Here's a chance to think about the words you'd really like to write on your heart, or those of your children. The votives are easily made by putting stick-on letters on the glass and then spray painting them. For complete instructions on this and other heart-felt projects, see the book MitzvahChic.

Guests take the hearts home and plant them. The hearts themselves are from Andover Accents; the pochettes are from Paper Direct.

The link below will download a songsheet to sing the Ve’ahavta, which is the prayer that includes the exhortation to put these words on your heart. We highly recommend getting the Debbie Friedman recording and everyone singing it together.

From the book MitzvahChic, this is the complete table evoking "heart." A heart-shaped balloon is lit up from within. It features ribbons cascading over a monogrammed pot. The look is completed with "Words on Your Heart" votive candle holders, heart-shaped boxes of gold-wrapped candy, heart-shaped plantable paper favors and glass tubes of heart-shaped tea and sugar. See the book for all resources.

Beautiful photo bookmarks are ready to present to your guests as they have a designer "Thank You" message in the photo frame. Another idea is to set this bookmark on your guest's table with your child's photo tucked into the miniature leather frame or you could use the photo frame as a place card holder. Comes packaged in a sheer white organza drawstring bag, measures approximately 4 inches long, and is available in white, deep red or silver leather.
