Favors in Jars

Simple, easy, and something that your guests will keep for long after your wedding is but a distant memory – a favor packaged in a beautiful jar! 

I love the first idea via the Knot – the mother of the groom packaged the dry ingredients of her favorite dessert in beautiful canisters and tied the recipe to the lid.  So personal and something your guests can use over and over again!

Some ideas from MS – honey, granola, and cookies:

These favors combine the best of both worlds – they are edible, which guests always love, but also provide a keepsake of your event.  And, they are simple and inexpensive to create on your own!

    I had never thought about granola before, and it’s something that I really like. My SO and I are really into eating healthy (him especially) so I like the idea of giving the guests something healthy instead of cookies or candy.

    I have to agree that favors in jars are definitely more affordable. I made my jar of treats for $1.00 each.

    Btw, thanks for thinking of me.

    Hi! Have been a big admirer of your blog for months now, but only came across this great post now. Love the heartwarming feel of wedding favors in jars (especially homemade), don’t you? Your readers may find this “spice bottles” idea interesting, too: http://www.bellenza.com/wedding-ideas/diy-projects/turn-aluminum-cans-into-a-unique-wedding-bouquet.html
