How about sour cream containers stamped with hearts or flowers in your bridal colors? You could put mints, Jordan almonds, pkts of flower seeds, etc. inside.
I'm getting married in June-
for the favors I made cd's and stamped the label and case
for gifts for girls at Batch party I stamped votives and made a stamped 2468 box (a tiny bigger but same style) to put it in
for bridal party and parents- I made homemade cards to accompany their gift
I made all thank yous and invites for bridal shower
Note though I found it cheaper to buy wedding invitations then make them. That was just me though!! Congrads!
I made favors for my cousin last summer...seed packets in cellophane with a tag that read "A marriage grows when seeds of love are planted"...got the idea from a last year edition of Paper Crafts...they had daisy seeed packets with a saying like "he loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, so we tied the knot". I love the saying but did not have time to find multiple packs of daisy seeds. Found the seed packets at a dollar type store.
I was married last September and for the favors I made little photo albums. I bought the little albums and then glued a piece of cardstock over the front, punched corner pockets and them placed a stamped piece of cardstock on the front under the corner pockets. The cs was run through the computer and had our wedding info on it, and then i stamped the image i was using above it, cut it out and placed on top. It was a green or yellow album, green cs, then off white stamped with a pear and underneath it had "The perfect 'pair' our names and date.
I have had friends do th pop-up seed packets with asst seeds, and the same idea, but using individually wraped tea bags. They found cute little sayings about sowin seeds of love for the seed packs, and 'when you have this cup of tea, take a moment and think of me' then their names and date below. Was very cute.
I am making little wrap around wraps of sorts, and tying the top edges closed with ribbon. In side, I will have 2 of the Ghiradelli chocolate squares. Yum!
Have fun, and post a pic of what you decide to make!
I needed to find this website last year for my October wedding. I did stamp all my shower invites with matching thank you cards. I also did like many the tags for my favors (ordered the actual favors from an online store because it was much cheaper). I did stamp special cards to go with the bridemaids and parent gifts. I also found it much cheaper (and easier) to order the actual invites from a place online. I also made my annoucements for those not invited to the wedding.
Congrats and have fun. I found I just didn't have the time to make everything and sometimes my time was just worth more than the money I would save.
