Floral and Plant Favors

Daffodil Favors
"A host, of golden daffodils/beside the lake, beneath the trees/fluttering and dancing in the breeze." We love daffodils
as much as William Wordsworth did -- they herald spring's arrival. Here, budding bulbs bought from a local nursery
are nestled into sake cups beneath beds of rocks. To turn them into take-home favors, use a rubber stamp to imprint
planting instructions onto wooden posts. If you prefer dormant bulbs, buy them online in the fall. Bulbs, John
Scheeper's. Large wooden sake cup (OMS -100),Buy4AsianLife.com. Wood-veneer paper, New York Central Art
Supply, 800-950-6111. Rubber stamp, Stampworx.

Good Things: Wedding Favors

Flowers To-Go Favor

Fresh and inexpensive, lush floral centerpiece blooms double as favors when you provide guests with waterproof
bags to take flowers home in. Have cellophane ones custom-printed with a message asking guests to pick a few
flowers (foryourparty.commade ours). Set them out with twist ties to cinch bags closed, and at party's end your
guests can carry on (and carry off) a bit of the celebration.
  

Takeaway Plant Centerpieces

For a takeaway centerpiece that's anything but garden variety, decorate reception tables with an array of plants that
guests can gaze at while they dine, then take home with them at evening's end. The vessels holding these miniature
orchids are wrapped in fabric for more exotic appeal. Mini phalaenopsis, McLellan Botanicals, orchidexperts.com.
Calligraphy, Primele.
Candy Wedding Favor Ideas
A Variety of Candies Wrapped in Boxes
A variety of colorful candy in clear rectangular boxes, wrapped with translucent paper, makes for stylish favors.

One Box 10 Ways: Paper Band

The box gets a new silhouette from a sheer paper band that's folded at the top and secured with a ribbon; the
couple's names and wedding date were rubber-stamped on the band before it was wrapped around the box.

Fold a 2-by-10-inch sheer paper strip every 2 inches; wrap around box. Fold ends; punch hole. Fold 8-by-1/4-inch
ribbon; slide loop from back to front; pull tails through.
