AW: our favours

mamameech · January 2012

We are so very lucky to have relatives with a sugar bush! My FI's uncle (and his 6 kids) have a farm and a sugar bush; his granny, at 92 is still the one who puts the caps on the bottles of syrup. They are providing us with all the maple syrup for our favours, bottling the syrup for us, and they are getting us a wicked deal on the mini bottles through their supplier. I love that we will be giving something to guests that is personal and delicious (their syrup is to die for!!). And for an added touch, we are going to include a recipe for our favourite dessert on the little thank you note card attached to the bottle; it's a simple recipe that include the syrup

The bottles will look like this, with a white cap, a note card and sheer white/eggplant ribbon.

That is an awesome favor! I loooove real syrup (i.e. not Aunt Jemima, haha) so I would be thrilled to receive that!

This is so cute! I love the little bottle and that it's practical!! I don't like knick knacks, so I love that it's not something to just sit around and collect dust.

That is such an amazing favor!

lbarr088 · January 2012

Ooh! I really like that! I suppose I should get on the ball with our favors!

just an FYI - I'm not misspelling "favors"... I'm Canadian so I add a "u" lol

luvbug1022 · January 2012

Such a great favor!!! I love when favors have personal meaning to the couple. And who doesn't love maple syrup??

SCogs18 · January 2012

Those are so adroable! What great favors!

DirtyWater · January 2012

Very cute!

BMcLeodTeam · January 2012

I love it! I would totally want a favour like that when going to a wedding!

BTW I totally had no idea what you were talking about when you pointed the u out until I stopped and thought about it lol

adktd2boots · January 2012

I actually once read a HUGE thread about this on TK. People threw out terms like "ignorant" and "uneducated" etc. when people thought the spellings were wrong.

I understand Canadians spelling like that, because it's how they were taught and what they know. But when someone from Texas starts spelling that way, I can't help but feel like they are trying to be fancy and sound smart.

I've gotten used to the "backwards" spellings too. I'm only 60 miles from the Canadian border, and the nearest "city" to me is actually in Canada,not the states. "FibRe" "CentRe"

jessa1228 · January 2012

Those are really cute! I like that they have a personal touch to them too.

Laur110 · January 2012

Definitely a favor i would love to receive. You said it best, "personal & delicious"!

</div><div>The nearest city to the one I'm living around right now is actually in the US, not Canada hahaha so we measure in Farenheit instead of Celsius, Inches instead of Centimetres... you see the impact on the area that we're pretty much an extension of Detroit lol

Love your "favour" idea. Totally got your "spelling"... my Mum is British!

npott044 · January 2012

Totally in love with this. Maple syrup is such a tasty gift and so personal. The bottle is also very cute!

mamameech · January 2012

we actually sell the syrup for his uncle in the spring in the city and we can never have enough for everyone! we had orders since last fall for this year's batch! people litterally buy 10 bottles at a time - it's sooooo good!!

What's really fun is that my son has been able to go see the whole production and visit the farm in the spring - what kid doesn't love that?!?
