"Peachy" Favors

One of the first decisions Brian and I made regarding the wedding was what we wanted our favors to be...kind of backward, right? What can I say? We know what we like!

Our guests will each be receiving a 7 oz. jar of Peach Preserves as a favor at our reception! Brian and I will be starting our new life together in Savannah, GA, so the favor is a little ode to the Peach State. We discussed making the preserves ourselves, but ended up finding a local farm that would do it for a reasonable price. So we went with it! Let's hear it for supporting local businesses! :)

The favor tags were designed by a fabulous woman I met on a wedding website. She does all sorts of custom graphic design work for a super reasonable price, and she was so patient while I tweaked the colors with these and our monograms until they were *just right.* Feel free to message me if you want her info! :)

I printed the tags on waterproof label sheets from www.labelsbythesheet.com and cut them out with a Fiskars rotary cutter. I am so happy with how they turned out!

The final finishing touch will hopefully be a blue or peach ribbon tied around the jar lids. We'll see if I feel like tackling the task of outfitting all 200 jars with bows! :)

*Wedding Week Edit*: I ended up hating the way ribbon looked around the lids of the jars, so they will be given to our guests as is. :)
