For wedding favors at a wedding breakfast or reception a number of
interesting little souvenirs can be inexpensively prepared. For
instance, there are wee fans (bought at the doll department) with the
date lettered on each; tiny straw baskets that look like the one
the flower girl carries and are filled with very small artificial
forget-me-nots and rose-buds; airy butterflies of white and pale
yellow silk, to be fastened to fine threads above the table in the
dining-room, where they flutter realistically over the flowers
beneath.
More frivolous are very diminutive bridesmaid's hats, and at the
wedding of a bride who is going to travel far away there may be small
boats, either real or of cardboard, with a flying flag of matrimony at
the masthead.
The old-fashioned posy gift cards with clasped hands are quaint; so
are the little nosegays in white paper frills, and every guest will
like a box of bride's cake.
