One of my favorite places to get ideas on wedding favors – and gifts in general – is Beau-coup (www.beau-coup.com). I’m a big fan of personalized gifts and think that favors should not only be pretty but functional. Give your guests things they can use, and personalize it so every time they use it they are reminded of your day.
Some of my favorite favors are the personalized tins and jars.
They are so easy to do and won’t break the bank. You don’t have to order it ready made. Choose your style of jar (or tin, or box) then design your label. You can then go to your local discount store and buy a few large bags of candy to fill the jars. Or, another great personalizing touch is to get personalized M&Ms from www.mymms.com.
I did this for mother’s day and everyone loved it. The M&Ms can jack your price up a bit so if its not in the budget just use good ole jelly beans, or whatever (non-melting) candy you love.
Best of all, when the candy is done, guest can choose to refill with their choice of candy or find another use for the jar/tin.
