Favor, Favor, What's Your Eco-chic edible Favor?

Today we’re discussing eco-friendly edible favors you can give your party guests as parting gifts. Your party favors are another layer in the theme of your event. Make your edible favors eco-chic by choosing fair trade, locally grown, or handmade goodies. Lucky for you, ecopartytime.com has amazing options for edible favors and packages to showcase them in including these amazing cotton muslin favor bags.

These bags are remarkably versatile and work for all the most popular party themes. (Melissa’s hint - Remember if your edible can dry out or has small bits, use our biodegradable cello bags inside your favor bags.)

How might you use these favor bags to enhance your theme? I’m glad you asked! Here is just a small sampling of eco-chic edible themed favor ideas.

Carnival or circus theme – Seriously, who doesn’t love a circus?? Personalize your muslin bags with a lion, monkey, or elephant theme. Fill them with salted peanuts, animal crackers, or the dry ingredients for funnel cake to let your guests bring home a bit of the fun!

Beach or ocean theme–Sweet summer! I can smell coconut lotion & hear reggae as I write this! For your beachy party or wedding, Ecopartytime.com offers muslin bags with palm tree, sea horse, and starfish designs. Fair trade seashell chocolates, mini key lime pies or handmade coconut patties would make a truly tropical edible favor.

Vineyard theme –Cheers . . .Slainte. . .Prost! However you say it, a winery wedding or event is always a great time! For your vineyard or winery themed events, personalize your muslin favor bags with a grapevine or a wine glass/bottle design. Throw in a miniature bottle of local wine or port and your guests will remember you for years to come.

Winter theme - Aaah winter parties! As a Colorado girl, I love the snow. Make your winter party memorable by adorning your muslin bags with reindeer, snowflakes, trees, or ornaments. Insert DIY s’mores kits, locally roasted coffee beans or organic reindeer cookies for a sparkling sendoff!

Baby showers - I am just in love with the baby clothesline design but there are several others which would work great! Fill up your baby shower muslin bags with organic baby cookies for the cutest baby shower favor ever!

Downton Abbey, Chandelier, or French theme – For those of you wanting the latest in eco-chic swankiness, choose a chandelier, Eiffel tower, or monogram design on your muslin favor bag. Fill with organic chocolate truffles, homemade Champagne jelly, or something else equally decadent! So that’s my short list of themed edible party favors which can go into all of our muslin bags. Let me know if what you put into your muslins bags. Ciao!
