Create your own wedding favours!

Whether you're creating your own wedding favour jars or decorating your home with pretty glass posy jars, Wares is your first choice for the glassware - and also for the accessories! In today's post, we'll have a look at some of the ways you can use our one-stop-shop to create your own beautifully decorated glass jars and bottles with our fantastic range of accessory tags, labels and decorative packaging.

Glass Jars for Wedding Favours and Gifts

This time of year is all about wedding favours, and we stock up on our mini glass jars and bottles in anticipation. You'll find a really fantastic range of glassware to use for creative gifting and favours this year, whether you're making your own soy wax candles, chutneys, bath salts or flavoured cooking oils. We know that some of our couples have also been buying glass jars to store and gift homemade BBQ rub spice mixes and fancy salts - Himalayan salt is still very much on trend.

For alcoholic drinks, homemade cordials, flavoured oils and other liquids, you'll find a variety of sizes, shapes and lid styles on offer, from crown-capped miniature milk bottles to shaped 40ml Mini Heart Swing Stopper Glass Bottles, ideal for weddings. Even better, some of our bulk buy products, including our 70 X 50ml miniature square glass bottle Retail Packs and 200 X 41ml (1.5oz) Mini Glass Jam Jars, come with free shipping, so you can really keep a handle on your budget.

Bags and Boxes

If you're making wedding favours, we have a lovely selection of decorative bags and boxes to suit all colour schemes and wedding themes. These include small cardboard boxes in a variety of sizes and colours, including pink, silver and rustic natural, together with mini fabric bags with a drawstring. You'll also find small clear bottle boxes, which are ideal if you're gifting miniature glass bottles, perhaps filled with homemade raspberry gin or a shot of coffee liqueur. Our decorative boxes are sold in packs of ten to save you money on the unit cost, and they are perfectly sized for 50ml Gladstone glass bottles, 50ml whisky bottles and 41ml mini jam jars. Plenty of scope for inspiration if you're gifting drinks or homemade jams.

For wedding favour accessories, check out our pretty range of miniature craft roses, mini chalkboard hearts with chalk and stemmed glitter hearts, amongst others. These will really finish off a thoughtful wedding favour gift, especially if you then personalise the results with one of our die-cut labels and beautiful ribbons, available in pastels, metallics, country-themed vintage florals and plenty more. Don't forget our tags for wedding favours, which look wonderful with calligraphy and a thoughtful message.

Creating the Perfect Wedding Favours

Wedding favours should be fun and thoughtful, but certainly not a source of stress! Think about your guests and yourselves as a couple, and ask what will match your wedding. Even simple glass jars filled with colourful sweets and a ribbon look beautiful. A small glass jar with some freshly ground coffee is a thoughtful gift for the morning after, and a glass bottle filled with a creamy cocktail is a fun addition to the post-wedding party.

A DIY Essential Oil Foot Soak Recipe

You could also have fun making your own essential oil-blended massage oil or foot soak for those tired feet after a night of dancing. This easy blend combines Epsom salts, reviving essential oils and fractionated coconut oil for a foot soak that is soothing, reviving and perfect for natural health. You can adjust the essential oils too - lavender is a great choice as it's generally tolerated well by all skin types.

Tying the Perfect Bow

Of course, the art of presenting a Pinterest-worthy wedding favour is to get the presentation completely right. Why not stock up on some of our ribbons and learn how to tie a showstopping fancy bow? The secret to success is all in the technique, and you'll find a handy guide here: https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/tie-a-perfect-bow-2977537. Remember that practice makes perfect, and if you find it too hard, you can cheat with ready-tied ribbon rosettes!
