Fabulous Favors

Favors have evolved from heart shaped cookies and tacky trinkets that most guests will never use. Here are some of my favorite favors that are creative, useful, and just plain fabulous!

1) Share a recipe with your guests! This couple from the south used their favorite shrimp and grits recipe and filled bags with their favorite brand of grits. When your guests make your recipe at home, it'll be delicious reminder of your special day!

2) Flowers in a can! Pop it open like a soda, add some water and sunshine, and you're guests will have beautiful blooms! They come in dahlia, germanium, impatiens, and pansy! Order them from fredflare.com

3) Mints and chocolate are classic favors. Why not spice them up with your own design? I love the ones at www.beau-coup.com

4) Reusable shopping bags are an eco-friendly favor that your guests can use for years! B. Happybags has a collection of stylish totes, but custom designs are also available:)

5) These silver luggage tags could double for place card holders as well! Classy, stylish and very useful, your jet setting guests will be delighted!
