If you're looking for a reasonably priced favour for your wedding or shower, dried lavender is a beautifully fragrant way to add a scented accent to your celebrations!
Recently, I made these small sachets as giveaways at my wedding show booth and everyone loved them. The delicate scent of dried french lavender is very relaxing and has a variety of practical uses as well...
Popular toss at weddings ~ most ceremony venues don't allow confetti, bird seed or rice to be thrown but dried lavender is often permitted.
Freshens your linens and lingerie ~ a sachet of lavender between linens in your cupboard or in your lingerie drawer adds a natural fresh scent to your items.
Aids in relaxation ~ as a sachet in your bath or tucked into your pillow case, lavender gently helps you relax and enjoy a calmer night's sleep or relieve some of the stress after a busy day of wedding planning.
Materials:
3" x 4" organza bags (with drawstring)
2-3 heaping teaspoons of dried lavender per bag
business card template for tags
The quantity you'll need will be based on the number of guests or sachets you'll be making. The organza bags are available in a variety of colours at your local party or dollar store, for about $2.00/10 bags (or less). I ordered the lavender from a supplier I found on eBay and you can order the bags online as well. The business cards? Free! All I paid was $7.00 shipping through http://www.vistaprint.ca/ and received 250 cards for free. (You can also coordinate them with other items for your wedding from this site, such as banners and invitations.) In total, it cost approximately $150.00 for 500 sachets. Although it did take a fair amount of time putting everything together, the task will fly by with a few people doing it together and you'll have a beautifully fragrant favour to share with all of your guests.
