DIY Coffee Wedding Favor

I had considered many different favors for our wedding, and of course most of my ideas came from Pinterest.  I thought about succulents or candy, but ultimately decided on coffee.  I thought coffee would be fun and useful for most everyone, besides those few people who don’t drink coffee (they’re lame anyway).

We purchased small apothecary jars from a site called Favor Online.  Since we were buying them in bulk, ordering online was a great option.  Here is one of the jars….

I, also, wanted to give all of the jars a tag, labeled with some kind of cheesy saying.  Some examples I had found online are: “Thanks a latte”or “Love is brewing”, but I decided to go with the least cheesy of them “The perfect blend”.  From there, I just made a quick tag using some of my favorite fonts(Villa Didot and Janda Elegant) and, of course, our chosen saying. wedding-coffee-favor-tagYou dig it?

As you can see, I hole punched the tags as well, so we were able to attach them to the jars.  I, then, used some yellow string to tie the tags in place.coffee wedding favors

Easy peasy!

As for displaying them, I thought an antique crate would be perfect. I picked this one up at the Avonlea Antique Mall in Jacksonville.

As an awesome surprise, my in-laws had these personalized koozies made for the wedding, as well.  They, also, sort of served as additional favors for our guests.

Hope all of our guests enjoyed their coffee and koozies.
