Smile Ideas Needed for Wedding Favours

I just thought I would post this and see if any of you might h ave a VERY quick idea to do for a wedding favour... I will need about 100.
I was going to do a Candy Cane and attach a tag to it that said:
You helped to make our day complete -
Now please enjoy this little treat

Is there anything QUICK(VERY QUICK) I could do to present them a little better?
Just thought I would get a few ideas from you girls

Thanks
Amy

One thing that comes to mind is to put all the candycanes for a particular table into one of those mini Santa boots (which could then serve as a small centerpiece).

Or, get some small Christmas trees and decorate with the candy canes.

HTH and ...


Happy Crafting!

How about if you made a skinny pouch that the candy cane could fit into? Crimp the end, hang a tag with your adorable little saying. Viola!

How about tying a tag to the candy cane and print on it..."Amy and Him...truly 'mint' to be together"?

For my bestfriend's wedding shower I printed cookie recipes on a card and tied a heart shaped cookie cutter to it, with a tag that read "Charlie and Stefanie, truly cut out for eachother"

Hope that helps!

Display wise I would definitely diplay on a small tree and maybe put a few around the tree skirt in the shape of hearts ;) two candy canes facing one another makes lovely skinny hearts.

This is what I did for my daughter's wedding favors.
I made a cracker shape but used fabric and ribbon, you could use paper. We thought the fabric would tie much easier. Inside we put a couple yummy cinnamon candies that we all liked and a note saying:
Sugar and Spice, that is our wish for your life.
The little note inside gave the cracker some shape. We did not add the snap part, we couldn't find them and we made about 300 so that may have gotten spendy.
I think they turned out quite well.

Lovely idea - here is a site I book marked from someone else's post a while ago, in case someone likes this idea. http://www.oldenglishcrackers.com/in...=index&cPath=4

and they do "event" crackers. :mrgreen:

This won't work for candy canes, but here's a cute favor box I made that would hold the Gheradelli chocolates.

Default wedding favor

ok this was a long time ago but i made a plastic spoon with 2 hershey kisses in it, wrapped with toule and tied with ribbon....wrote "A spoonful of kisses from the new Mr & Mrs"
on the back, thank you for sharing in our special day, and my husband and I signed it to be a little more personal
you can match all the items to the wedding colors, and now they have sooo many different flavors of candies
