“Hi Marlene,
Here are some pictures from the Sheva Berachot I made for Susan and Maurice Kassin. The theme was pink and red. For napkin rings, I printed out a wallet-sized picture of them from their engagement in black and white. Then, I punched a hole in the corner and alternated between pink and red ribbon to tie the picture around the napkin. The name cards are heart shaped sugar cookies with hot pink sprinkles covered by a rectangular shaped cookie with names written in edible marker. The giveaways are pink pillow boxes filled with Red Hots candies and tied with red and pink ribbon to coordinate with the theme. Hope you like!”
