Okay, this one is fun! These center pieces and hot chocolate bar were so cheap to do. The rustic yet elegant look is darling!
First off, the center pieces!
We cut our own wood slabs from fire wood we had out back. Then, with a wood burner, burned sayings into each one. It takes time, but cost $0.
Next, we got glass candle holders from the dollar store along with cream candles of different sizes. Add a little bit of ribbon, pearls, etc, (with a hot glue gun) to accessorize. Place all of that on a big wood slab. (Again we cut ourselves out back) Super cheap! This was for a wedding so we had a vase of flowers to add to this center piece. Those vases came from the dollar store and local D.I.
Hot Chocolate Bar! The yummy part!
With this you can add whatever you'd like, but here is what we did.
-We ordered in bulk 3 flavors of hot chocolate. (milk, raspberry, & mint)
-Marshmallows of course.
-Cinnamon candy sticks
-Chocolate peppermint dipped spoons.
-Soft Caramels
We got large glass jars from Walmart for the hot chocolate. Add decorative spoons for serving, fancy labels attached with ribbon, and they are complete!!
Dip spoons in melted chocolate of your choice with sprinkles, peppermint, etc. cute for displaying.
We bought white hot drink cups, plain cup sleeves, and with stamps, stamped the bride and groom's initials with a "Thank You" on each sleeve. The venue actually provided large drink dispensers with hot water.
This idea is so fun for winter weddings! You could even do this for Christmas parties, birthdays, or whatever else you choose. Who doesn't love hot chocolate during the cold winter months? We sure do and this was so fun to have at the wedding as guests left on their way!
