Freezing Favour Wraps


This is a Favour Wrap, basically it houses a cute little quote about winter, our list of songs that will be played, both that the guests have already heard during the ceremony, as well as the songs they will hear throughout the remainder of the evening, and it also holds their hot chocolate favour packet. It all folds up and is sealed with a little snowflake!

Every person at each table has a different quote, as well.

Don't mind the slight creases and wrinkles in this one, this is the mock-up version, the example. The rest are flawless and crisp.

2. Folded into a wrap shape.
3. Designed and printed out a long narrow white piece of paper to insert into wrap.

5. Inserted favour.

Brrr!
