Awsome & Cheap Wedding Favors

Our wedding favors are only going to end up costing us $37 for 100 favors!

I'm bought small white paper bags that I will stamp with a cute wedding-ee stamp. Each bag will contain 2 chocolate chip cookies (the grooms fav desert). The bags will be folded over and and tied with lavender and purple ribbon. Our church is making the cookies for FREE (200 cookies). 

This was my inspiration:

I'm super happy with this project!

    my sister did something like this, except she printed an irish wedding poem (her husband is irish) on clear stickers and put those on the bags. putting on all those ribbons can be rough, just to warn you. but then again, she was doing that after having baked 700 cookies (she put 3 or 4 cookies per bag).

    Yes, the ribbon is NOT fun especially since I decided to have two colors of ribbon on each bag. It does help that we're having a fairly small wedding (100 guests). So far, I've been doing all the DIY projects by myself and it's been fine but I will recruit help for this one because I've made a couple of mock ups and your right, it's very time consuming.

    Yes, that's a cute idea and I recommended one of my brides to recruit her BMs to help her on this.  One workd of advice, though...PLEASE be sure to line the bag, because the fat from the cookies will seep through the bags!

    You can line the bags with some parchment paper or even wax paper.

    Your right, maybe I should wrap the cookies in wax paper? I will come up with something.
