- Honey: You may have seen honey jars and servers in wedding favor stores but you could also take it a step further by adding some mini jars of honey to accompany them.
Or alternatively give your guests a mini selection box of honey with a wooden server.
The global price of honey is pretty high at the moment so consider purchasing larger jars and making up your own mini jars with personalized labels. - Hot Sauce: You might have seen these in the favor stores as they often come with personalized labels and as a set of two.
As an alternative make your own hot sauce, perhaps creating your own recipe and add your own personalized labels to the bottles. - Wine/Beer/Cider: This one isn't for the fainthearted as brewing your own drink which is drinkable can be difficult.
But if home brew is something you have done before then you could create your own wedding tipple to give as wedding favors. - Preserves: Similar really to giving honey and in many grocery stores you can find mini jars of preserves and jellies in both sweet and savoury varieties.
Marmalade or jellies could make a nice accompaniment to honey. - Herbs and Spices: Although perhaps more of a cooking ingredient, creating tins of spices or herbs is a great idea for your wedding favors.
Consider making favors with five different herbs and/or spices and presenting them all stacked up and tied with ribbon.
Just remember to add labels so your guests know what is in each one.
You could also combine spices for specific recipes such as jerk chicken or Indian curry spices. - Cultural Foods: Chinese fortune cookies are an obvious choice but how about Mexican cookies or something you have sampled on your travels.
As wedding favors go, this one is a good choice for something very personal to yourselves. - Mini Pies: New to the wedding favors market are adorable mini pies in a wide choice of savory and sweet fillings.
They look lovely presented in card boxes printed with your thank you message and personalized with your names and wedding date.
