Wedding Favours On A Budget
47 Answers
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.

Some good ideas here. Rowan - I thought the seeds might be a good idea - the bridegroom has just set a wild flower meadow in honour of the big day and I thought some of those seeds might be nice.
Really liking the jam idea and the bookmarks idea. I'm probably not creative enough to make the bookmarks though. It would look like something a primary school child had done. We could probably make jam from some of their home produce. I'm doing a recce next month so I'm sure once I've raided the orchard I could come up with something.
I don't think they would go with donations to an animal sanctuary - probably because they've already rescued several chickens, a couple of sheep and a few ducks this year.

What about tiny tree saplings wrapped in hessian tied with a ribbon and label. http:// www.nur serymen .com/tr ees/wed dings/k ellie-0 2.jpg
So in a nutshell you want something ...
A bit different
Eco-friendly
DIY
Inexpensive
Looks pretty
Quick and easy to "make"
Quite a challenge!
Seeds would be good but I don't think you will have a chance to collect enough of them DIY given your time constraints now - a year ago, you could have planned properly.
The Californian poppy is a really good plant to share among friends. See this article, for example:

You could buy a load of seeds quite cheaply, then put them in your own envelopes with some very simple printed instructions and a message of thanks.
