Spending some time doing your own favors can save you money.  Below is a popular monogram candy jar favor.  The cheapest I found was $1.25 each jar (contents not included) with purchase of at least 96.

If you do it yourself, you only spend about $0.83 each jar or maybe less, plus cost of candy.  In addition, you get full control over the design of the label.  You can customize it anyway you want.

Materials:
Jar $2.99/4
2″ round labels $0.46/20 + $5.10 shipping  (you can try your local office or paper store to save on shipping)
Label template – for 2″ round labels from www.labelsbythesheet.com

I loved doing the favor tags.  It was easy to do.  You can do at least 15 on one sheet.  These tags didn’t have the eyelet by the holes.  If you don’t have an easy-to-use eyelet setter, I don’t recommend doing them.  Besides, they’re still pretty, even without the eyelet.

Contact me if you want favor tags made.

I don’t know why I’m so enamored by edible favors… especially when they come in unique packaging.  Click on images for more details on the product.

Boudoir photo shoots are fast becoming a big trend with women.  Boudoir photos are usually given as a romantic gift to one’s partner.  These photos can range from romantic to more risque to nude.  The concept of using these photos as the bride’s gift to her groom on their wedding day has started becoming popular at theknot.com boards.  A knot specialty bio was even created for this purpose: BoudoirBio.

Day-after photo shoots has been popular for newlyweds, too.  These photo shoots taken the day after the wedding (technically) tend to be very passionate and sensual.  It adds a unique touch of intimacy to the wedding.

Unfortunately, I cannot post photos.  But to see samples, click on links at the bottom of this post.  Please note that the inclusion of vendors/photographers in this post does not necessarily constitute endorsement or recommendation.
