Bottle Up Your Wedding Favors
If you are looking for interesting and unusual ideas for packaging your wedding favors then why not consider using bottles and jars? Abandon the traditional card boxes and paper bags and instead add some interest and practicality by sourcing new and old bottles in interesting shapes and colors to add a decorative touch to your tables.
You can find bottles and jars in various sizes for sale through wholesalers and speclist manufacturers. This has the added benefit of giving you wholesale prices as you will be buying in bulk. If you want to add some vintage charm then you will need to spend time finding vintage bottles and jars from specialist stores and antique fairs. You can find them in various shapes and sizes, some with interesting color tones and some with writing along the sides.
So what could you put inside bottles and jars when it comes to wedding favors? Well lots of things actually. Candies of course look amazing when presented in clear glass jars and you could also add candy coated chocolates, sugared almonds or mints. For a retro inspired wedding give out jars of colourful jelly beans to remind your guests of their childhood years!
Smaller jars are great for candles which are relatively easy to make yourself at home or why not fill them with things like bath salts, pot pourri or lavender buds? Jars and bottles also make practical containers for flower seeds or bird food which are popular choices for wedding favors these days.
If you wanted to give something culinary then why not consider using jars for handmade pasta shapes, tea leaves or coffee beans? Have a favourite cookie or cake recipe? Then why not mix the dry ingredients together and give in a jar along with baking instructions and a cookie cutter?
Bottles of course lend themselves particularly well to liquid contents. Have a go at making your own wine or cider or how about mulled wine for a festive wedding. You can also use them for things like hot sauce, maple syrup or honey. Or liquid soaps, bath oils or bubble bath.
One of the best aspects about using bottles and jars for wedding favors is the ability to add personalized labels which you can design and print yourself from your PC. Or simply make them from card and attach with ribbon. If you need to be careful with your budget then consider giving one favor between two for your couples and one to each single guest and choose things like wine, cider, sauce, bird seed and flower seeds which will suit everyone.
