Last month we showed you several variations for shower gifts and guest favors. This month we continue with even more great ideas. When you are deciding what to make for a favor to hand out at a wedding or shower there are so many things to consider: cost, whether to buy or make your own, finding something that represents the couple, finding something that will fit the theme of the wedding, and if it’s something you envision your guests being able to save and use at a later time.

“Meant to Bee” High Tea Bridal Invitation

Beginner Project

by Rebecca Oehlers

 



When I was thinking of an idea how to showcase a bridal shower invitation, I simply thought of something that I would love to see come to my doorstep. It would be so lovely to receive a box, and in that box would hold small hints of what it was going to be like at the party itself. A tin of tea, a honey server and an invitation all in one would put me in the perfect mood to attend a high tea shower with a “Meant to Bee” theme. A bunch of friends could have coffee and tea one morning and help each other put something like this together while thinking of the bride and how much she will enjoy this time with her friends and family, because we all know it is all about the details and thoughtfulness in the presentation.

A small tin of coffee makes an aromatic wedding favor, as well as a statement when you pair it with a “Perfect Blend” sentiment. It is simple to mass-produce and can easily be changed to reflect wedding colors and themes by changing the patterned paper.

These pretty favors would look lovely at each place setting at a rehearsal dinner, bridal shower, or even the wedding itself. You could incorporate many things with this type of favor other than an actual pear. Pear flavored jelly beans, pear shaped candles or even pear infused teas are all different options you could use!

Beautiful Bags for Brides

Intermediate Project

by Lynn Mercurio

 



When you are a bride-to-be or a Mother-of-the-bride, time is limited when it comes to wedding preparations. Sometimes, spending lots of money is best reserved for that awesome wedding dress, or the divine wedding cake that everyone will enjoy. When I began thinking about what favor I would create, I knew that I wanted to create a project that would be easy to mass produce yet elegant at the same time without the need for an extreme amount of cash. These glassine bags seemed to be just the thing. They are quick and easy to produce in only a few simple steps, yet elegant enough to please any guest.

Pretty Paper Flower Favor

Intermediate Project

by Lauren Meader

 



When love blooms, this table favor made from an exclusive Papertrey Ink heart tin, and all paper flowers is sure to be a hit. I thought doing an all paper flower favor arrangement would be not only fun, but very cost effective. They will certainly last longer than real flower's. I think people will be amazed that you can take paper crafting to that level. It is also a enjoyable activity for any bride and her bridal party to do together, as they sit and chat about the excitement of the big day!

This is a sweet Wedding favor from the happy couple, who want to spread their love to those who shared in their special day. This heart favor is a seed holder that can double as an ornament for future use. Just put your favorite flower seeds in this favor, and you are sure to spread cheer to every person who receives it. Print planting information on the tag, with a message of thanks, and you have an elegant favor that people are sure to love. Every time they see those flowers in bloom, your special day is sure to be remembered.
