My Wedding Favors

October 4, 2013 by Melissa

Hi everyone! Just checking in on this beautiful Fall Friday. 

First of all, Happy Birthday to my wonderful, caring, patient (with me), loving fiance. I am a lucky woman to have you and I love you more than anything. In just one week and one day, we’ll be married! Hooray!

Now, I wanted to show you all what will be occupying my time this weekend: my favors. As a baker, you know I had to make my favors!

I have a giant bag full of burlap bags that I hand-stamped with our monogram. I’m using my recipe for Cinnamon Spice Candied Nuts to make up enough nuts for all of my guests. The nuts, spiced with cinnamon, allspice, and brown sugar, will make a perfect Fall treat and will go perfectly in the burlap bags. 

IMG_0303 This is the same recipe I used for Christmas presents last year and everybody loved them (I even had a friend text me that he used the recipe to make his Christmas presents for his coworkers!). I can’t wait to share some homemade love with all of my guests to say thank you for coming and celebrating our day with us.

    Love the burlap! We are getting married next May & thinking of doing stamped burlap bags for the candy bar. Yours turned out just what I envisioned ours would look like 🙂

      Thank you! Congratulations to you! And I ordered the bags and custom stamp off etsy. It’s quite the project but homemade favors are totally worth it. It’s just such a special thing to share with your guests.
