Hi Ladies,
I wanted to get your take on some ideas I was throwing around in my head about potential wedding favors. I've seen so many edible favors that I want to stay away from that and was thinking about some of the below ideas.
Local Idea - We're getting married in Santa Barbara Wine Country and the area has a number of lavender farms where they process lavender into essential oils, lotions, etc. I was thinking of using an essential oil from one of the farms to make homemade (by me) lavender exfoliating soaps. I've made homemade soaps before and its not difficult. Plus the cost of making it at home far exceeds buying it in larger quantities. And I love crafting.
Us Idea - I saw this idea from a wedding blog. The couple gave a mini pack of blank cards/postcards to their guests. I was thinking we could make the designs on the cards all the same or maybe print pictures of places that are important to us ... maybe something from the cities we're from, Chicago & Austin, and now we live in LA. Maybe a picture of where we first met. A graphic zoom-in of the dress I wore on our first date. Or maybe something Santa Barbara related or just a nice graphic of some sort. Finished off by tying them together with some twine or something rustic like (we're having a winery wedding).
Humorous Idea - I was thinking we could design a fake Rx pad and write a note on it from the "Dr." saying "Doctors orders: Have fun tonight" or something like that and inside the package would be a 2 pack Advil, Alka-Seltzer, and a Starbucks Via. The ultimate morning after remedy.
Other thoughts..... Nice tea?!?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks ladies!
