Mini Watering Can Favors

Has anyone done these?  Were they liked by the guests?

Any suggestions on what to plant in them?

You can find them right now at Target in the Dollar Spot by one of the front entrances

If you local Target doesn't have enough they can look up what other stores have more and reserve them for you.  I used to work at Target.

As for planting, I would let the guests decide what to do with them, they might like them more as decor than planter. I'd put some wrapped candy in them, like Hershey kisses

What will they do with them afterwards?

As for "What will they do with them afterwards?"

Well it depends on the actual size.
 
I received one as a favor at someone elses wedding, and I added it to my herb garden collection. Different containers with different herbs. I love it, and so many other people did as well. 

Others that took them home use them as vases for smaller stemmed flowers.

A little creativity goes a long way....

Herbs is what I was thinking. Tyme, basil, rosemary... something like that.

I would put a ribbon in our colors around it with a sticker, that could be removed if people didn't want our names and date on the item. I know people always say personalized things are the first to go in the trash.

The other idea is just to use an orange fruit with a name on a piece of paper and held in place with a pin (like the ones you see on the knot with lemons and limes). We are putting sliced oranges in the vases on the centerpiece with white calla lilies. But I started to think  that would maybe be a little too much "orange" stuff.

Other options, orange flavored shortbread cookies....

What do you think?

Planting herbs inside would be cute.  You could even do a variety of different ones and your guests could choose from what suits them best. 

Maybe instead of a sticker, you can use a tag or something tied in to the ribbon.

I wouldn't use one, but that's just me.  To be honest, I don't think I've ever used a non-edible favor anyways.  It would be really cute if you had seeds to go along with it.
