I love working with the 12-18 year old girls in my ward (church). They are such amazing young women and my calling helps keep my focused on what is important. We had a Young Women In Excellence program last month that focused on the girls achieving their Personal Progress so they can marry in the temple. It was a spiritual night.
This was one of the leader's wedding gowns. All of the leaders displayed pictures of them at the temple. If you look behind the dress, the girls got to pick a picture of their favorite temple on a hanger to put in their closet as a reminder to dress modestly.

Each girl received a "Temple Can" containing quotes and other fun things that they are to look at to remind them of their goals.
The girls took turns talking about items they brought (such as temple pictures or Personal Progress projects). There were also some speakers who talked about the blessings that have come into their lives from attending the temple. I hope the girls enjoyed it and will avoid getting sucked into the pressures of the world and focus on what will bring lasting happiness.

You have some very lucky YW!
Great YW ideas...
Did you make the cans?? or did they come that way??
And I LOVE the hanging a temple in the closet idea!
I agree with Jamie that you have some lucky YW!
Do you have the label you printed for the can that you could share?
Where did you get the temple mints?
Karen, one of the leaders made them. I'm not sure where she bought the molds.
You can buy the plastic candy temple molds here :)http://www.kitchenkneads.com/LDS-Temple-Chocolate-Molds_p_222.html
Im interested to know what poem or words you put on the little paper that's on the white hanger with the temple pictures. Do you mind sharing? Or do you even remember ? :) It was 7 years ago!
