An outdoor wedding is a perfect excuse for a garden party theme & accordingly, requires some garden party style wedding favors to accompany it! Garden party weddings open a whole world of possibilities for wedding favors, from cakes & tea, to flowers & preserves. Here are just a few ideas to whet your creative appetites!
Tea anyone?
Sachets of specialty tea such as Earl Grey make a nice favor idea; team it with a nice silver infuser.
Pretty cups & saucers make nice gift ideas. Raid the charity stores, flea markets, EBay for nice vintage cup & saucer sets. You can fill them with confectionary, cup cakes or the tea sachets as above.
Look for tea-for-one sets comprising a teapot & cup which fit together in one neat package. You can team it with a sachet of specialty tea too.
Let them eat cake!
Why not make a selection of cookies, shortbreads, brownies & mini cakes. You can present them in large confectionary favor boxes.
How about a set of cake servers? There are lots of designs to choose from & they make a stylish & practical wedding favor.
Let them make their own!
Put together a mini recipe book of favorite baking recipes such as bread, scones, cakes & cookies. Alternatively, if you have a family favorite print that out on nice quality paper & team it with a wooden spoon or a set of measuring spoons.
Scones & jam on the lawn!
Give out miniature jars of preserves such as jam & marmalade. If you don't want to make your own buy large good quality preserves from the supermarket & decant into miniature jars, which you can buy wholesale online. Add some personalized labels & present them side by side in a nice box.
An alternative to preserves is honey. Present as above but include one set honey & one runny honey.
Staying with honey, how about a pretty ceramic honey pot & server set? These are widely available from wedding favor stores.
Why not package up sachets of scone mix & mini pots of preserve so your guests can bake their own & have afternoon tea on the lawn at home!
Floral Fantasia
Packets of seeds are a popular choice for wedding favors. Look for seasonal flowers or even herbs & vegetables.
Plant-able seed cards are available in a range of styles & designs. Your guests just need to plant them when they get home.
Miniature potted plants are another popular choice for outdoor garden weddings. Miniature roses, violets & geraniums are all lovely choices. Or why not give potted herbs? Choose fragrant varieties such as mint, rosemary & thyme.
There are many choices available for wedding favors for an outdoor garden party wedding. With a little creativity you can create wonderfully decadent favors which are unique & thoughtful.
