Practical Wedding Favors that are cooking and kitchen-friendly

sponsored post

Favor Days carries a fun selection of practical wedding favors that are perfect for kitchen themed bridal showers or even as favors for weddings where the bride and groom love to cook. Some of the kitchen-friendly favors include salt and pepper shakers, cake servers, cookie cutters, tea infusers, measuring spoons, and so many other choices.

If you're planning a kitchen themed bridal shower, you might consider asking your guests to bring along their favorite recipe for the bride to start her recipe box collection. Or, if the shower is theme based, you can ask for recipes based on that particular theme. For example, if you are planning a bridal shower tea with desserts, you might ask for your favorite dessert recipes for the bride.

To see all of the practical favors from Favor Days, including kitchen and cooking favors, cookie cutter favors, cake server favors, and salt & pepper shaker favors, please click here. What is your favorite kitchen themed wedding favor?

Eye Candy Friday : v78 {bridal portraits - a bride and her horse}

I LOVE these photos from Lauren's bridal session with Rae Leytham Photography. The photographs of Lauren in the open field on her parents farm with her horse, Warrior, are spectacular. The photos are so tranquil and beautifully captured. And, don't you love the brides wedding dress from Bridal Loft Pensacola?

Etsy Love : Thank You Signs and Banners

What better way to say Thank You to your guests than with a "Thank You" sign or banner? When I married almost 8 years ago, I created hand-painted thank you signs that myself and hubby held. Our photographer took a photo and we used that image with our thank you notes we sent to all our guests. I attached it to the card with photo corners so the photo could be removed by the guest. They were a huge hit. Below is just some of the many "Thank You" signs available on etsy.

Along with the many "Thank You" signs available on etsy.com, there's also "Just Married" and "Mr"/"Mrs" signs too which make for some really cute photo props.
