One of the reasons I haven’t posted in ages is because recently I got married. w00t! When my fiance and I were thinking about what to give out as favors, we naturally settled on each of our favorite things: tea and chocolate! We wanted a favor that:

• Most people would like at least part of
• People could enjoy during the event or shortly after
• They wouldn’t need to take home and give to GoodWill
• Was easy to assemble and acquire

We bought about a gazillion Ferrero Roches at Sam’s Club (gold was one of our colors – yeah!) and also tons of Andes candies at Wal-Mart. (We’re still eating them.) But how to pick just one tea? And what kind? Black, green, white, oolong? Loose or bagged? I toyed with the idea of getting a custom blend and putting it in little custom tea tins – but really that was way too much work!

To meet our requirements of things that most people would like and were easy to acquire we decided on a mix of:

• Twinings Earl Grey
• Stash Chai
• Stash Pomegranate Green

All lovely teas. A little variety so folks could trade if they wanted. Easy to acquire at our local Giant Eagle Market District. AND best of all — in our colors of gold and wine! ;-] Add a cute tag, some ribbon, and simple favor bags from Joann’s and viola! I loved them.
