I had a housewarming dinner party with my friends from work last year and I decided to make it a little bit more special by making everyone their own place cards that they could take home with them. I chose my favourite origami patterns and created little envelopes by folding the origami paper in half and stitching the side for a more hand crafted look. And to make it even more fun, I put random goodies inside each envelope which everyone excitedly opened to see what they got. It was like Christmas all over again!
I always like dinner with friends to be more interactive and add an element of playfulness to it. These are super easy to make and your guests gets to take home something special that you personally made for them.
these are beautiful – i love the patterns!
thanks! just checking out your blog and i love your throw pillows and necklaces!!! so beautiful.
Beautiful – What a great idea.
Can you give an idea of what kinds of "goodies" might fit inside?
We stuffed the envelopes with lollipops, candies, stickers & chocolates. Basically anything that is small enough to fit inside. Have fun!
