wedding favors = check.

the favors

the wedding favors are the first thing i've decided on for sure (it's all in the details! :) )

we both share a love of food. he spent several months working in new orleans after hurricane katrina helping clean, restore, etc.

i've always known that a man's stomach is ultimately the way to his heart, especially with this guy! the sunday after our first "date", i made him my gumbo (which has gotten rave reviews from prior eaters!)

he said it was the closest thing he'd ever had to the "real stuff" in new orleans. it meant a lot to me that he loved it, and i know it meant a lot to him that i slaved over the stove for hours :) (nah, i enjoy cooking A LOT!)


anyway, our wedding favors will be tiny glass jars filled with my "secret" blend of spices along with my gumbo recipe attached to the jar (which i hate to give away to everyone, but what's the point of a good recipe unless you share?)

i found 1.5 ounce glass jars here for only 32¢ each!
we're aiming for about 200 guests, so that will only be $64 plus shipping.
the spices won't cost more than $10.

and, of course, they will be decorated oh-so-cute :)
