Winter Party Favors

closeup 1 cocoa tagI’m sorry I have been MIA for a week or so. We were at Disney World celebrating our anniversary {and getting a huge dose of Christmas inspiration!}

We are back and tonight is our  Christmas Open House – I am SO not ready! Still trying to clean and deck the halls plus I have soup to make!

As I try to pull it all together, I snapped a few photos of my party favors. I’m giving each family three vials of hot cocoa.

I found this wonderful idea at The Inspired Bride – Maddie is so creative! While she created these hot cocoa vials as favors for a winter wedding, I think they will be perfect as favors for guests at our Christmas Open House!closeup of cocoa tag

I have coordinated my ribbon and tags with the invitation - yes, I’m a little OCD  when it comes to that kind of stuff. I like to take the theme from start to finish.

Maddie gives full instructions on how to make these and where to buy the vials. I made up my own cocoa mix so that you use one vial to 6 oz. of milk.closeup on cocoa wrap

Here’s a closeup of the wraps I made. The bottom layer is wrapping paper.  I ran doublestick tape down the middle of the paper wrap to secure it to the vials. That really secures the entire pyrimad.

The next layer is a 2″ plaid wired ribbon. The top ribbon is a 5/8″ brown snowflake grosgrain. close up of bag and cocoa vials

I used twine to attach the tags I made. I’ll put each bundle into a simple red paper bag. I tied a bronze jingle bell to the handle and affixed a lable to it that says, “Merry Christmas from The Kresnyes.”
