These cookbooks are a great idea for wedding gifts. They are perfect for the new bride and groom or for an extra special gift to the wedding party or the mothers of the bride and groom. Secret Ingredients allows you to choose from two styles of cookbooks the heirloom and the keepsake. The heirloom contains 250 of your family recipes and can be adorned with up to 15 photographs. The keepsake is a bit smaller and can hold 50 or more recipes. Both cookbooks would be a great gift but I think it would be a very unique and thoughtful present to the bride and groom. This would give the bride and groom a starting point on all the family meals they loved as kids and never knew how to make. This is a great present and I love this idea! I can not tell you how many times I have called my mom asking her for her recipes!Check them out!
Who could have thought that yarn on a box could make such a pretty favor? Martha Stewart that’s who! Leave it to Martha to come up with a cute inexpensive and easy favor idea. Favor boxes can look playful or sophisticated with yarn. Many of these ideas use the same technique: Attach end of yarn to bottom of box with a clear round mailing seal; wind yarn around box several times, cut off, and affix other end to bottom with a second seal. Precut all of your yarn before wrapping. From top left: A pink box is wrapped with a band cut from mesh paper; wind yarn in one direction, then the other, weaving it through. A paper band covers a pink box; it’s tied with a fuzzy orange mohair bow. Wavy white yarn binds a green-lidded box; slip extra yarn behind strands at each side, and tie in a bow. From center left: For the double bow on this box, tie a regular bow, making loops twice your desired length; next make a bow with the right loop (pull loop open, flatten it, cross one end over the other and pull through); repeat with left loop. Tape scalloped card to box, wind yarn between scallops, knot at middle with a short piece, print names on sticker paper, and cut out with craft punch. This long box is covered in tweed-print paper and nubby yarn.
From bottom left: Wind variegated yarn around a box in an asymmetrical design; slip tag under strands. Knot yarns around a matchbox- style box; splay ends for fringe. A band of houndstooth card stock and an off-center bow wrap a box. Source
Edible favors are always a hit. They can also be very personal and beautiful. One idea for an edible favor is this heart shaped cookie. Iced with the bride’s and groom’s initials, these colorful confections appeal to the eye, appetite, and spirit. Based on the concept of friendship necklaces, two heart halves are cut from one cookie cutter. To master the piped-on initials, first trace computer fonts on printed paper and practice before lettering the cookies. Source

I remember making cookies with my grandmother and her allowing me to sneak them out of the jar before dinner. I can still picture that cookie jar! Well, this little favor is a great way of stirring up found memories for you guests as well by giving them their own mini cookie jar. These favors are super cute and in expensive to make. You can buy store bought cookies or make your own.
