Bookmark Favors
So, here is a first for me, a diy post.
I really liked the idea of doing a simple favor for our wedding and after a lot of thought, I chose to do bookmarks. Gray and I both love to read so the idea is actually perfect and if no one else liked the favors, I knew we could deal with having tons leftover.
I started off by designing a simple bookmark in Pages (like Word but for Macs). Well, it looked great, but wouldn’t print off on my printer. I finally realized that in order to get them all printed, I would have to attach them to paper in the proper place and then print them. This took several hours (over 3 in fact) to do and we printed them all off on campus to save ink.
Once they were all printed, the task of hole punching them was up to me.
Then it was time to thread the ribbon through and thankfully, my lovely and awesome roomie and beautiful bridesmaid, Lory, helped me while we watched Spanish television. Yes, this is how we spent our Friday night.
The finished product was worth it though.
A summary of total costs:
3 packs of blank bookmarks from Michael’s: 2.79 each (50 bookmarks in each pack) for a total of 9.19
I already had the ribbon and I printed them off at a computer lab.. so my total was 9.19! That’s less than 10 cents for each bookmark.
