You choose your colors and the text. You even choose the tea, and it’s enough to make one full pot. Plus, I love the tagline “love is brewing”. It’s sweet, but of course, you could choose your own. These favors are a delicious way to say thank you to all your wedding guests. Available for $2 unassembled or $3 assembled from Idea Chic.

Love is Brewing Tea Bag Wedding Favors

Lovely, right? And, I guess if you’re worried about using them to light cigarettes you could give them with a little candle. They come personalized with your name and the date of your wedding, and they’re sure to be a hit with any bride with a vintage sensibility. And hey, if you don’t care about being PC, you could give them with a cigar. Available for $1.75 each for orders under 50, $1.50 for orders over 50, from Firefly Notes.

Vintage Matchbox Favors by Firefly Notes

In these days of dwindling resources, it’s nice to see wedding favors that aren’t just throwaways. Of course, if you want to, you could just throw them out in the grass, and I’m sure you would make some little bird very happy. These favors are also aesthetically pleasing, small (brides, this is more important than you know in terms of travel and placement), and inexpensive. Plus, how sweet will it be to hear all the stories from your guests as new feathered friends visit their yards? Available $59.95 for 100 from Nature Favors.

Wild Bird Seed Heart Shaped Wedding Favors

Well, yes, okay, fine, but imagine creatively what you could use them for. I think they would be perfect on gift bags, which for my wedding were a time eater, because my mother-in-law hand painted every single bag, which was sweet, but this would have saved her a lot of time. Or, if you’d like to give something like a scented candle as a party favor, then this would be the perfect way to personalize it.

Knowing me, I would probably put them on all my wedding notebooks and whatnot, just to differentiate them from my non-wedding stuff, but that could just be me.

Available for $35 per 150 from Mau Promos.

Custom Wedding Stickers by Mau

So, I’m usually also not into wedding dress themed cards, invitations, or party favors. But I’m making an exception.

Aren’t these just the cutest cookies you ever did see? I mean, seriously. I love the idea of laying out trays of them for showers and whatnot. And while you’d think they were sugar cookies, they’re not. They’re butter cookies, which may not help you fit into the dress of your dreams, but at least you’ll have a good time eating it. Available for $54 per 24 from Maria Elena Events.

Wedding Dress Cookies by Maria Elena Events

It may not look like much on screen, but these parasols will surely save the day if it’s a hot one. I gave them as favors (alternated with fans), and they were so popular that not only did every single one disappear, but people on the streets of New Orleans actually tried to buy them from my guests. My ceremony was right smack at noon, so by the time I walked down the aisle, these were already full mast in the wedding courtyard, keeping the bright hot Louisiana sun off my fragile northern friends and relatives. 

My female bridesmaids and my groom’s groomswoman carried intricately painted versions, and they all looked lovely and elegant. Plus, I think they were slightly jauntier and more fun than the typical bridesmaid’s bouquet. Available in a variety of styles and prices from Luna Bazaar.

Doesn’t sound too hard right?

I loved these chocolate butterflies.

But they don’t ship to Canada.

I did some looking around and couldn’t find a Canadian source for them. Sigh…

We still wanted to go with something yummy, inexpensive and in our colours. I’ve made candy to give as gifts for years now and thought I was up to making our own favors. I spent some time browsing through my local craft store (they have a surprisingly good selection of candy making supplies!) and found some lovely heart-shaped molds for poured chocolates. No butterflies unfortunately…

I bought the molds & some milk chocolate and tested them out – they worked great!

I enlisted the help of my sister-in-law and we spent a couple of hours pouring chocolates (thank goodness for freezers!)

In the space of two hours we had over 100 chocolate hearts, ready to be bagged up

Here’s how I wrapped them:

They got slipped into cellophane bags (50 bags for $7 – not bad) and tied with an origami butterfly. The whole thing cost less than $100 and only took a few hours to do – and we got a ton of compliments on them too!

Of course, months afterwards – I found out about these little chocolate molds…

Make Your Own Chocolate Wedding Favors

Anyone getting married in the next couple of months? If you are, you are going to love these little favors. Just imagine how gorgeous they will look sitting next to everyone’s place setting. The clear cones are not included, but I’m sure that you could pick them up at a craft store. But even tying a white ribbon to each snowflake would look absolutely breathtaking at a winter wedding.
