I've just finished making the paddle fans for our wedding so i thought id share with you all..
One side has a little thank you message for our guests and the other has the order of the day on so everyone knows whats happening when!
What do you think??
I loved making them so much ive put some on ebay to see if i can get some money out of doing them!

Ooooh what a great idea! We're getting married in a hot country and I was thinking of getting our guests fans but this is a lovely idea! Would you mind sharing what you used and how you made them?Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!Goal Weight 140lb Starting Weight: 160lb Current Weight 145lb0

Well i made a simple template on Word for the shape. On mine I can fit two sides on one sheet of A4.
Then you make a text box inside each template and write all your text out.
They're printed on ivory card that i got from pda and its left over from my other crafty bits!
The sticks are giant lollipop sticks. Or they're sometimes called jumbo craft sticks
Then you print each sheet, cut them out, glue the sides together with the stick in the middle and tie the ribbon round the stick. I've glued the ribbon onto mine so it cant come undone.
Hope that makes sense!!
I've worked out that they cost about 40p each to make.
We're getting married in June and the chapel we're getting married in can get very stuffy so im hoping these will get used!What matters most is how well you walk through the fire0 -
