This post will start off a new blog segment where we go over party favors. I'll feature ones we've created in relation to the post. For those who don't know the purpose of a favor (or giveaway) here's the wiki of it: Party Favors.
Today is one I've created for my friend Angela's wedding shower. The shower theme is "Kitchen". I went through various ideas of what to give to their guests. There are plenty of already made favors out there. I could have gotten a small whisk, salt and pepper shakers, or a cookie cutter. All great ideas but how does it relate to the couple? I dugged deeper and started looking around.
The Inspiration: I stumbled upon my inspiration in Style Me Pretty's post: DIY Project: Tea Tins. It was perfect. The colors are part of the wedding theme and the groom is from England. I notice in their household that they started this daily ritual of having tea after their meals. Nothing else could be so perfect. To put my spin on it we used loose tea and added a tea ball strainer. Then we packaged them in a box with a long folded card (inspired by Anthropologie’s) with a little blurb of our thank yous and description of the favor.

The Results:
So don't forget to make the party favors personal to the taste of the couple, kid, and theme. Good luck!
