Remember how when I was released from my calling, I promised that I was still going to post cute Young Womens ideas as I find them?
Well I am DEFINITELY keeping up my end of the bargain with this post.
Our ward did the CUTEST New Beginnings last week and I am so excited to share these details with you. I asked our new Young Womens president to write up just a short summary about the evening and this is what she had to say:
Our theme for our New Beginnings this year
was “Coming to Christ is SWEET” to go along
with the yearly theme “Come Unto Christ”. We
decided on red, white and pink decor since it
was near Valentine’s Day and easy to find at
stores. We used a chalkboard look on our
invitations, handouts and even used the
chalkboard as our background (very cheap
indeed!) We used a projector to put the image
on the chalkboard and traced. The pennant
banners were out of scrapbook paper and ric
rac ribbon. Pink lights (can’t really see in
the the picture) were a nice touch. This
theme could easily be made more fancy or even
simpler. The program was short and “sweet”,
but really brought the spirit in. Then
afterwards we had a fun photo booth wtih lots
of props for the girls and their moms. The
evening turned out really great! The take
home gift was a notebook with the theme on it
and the gift for the new beehives was a
Gilbert temple handkerchief
(thanks for the idea Marci!) 🙂

For their ‘SWEET TREATS’ they served:
Cake pops, cream puffs, cinnamon candied popcorn
and cheesecake bars.
Photo Booth Props
{These are always SUCH A BIG HIT with the young women.}
 |
| Favors: ‘Come Unto Christ’ notebooks for the girls to take notes each week in. They used lots of different free printabls with the theme on these and used sticker paper. We put them in the bags with hugs and kisses (tag says XOXO).
My readers are SUPER lucky too, because Amy has offered to SHARE all of her FREE printables for your own use! ENJOY!!! |

| The font she used for the Date/Time was called Sandwich Paper Light (a good chalkboard font). |
And here is a blank copy of the invitation for you to edit with your own information….

Thanks so much!
Debbi
Love it! Thanks for sharing this 🙂
What?!?!?! you were released. oh no. I loved coming by to see what you were up to. I'm sure you'll be greatly missed in your ward. On to a new adventure, do you have a new calling yet? I'll still be coming by for great ideas so keep them coming. : ) Working on our New Beginnings now and came to be inspired.
Haha, yes it's true Tiffany. I am now the primary pianist which I LOVE! I of course, adored being in YW too,but playing the piano with not much responsibility is really quite nice 🙂 And yes – I'll still continue to post YW ideas as I see them. Can't wait to see what YOU come up with. Your stuff is always so darling.
Love it! Thanks so much for sharing your ideas!
Completely adorable!
