender scented like they have in Greece? wrap it in toule and put a piece of lavender as a decorative accent.
