Eco Wedding Favors – Four Ideas
May 12, 2008 by Jennifer
Greener wedding favors should be made with eco sense (i.e. organic) or be something people will use and use; not just toss. Here are a few ideas…
Plantable Petal Cones Kit (for holding flower petals, lavender grains, rice, etc.) from Favor Creative
“The Perfect Pair” Cookie Cutters from the knot wedding shop
Organic Chocolate Bar Wedding Favors from Endangered Species Chocolate
Redwood, Pine, or Spruce trees from the Arbor Day Foundation – each plant ready tree comes in a recyclable container that converts into a bird feeder. You can also personalize your messages on the tree container.
These are all wonderful ideas! Sadly I already bought my dress the day before you came out with the eco friendly ideas for dresses, but this is something I will definitely be doing… Now if only I could just pick one! Love them all.
I forgot to mention how excited I was that these are all reasonably priced.
I like the pears – because they come in a wooden box (reusable) and most everyone likes to make cookies, so it’s an ongoing gift. Plus they’re so darn cute. I’ve got a few more favors coming up before the month is over. It’s hard to find real green favors; lots of the sites list stuff as “green” but really they’re not when you look into it.
Of course I’d choose the Endangered Species Chocolate!
Nice list.
I love this idea. I’ve been trying to figure out what to get my guests as favors! Thanks so much!
@Peggy of course! And your guests would thank you.
@Liz I hope one of these works out well
Or stay tuned, I’m trying to gather some more up before the month is out.
No wedding here but I did join the Arbor Day foundation!
@Wendy that rocks!
A great green party favor for birthday weddings etc is the TickleMe Plant. A plant that closes its leaves and lowers its branches when tickled.
No batteries necessary, growing kits can be reused over and over again… You can find information at http://www.ticklemeplant.com
