Fun Creative Wedding Favors


Wedding favors are a nice touch and show warm appreciation for your guests. Whatever the size of your guest list, these wedding favors will bring a smile without breaking the bank.

Edible wedding favors are a very popular option. For a sweet gift try individually wrapped cookies. Certain bakeries can provide custom cookies with your names and wedding date. At TotallyChocolate.com https://www.totallychocolate.com/WedProducts.aspx?detail=4000W, you can order individually boxed sugar cookies with milk or dark chocolate engraved with your custom artwork. For a less costly diy treat you could put together your own goodie bag and affix a custom sticker (beaucoup.com offers a set of 48 1” round labels for $9). http://www.beau-coup.com/wedding/personalized-round-wedding-labels.htm

For a fun refreshing summer gift, treat your guests to your favorite soda pop as they wait for the festivities to begin. At JonesSoda.com, you can design your own custom labels and receive a 12 pack for $29.99 http://www.jonessoda.com/code/standard.php?cook=t . For an intimate gathering, try a local candy shop like Rocket Fizz LINK, for sodas with novelty flavors and labels to delight your family and friends. Even a classic Coca Cola bottle with a bendy straw would be a nice touch, have fun with it!

Another product we really like is the custom tea and honey gift from the Republic of Tea http://www.republicoftea.com/tea-%26-honey-gift/p/98412/. It looks great in its packaged gift box and comes with a greeting card for only $2.95. For a similar gift, you could get crafty and print out your picture and affix it to a tin or tea bags and bundle it with a tea infuser or packs of honey. Guests could enjoy the warmth of a cup of tea while reminiscing on the lovely day they’ve shared with you.

Go green with eco friendly gifts like plants or seeds. Your presentation could be as impressive or simple as you like. For a pretty presentation try BeauCoup’s  http://www.beau-coup.com/bucket-of-love-plantable-seed-favors.htm large bucket of 100 printable seed favors $145. Classy and clean in their white bucket, these convenient gifts are pocket sized favors that can be used and enjoyed.  The Arbor Day Foundation http://www.arborday.org/shopping/gifttrees/weddings.cfm has come up with its own version of giving green with $3 tubed gift trees complete with custom label. Gift trees are a beautiful gesture that memorializes your special day for generations.

If you feel like getting crafty, we found this personal blog inspiring: TheHomeSpunHeart has several handmade gift ideas with pictures and descriptions of each step in the creative process. We especially like the chic mini chalk board gift diy project http://thehomespunheart.blogspot.com/2013/01/mini-chalkboard-gift.html . It would work wonderfully for place card settings and could be used in the home by guests as a message board or menu. 


For a special, personal gift try creating a custom calendar. You don’t have to use pictures of yourself, try recipes you like or include pictures of places that are important to you as a couple with a map or directions on how to get there. Be creative with products like a Jewel case customized calendar favor (100 at $5.08) http://www.vdpcalendars.com/vdpcalendars/products.html#regCDCal. The possibilities are endless!

How and When to Announce Your Engagement

Now that he’s planned all the romantic details of how to propose and has successfully swept you off your feet, your fiancé can breathe a sigh of relief. . . or can he???!? If your parents have never met your future spouse, this can be an extreme source of anxiety. As parents, siblings, and close family are usually the first to hear the news of your engagement, it would be helpful to introduce him into conversations, prompting questions and opportunities to share more about him before bringing him over for a visit. Once you are all familiar, then you can feel reassured of you happy news being received more warmly, instead of it being a complete shock.
