I am getting married in Plymouth MA, and we are going to make cranberry almond biscotti for our guests. We are going to package them in clear bags and tie them with ribbon used on our save the dates!

My daughter is giving handmade bird ornaments we found on Etsy. 100% of the cost goes to breast cancer research.

We made chocolate covered pretzels for all our guests. We hand dipped a ton of pretzels. Then we put them in little paper food bags with stickers on them that had our beach scene from our invitations printed on it and they said “Katie and Andy tie the knot”.

I am making four kinds of biscotti (two with nuts and two without) because we live in and are marrying in Seattle, which is famous for coffee. There should be enough for the adults to take two each. I was thinking of chocolate chip cookies for the kids, but maybe I’ll do muffins since I was thinking of the biscotti as something to have with morning coffee.

We are having a racing themed reception because my fiance is a drag racer, so we are putting a Hot Wheels muscle car into little boxes with candy for a little surprise and a treat!

My fiancee and I are folding 1000 paper cranes for our Christmas wedding next year. We are planning on decorating a crane for each guest with beads for eyes and a satin ribbon with a gift tag with our names and the date of our wedding hanging around the crane’s neck. We will then hang the cranes on a Christmas tree near the guest book.

honey from a local beekeeper (my wedding is in bavaria, germany) with DIY labels with our wedding logo. The escort cards will be honey dippers, so they will “lead” their recipients to their favor!

My wedding will be a cocktail party in Las Vegas. My partner and his friends are poker players so I’m pulling together some poker themed items for the gift bags: playing cards, chocolate poker chips, and matchboxes with bottled water and mints. I’ll use playing cards as the gift tags.

We are going with M&M’s in Delft Blue colors in little screw top old fashioned candy jars (the kind you can set up right or tilted on a side). The jars are a hint to my grandfather who used to have a candy store.

For our out-of-townies I’m packing totes with essentials: water bottles, snacks, bus tickets and self made maps of the city with places I like and know.
