DIY: Sweet Gumball Favors

These colorful favors will bring a smile to your guest's faces and won't break the bank!
The stress of coming up with an inexpensive yet unique favor for your event is enough to make some people forgo it altogether.  These favors are not only easy and adorable, but can be personalized for your day.

Inspired by a roll of fabulous orange and pink paper, we ran with that color scheme and picked out the white, orange and pink gumballs from a large container of assorted gumballs.  We filled squares of parchment paper with the candy and sewed along the edges using a sewing machine, inserting a thank you tag as we sewed.  The result?  Sweet little pockets of a color-coordinated, totally unexpected treat!

Choose the color gumballs that work with your scheme, and personalize the tag to say whatever you'd like.  Place the packet at each guest's place setting; stack them in a bowl at each table; or display them on a separate table of treats.  You can even use them as place cards by putting the guest's name and table number on each tag.
