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 onlineicon.

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.
