Recipe for a Happy Marriage

As most of you know by now, I love custom work! It seems each new request turns into another great item I can add to my shop. And I've really been working this year to grow my Wedding Section. My most recent request was just perfect!

I was asked by a friend to make a personalized recipe box with a "recipe for a happy marriage" engraved on the top for her sister's bridal shower.

These recipe boxes would make great bridal shower gifts, wedding gifts or even guest book alternatives.

My wheels are spinning with other designs I'd love to engrave on the boxes. My carved tree design might just have to be next. And they would be great with monograms or even Mom's Recipes.
 What other designs do you think would look great on these?

  1. Well, that is a good recipe to follow -- especially the "pinch of in-laws"! It will be great in your shop! I also like your other thoughts for the box.
    How about the word "Recipes" or "From the kitchen of xxxx" with designs of kitchen utensils or a stove, etc.

  10. That is a really cute idea! There are so many possibilities for these recipe boxes. I'm sure that there are some great quotes/sayings out there for mom boxes for Mother's Day, mom birthdays, etc.

  15. Edi, I think this is one of the best things you designed! This could also be a miniature keepsake box, possibly with a poem on the top that is chosen by the buyer, or a photo of a family member. Wonderful idea!

  17. the cake is a good idea on the top. If you could cut down on the verbiage, it might help for people taking a quick look.
    Very cute! {:-D
