Receiving a wedding invitation is nowadays an honor and that implies taking the time to prepare a gift for the bride and groom; a detail independent of the money they will receive or the wedding list the couple is registered to. Why? Because making something with their own hands is more personal and it shows all the love they have for each other.

It's true that there are many gift ideas out there, but if you want something DIY, beautiful and also very tasty, then consider giving candy. Yes, a simple and easy wedding gift that they will surely enjoy. And to not get too complicated with the format, here we show you this tasty alternative: a glass jar filled with the most varied sweets and with a personal card to dedicate to the couple.

What are we going to use?

  • A medium to large glass jar.
  • Heart-shaped gummies or soft pastilles in this shape.
  • Chocolate coins, the typical ones wrapped in golden metallic paper.
  • Candy in the shape of pills or the classic colored candies.
  • "Washi tape or rice paper adhesive tape, with different and varied designs that serve to make different decorations.
  • Rope like the one in the photo (raffia or rustic type or satin ribbon).
  • Drilling machine.
  • Card for a dedication.
  • An envelope to put the money in for the gift in the size and colour of your choice.

What steps should we follow?

  • First, put the ingredients for a happy life into the jar:
  1. Happiness pills.
  2. Coins of fortune.
  3. Heart-shaped gummies symbolizing love and passion.
  • Then, with "whasi tape" or masking tape, decorate the glass jar.
  • Finally, punch holes in the envelope and card with the hole puncher and tie them to the jar with the string.

This is your very own model of the famous happy pills and what better way to give them to a couple who are about to start a new journey together. Add a dedication to the card and why not, all those childhood sweets! It will be a nice and delicious surprise for the bride and groom.
