Hi, there. What about art-noveau inspired little boxes? Something like charming cigarette boxes, maybe?

The theme is 1912-1930s.

I saw something today that would make an excellent wedding favor, a little book of photos of the couple. You could do some pre-wedding photos with your fiance in clothes/scenes of the period and give them out, maybe. I see lulu is doing mini-books now: http://www.lulu.com/publish/mini_photo_books/?cid=publish_portal

I think the posts of honey are a charming idea.

The coolest wedding favor I've heard of lately was everyone in the wedding party getting to order their own custom colored Converse and the option of wearing them in the procession, but perhaps that's more appropriate for a punk rock wedding.
Antique perfume bottles turned into protective amulets for the house?
Gift certificate for an artist who does old-fashioned silhouettes from photographs enclosed in a card with your own silhouettes on it?
I agree that the honey idea is charming, and it has a very personal touch!

We had matchboxes made and customized. They were a nice thing people could pop into their pockets and because they had like 60 matches in them, they lasted for a while.

I like the honey pot idea too.
