Personalized Mint Tins
Send your guests home feeling fresh with personalized mint tins. Once they eat up all the mints you’ve supplied them with, they can restock their tin and use it over and over. Beau-Coup.com has cute designs under $2.50 a piece. Another resource is FavorAffair.com.
Candy Table
Hit a local bulk candy shop and buy treats in your wedding colors. Fill glass jars and containers with the treats and let guests make their own treat bags to take home. Make sure to stock the table with candy scoops and bags with twisty ties so they can transport their tasty gift easily. If you prefer to buy the candy online, try JellyBelly.com.
Personalized Sunscreen
It’s the perfect favor for a summer wedding– especially one on the beach. Send your guests home with a personalized bottle of sunscreen. It’s truly a gift they can use and appreciate. Select from several colorful designs at FavorIdeas.com.
Small Plants
For a garden or outdoor wedding give guests a small pot like these with some flower seeds or herbs growing inside. Include a personalized label or flag with a clever message like, “Hope you had a great thyme.” You can pick the pots up for around $.50 each and the seeds are available at local garden stores or online.
Donation
Rather than give guests traditional gifts, why not make a donation in their honor. Choose one of your favorite charities and send guests home feeling good about helping out a worthy cause.
Candles
Give your guests some mood lighting. Send them off with a simple candle wrapped in corrugated paper and tied up with a twine bow. It’s a low cost and simple gift that fits a variety of wedding styles.
