Jean FAVORS: Assembling Favors

Q: I absolutely love the favors I've seen in your catalog and have gotten many creative ideas for what I want mine to be -- but how will I ever find the time to get them assembled before the wedding?

A: Don't worry -- this isn't something you have to tackle alone! I suggest planning a favor assembly party in conjunction with a fun, girls-only pampering evening including your bridesmaids and other special friends involved in the wedding. Invite them over, cook your specialty or order in pizzas and have plenty of beverages and snacks on hand. Have all the elements ready to put together -- boxes stacked nearby, netting circles ready, ribbon cut to size, treats handy for placing inside, etc. -- and let the assembly begin! After the favors are assembled, bring out the makeover products, such as facials, masks, nail polish, hairstyle tools, etc. You may also want to splurge and hire a massage therapist to help get rid of pre-wedding shoulder knots! By combining work and fun, you'll not only make short work of getting your favors completed, you'll have great memories of time spent with some of your favorite people in the world!
