More for the Great Outdoors

I think the girl scout in me was the inspiration here, but how cute would it be to create S'mores gift packages either as a welcome gift and invite your guests to spend "S'more time with you" before the wedding or as a wedding favor as an after party gathering.  You could brown lunch bag it to keep it simple and casual or fancy it up as much as you want with personalized labels on your chocolate bars, ribbons to tie everything together.  Or if you really want to keep it simple you could create post card size invites or even simpler print fliers to invite your guests to spend "S'more time with you".

For the Great Outdoors

There are so many wonderful options for centerpieces, but here is one inspired by the nature lovers that love to go hiking.  Purchase glass conisters that have lids or you could even use small mason jars and stack them in a pyramid and they could double as the wedding favor.  Fill the glass container with your favorite trail mix or make your own.  If you want to add more color you can add ribbon to match the colors of your wedding.  Easy & simple.  And I'm huge fan of the fact that you're not just spending money on something that will wind up in the trash that night or the next day...at least your guests can enjoy your centerpiece as an after party snack or for energy the next day :)

Or if you have something already in mind for your centerpiece this would make an excellent wedding favor or welcome gift.....think brown paper lunch bags stamped for decoration filled with trail mix.  So cute!!!
