Teacup Floral Display

• Create a small floral display by wedging a small amount of floral foam into the bottom of a small tea cup. Stick silk flowers into the floral foam to create a full floral display that sits in the teacup. Glue the floral foam into the teacup for more security and stability for the flowers. The teacup floral display is ideal for a formal bridal shower or wedding party.

Wrap a strip of ribbon around the candle and secure it with craft brads, which can be pressed straight through the ribbon into the wax. Used jeweled pins to affix silk flowers or cardstock scrapbook decorations to the ribbon. Similarly, pin a large ribbon bow to the candle using a jeweled pin.
  
  

Candy Cone

• Create a narrow paper cone by rolling up a square of cardstock. After gluing the cardstock into place, glue a ribbon around the cone. Decorate the ribbon with a bow or with a cardstock scrapbook decoration. Slide the cone into a box of raw rice so that it will stand upright and fill the cone with candy. Leave the box where your guests can take the decorated cones.
  
  

Soap Bubble Favor

• Purchase enough small soap bubble blowers for your guests. These plastic containers have a bubble blowing wand attached to the lid and they are widely available at toy stores. Cover the bubble blower's label with a label that you have created or printed off of the computer. Use double-sided tape to fix the label to the plastic container. Some ideas for labels include birthday cakes, fireworks, the date or a phrase associated with the party.
  
  

Paper Crane

• For a party with a Japanese theme, make each guest a paper crane. Paper cranes are simple to fold, but they still look impressive when you place many of them in one space. Make the cranes out of shiny foil or out of paper that matches your party's theme. Set them next to each guests plate or strew them around the house, allowing the guests choose one.
