Wedding Favours On A Budget

You'll be bored of me by next June because I'm going to need LOTS of inspiration............ I'm helping to organise the wedding of two good friends. Unfortunately, we now have significant budgetary restrictions. Having dealt with some of the bigger costs quite efficiently, we are now looking at some of the smaller areas.

Bride wants wedding favours that are a bit different. The couple are a country couple (they run a small farm) and are very eco friendly and enviromentally "conscious". Bride also wants these DIY (rather than bought in). So my task for you for today is to come up with some inexpensive wedding favours that will look pretty, wont cost the earth and are in keeping with the couple. If they could possibly not be too complicated, that would be a bonus since I imagine yours truly will have the task of making/assembling them.

Over to you and TIA.

Inspired by GBBO, how about little colourful macaroons tied up in a little mesh bag?

Aaarrrggghhhhhhhh Eve, you mentioned the "M" word. Last time I tried to make them I ended up with a multi coloured sloppy mess and nearly punched a hole in the oven!!!!!!

NEVER EVER MENTION MACA BLOODY ROONS!!

You can buy little mesh bags online and fill them with some dried lavender or rose petals, which you can also buy relatively cheaply online, then you could attach a wedding themed tag to each bag. A variation would be to put five sugared almonds inside the bags.

Ooops, sorry :) Scrap that idea then haha!

I think sugared almonds would look lovely (and they are lovely to eat).

5 sugared almonds tied up in cellophane or mesh. Five almonds are presented to represent wishes of happiness, health, wealth, children and longevity. The number five is indivisible. It's used to symbolize the strength of the new union and to show that the couple will share everything and not be divided.
