My sister Lisa a few years ago sent me something’s to look at via e-mail and asked if I had ever been to the site…I laugh now because I go there weekly! They have great artists and creative people that have so many different and unique things to offer. All the things you see today are from Etsy.

Going right back to all that is Vintage Inspired ….A cute but elegant birdcage veil accented with a peony, pearls, crystals and ostrich fringe. Got to have this one…then go see Batcakes Couture at Etsy.

    This one is a great idea just think of how many ways you could customize these to fit into your wedding! Give your wedding guests something to talk about and remember your wedding by with these awesome “Cootie Catcher” wedding favors! Personalized with questions about you and your fiancé, your guests will be delighted to get to know more about you two as a couple while they mingle with others. As an alternative you could have one for each guest-to use them as place cards or escort cards.

Love it? Me too.. Go to Kat’s Krafts at Etsy.

Let’s all be glad times have changed and people have become more creative and personal with the favors that they are giving out. Today there’s so many options from do it yourself favor kits, and for the very creative, you can design and hand craft them yourself. There’s some very unique ideas out there from scented candles, bottles of herbed vinegars and olive oils, potted plants and succulents, holiday themed ornaments, teabags, hand crafted personal paper fans and pop tarts. Yes, I said it…Pop tarts…One of my grooms favorite foods was Pop tarts so as a gift/joke we wrapped 250 Pop tarts with a custom tag and beautiful organza ribbons.

 potted plants  

 

How about potting up some cute little pots with a pansy for spring or wrapping a small terracotta pot in clear cellophane and attach a pack of seeds?

 

custom labels wine bottles

 

Here in Door County we have lots of wineries, you can buy cases and add pretty labels on them.

 

Jars of goodness

 

 Talk about perfect, it can be either sweet or savory.

 

Scented Candles

 

Candles are so universal and everyone loves them, scented to colored, soy to engraved.
