Cowboy Wedding Favor Ideas

Wedding Favors, Wedding Themes 1 Comment »

Cowboy Wedding Favor IdeasOne popular wedding theme couples use are a lot today is cowboy weddings. Not only popular here in Texas, cowboy weddings are springing up all over the country. Cowboy apparel, western decorations, cowboy wedding vows, cowboy western music, and cowboy wedding favors are all regularly seen with cowboy western wedding themes. Wedding favors are typically one of the more difficult decisions to make in any wedding, cowboy themed or not. If you are planning a cowboy wedding and need some ideas for cowboy wedding favors, then you’ve come the the right place, here are some great ideas you can use for your cowboy wedding.

Trail Mix Wedding Favor

Trail mix is something you can either buy in bulk and separate out into individual portions, or make yourself. You’ll have to price it out, and depending on how what kinds of nuts, berries and candies you want in your trail mix, making it yourself could be much cheaper. Bandannas make for excellent containers for your trail mix. Tie them off with twine and add a tag with Love’s Happy Trails or other cute verse, and you’ve got a great cowboy wedding favor.

Beef Jerky Wedding Favor

Beef jerky is another popular choice for a cowboy wedding favor. Buying these from a store or meat market could prove rather expensive, but you can make beef jerky yourself pretty easily at home. There are lots of recipes for it on the Internet, and try a few out until you get a favorite. You can either wrap these in bandannas as well, or use zip lock baggies and then wrap in the bandannas to help keep the jerky fresh.

Cowboy Hat Wedding Favors

Look for deals on buying bulk cowboy hats. They can be straw hats, or even cowboy hats in different colors. Place one at each place setting if you are having tables, and place a card in each hat inviting each guest to wear their new hat to help you celebrate your wedding. If you are not having a dinner, then place them on a central table so that every guest will see that they are meant to take a hat for their own. This makes for some cute pictures!

Cowboy wedding themes are fun for the guests and everyone involved. They’re different, unique and your guests will remember the event for years to come.

Make Your Own Spring Wedding Favors

Wedding Favors, Wedding Themes 1 Comment »

Spring Wedding FavorsFor most people, there is no time of the year like spring. The first bit of sunshine and flowers following a long hard and sometimes depressing winter has a way of putting everyone into a great mood. Not suprisingly, this makes spring one of the most popular times of the year for weddings. I’m not sure of the statistics on this one, but it seems as if every year there are many many weddings on each and every weekend from March to May. Many brides with spring weddings incorporate everything about spring into their weddings. From spring colors, flowers, outdoor ceremonies, and in many cases, spring wedding favors to help their guests celebrate spring as well. So, if you’re racking your brain for new and unique ideas for spring wedding favors, then you’ve come to the right place! Here are some great ideas for spring wedding favors.

1. Flower Seed Packets

This is starting to become more and more popular each year. You can either buy your favorite flower seeds or even fruit and vegetable seeds relatively cheaply from any nursery. Either buy the individual packs, or buy the seeds in bulk and make cute containers for them yourself, such as baby food jars or other homemade envelopes. If you are buying in bulk, be sure to include a tag on the wedding favor letting your guests know what their seeds are, and any caring instructions they need to know. One cute idea I’ve seen is to buy many different flower, fruit and even vegetable packs, and give each table a different type of seed. Then, for each table, name the table the name of the seed they will receive. It worked out really well.

2. Flower Bulbs

Another great idea, though perhaps could be a bit expensive for larger weddings, is to purchase flower or other plant bulbs, and wrap cellophane around the bottom of each bulb. Then, place a bulb at each table setting, or back table if you’re not having a dinner. Then, just like the wedding favor above, create a tag for each bulb with the name of the plant, care instructions, and even a cute saying such as, “Watching our love grow”, or “Our love is blooming”. Cute idea, and those of us without a green thumb have more of a chance of growing the flowers.

3. Spring/Summer Packs

Another great idea for creating spring wedding favors is to give each guest a small pack with everything they’ll need for the spring and summer season. If you are crafty you can make your own bags, or buy special gift bags off of the internet. Then, you can fill it up with anything that you like, such as pairs of flip flops, sunglasses, beach towels, sunscreen, any number of things. Use your imagination, and be sure to vary some of the bags from table to table.

Personally spring is my favorite time of year, my husband and I were even married in the spring. I love the spring and everything about it. If you need more ideas for spring wedding favors, keep checking back for more information. Or, if you have a favorite spring wedding favor you’d like to share, please comment and keep us all updated!

Gingerbread Men Wedding FavorsWhen I think of Christmas and the winter season, I’m remember when I was growing up, and every Christmas our family made loads of gingerbread men and women. We took them to parties, gave them out to classmates and friends, and took them with us to our grandmother’s house to celebrate the Christmas holidays. Gingerbread men are still a winter favorite, and it shouldn’t be any different when it comes to weddings. Gingerbread men can make great wedding favors if your wedding is in the winter season.
