Free Printable: Secret Santa Drawing Gift Tags with Wishlist

With Thanksgiving being less than two weeks away, I thought I would bump up my post on the Secret Santa Drawing Tags. I received many nice emails and comments requesting the template so I thought I would put up a free printable. As always, this template is for your personal use only please.  

Secret Santa Drawing Tags (unfolded and folded):

To download the free printable for the card, click here.
To download the free printable for the belly band, click here.

All you need to do is download and open the files (they are in PDF format).

Fill in the amount you want to use as your minimum. You can leave the Secret Santa name blank or fill it out yourself. 

Print out as many copies as you would need onto white cardstock. You can use regular printer paper if you don't have cardstock on hand. Cardstock will definitely be more sturdy and last longer. The cards are designed so that it's convenient for the Santa to keep the list in their wallets for quick reference. 

Trim the cards down using the green borders as a guide. 

Trim the belly bands so you don't see the white trim. 

Fold the cards so that the bottom section of the card that says "Your Secret Santa is..." is on top like in the picture below.

















Wrap the belly band around the folded cards and tape to secure and you are done!

Just make sure the person entering the drawing writes their names within the red lines of the card so that their name would be covered with the band.

If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me a quick email. Hope this helps!

Buttons and Bowties Baby Shower for Our Little Boy

When I was pregnant with Gabby in 2009, my cousins threw us the cutest pink and brown birdie baby shower. It was the first "crafty" party in our family and the start of many more themed events. It was no easy fete considering we had a guest count of over 100 people!

This time around, my cousins truly outdid themselves with a buttons and bowties theme for our baby boy. Everything from the invitations, food signs, water bottles to the place settings, party favors were all handmade. 

It was such a wonderful afternoon surrounded by amazing friends and family. Our little growing family is definitely blessed. 

Invitations: The invitation had a blue felt bowtie attached to the top and placed inside a hand-sewn fabric shirt pocket sleeve. It was designed to resemble a man's button down shirt.
