Honey Wedding Favor Ideas

Look for sealable jars at craft stores for the honey wedding favor.

Traditionally, a bride and groom offer a wedding favor to their guests for attending the ceremony and reception. Many brides and grooms look for small items that can be enjoyed by their guests. This makes the item easy to pack if it needs to be transported. If you are incorporating the idea of honey into your wedding, offering a honey-themed wedding favor will be appropriate.

Jar of Honey

Find a local bee keeper or bee farm that collects and sells honey near the site of the wedding. Explain to the business owner that you would like to use their product as a favor at your wedding. As wedding favors are generally small, providing a honey jar that holds 2 to 3 ounces will suffice. If the business owner prints his own labels, ask if you can create a special label for the wedding. Information can include the names of the bride and groom, date and location of the wedding.

Honey Sticks

Honey sticks, or honey straws, are plastic sticks filled with honey. One end of the stick can be bitten or snipped with scissors to access the honey. Guests can add the honey to hot tea, drizzle it over cheese or enjoy it alone. There are different flavors of honey sticks available, such as cinnamon, cherry, blueberry, strawberry and apple.

Honey Cookies

Locate a honey cookie recipe that you can mass-produce for the wedding. Alternatively, you can ask your caterer or wedding cake maker for quotes on the cost to produce honey cookies. When it comes to packaging, you can use a clear or colored cellophane and print a label that details the names of the bride and groom, as well as the location and date of the wedding. You can also add an image of the bride and groom to the label. Then, stack three to six cookies in each package and tie it off with a ribbon.

Honey Lotion and Soap

Create a small gift set with a lotion and soap that contain honey as one of the actual ingredients. The honey may merely serve as an aromatic component, or may actually be used in the lotion or soap. Purchase gift bottles and soap in the 2 to 3 ounce range. Wrap the gift set in a sheer cloth bag and tie it with a ribbon for presentation.
