Today we're dishing on favors. Oh, wedding favors! Something that is not totally necessary for your wedding, but a sweet detail if you can make it happen. To be honest, we were going around and around about whether or not to have a favor. I decided that if I could keep the cost to under $2 per person, we would do it. And guess what?! We found something! I think the key to favors is something simple, sentimental or something has meaning to the two of you.
First I'll show you all of the fun ideas I LOVED while thinking of ideas. I'll tell you our favor at the end of the post! (If you're attending our wedding and want to be surprised, stop reading!!! ;))
So what did WE end up choosing? Since we met at an apple orchard and our wedding is in the fall, we decided on a jar of jam-- apple raspberry jam, to be exact! My mom found the greatest place online called Kitchen Kettle, who makes mini jars of jam specifically for wedding and event favors. I will be making our own label and tying the jar with a silk ribbon. I think it will be beautiful and something the guests will actually use. Hopefully :)
What did you give out as your wedding favors?!
Happy Thursday!

So sweet, Michaela! My sister-in-law had jam as a favor at her wedding, and she wrote a chalkboard sign that said "Spread the Love". So cute!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea! I love how the jam ties in with your story. I just went to a wedding that gave small vanilla candles in a jar with a custom label along with matchbooks, which I really liked. At my wedding, the favors doubled as escort cards. We both love coffee, so we created a custom blend at a local coffee shop and had them put the coffee in small individual bags. I put those bags in small linen drawstring bags and tied on the escort cards. I wanted escort cards with a bit of weight to them since my reception was outdoors, so this worked out great.
