The future hubs and I both love honey, especially tasting really crazy types like white Hawaiian, Spanish heather, etc... So when I told him about this sweet idea I found on Weddingbee he was totally down. I set the favor budget at $50, so the more we spend on containers the less we can spend on the actual honey. I spent hours scouring the internet for affordable glass containers. The test tube idea is great, but I wasn't having any luck finding a local source, and shipping for buying them online was outrageous.
Ebay had the best prices, but it was still going to be $30-$40 for 50 tubes, wack! So I just started searching for 'glass jars' and 'glass vials' and finally found my awesome containers.
I picked them up from guy who used them for dioinized water in a lab, so they will be thoroughly sanitized before we use them. $13.50 including shipping, and they have SCREW LIDS!!! Don't get me wrong the wax over the cork thing is an incredibly cute idea, but when I saw these screw-on lids I realized how much easier it would be for people to re-cap them between usages. Each bottle holds 1 oz. I'm going to cut little squares of cool vintage scarves to cover the lids, tie off with ribbon and a tag and there you go-instant awesome.
We got these for such a good price that we are either going to go nuts and order super expensive, exotic honey (his choice), or stick with a well priced local honey (my choice) and offer a second favor, like a candy bar set-up with bags people can fill and take home. What's a good candy to do this with? We were thinking almond Hershey's kisses (we are less than an hour from Hershey) or those customized M&M's with our initials or something. Any ideas??
