Bulk jars/containers

Hi! I posted this on the DIY board but I bet you ladies will have some answers too! I am giving honey for my wedding favor but am looking to buy very small canning jars in bulk. Any ideas? Any online sites which are reputable? Thanks in advance!

    Are 4 oz jars small enough?  My old roommate made hot cocoa favors in small jelly jars.  They got them on sale in bulk at Fleet Farm... but I believe they're also available at WalMart, Sams Club or Menards.  I think something like these (<<link) only a bit smaller and they got them for closer to $5 per 12pk.

    Update:
    Ok... just googled and found these little guys... 1.25oz ea.  Not sure how reputable the site is...

    We're giving honey too! I bought our 4 oz. jars from here (<<clicky). I got hexagon ones because I think they're pretty. But they have other shapes too. I have them now and I can't wait to fill them up.

    Out of curiosity, how are you packaging yours? I'm thinking a ribbon with a tag of some sort but I'm not sure how to do the tag or quite what to put on it...

    Haven't decided what to do yet. Thinking of printing off a simple tag with a corny phrase like "thanks for bee-ing here", "meant to bee", "love is sweet" (found those when googling). :) I want the style to be vintage/elegant. Tying the tag on with a simple ribbon. What are you thinking?
    Did you have any difficulty ordering these jars through that site? I'm nervous about online ordering such a big thing!

    I've seen tons of canning jars at garage sales this year.

    Nope, no trouble with the site and ordering at all. It was super easy. We ordered 80 jars and after s&h it came out to $0.79 per jar. I think they came fairly quickly in the mail and they were really well packaged. The big box they came in was a little dented and I was worried at first, but I opened it up and there were a whole bunch of packing peanuts and the jars were actually boxed up in smaller boxes with 8 jars apiece and those small boxes are really sturdy with cardboard dividers inside protecting the jars from each other.
