Unique Custom Wedding Favors on Etsy

Tomorrow marks my 8th anniversary as Modern Typography on Etsy! Never in a million years would I have imagined I'd leave my job to become a full time mom and entrepreneur. Nor did I anticipate the satisfaction I'd find in being a part of the handmade community. I am truly blessed.

I make all sorts of paper goods from retro inspired recipe cards to custom jewelry tags, but my best selling designs are custom wedding favor tags. It warms my heart when I think of how many special occasions I've had the honor of playing a part in.

I attribute my success to the creativity of my customers! As our CEO, Josh Silverman put it, "In a sea of sameness, Etsy stands for something special." For me, that something special is a customer's vision come to fruition in each custom design. 

The designs you see in my shop today are a melting pot of designs inspired by special request. If you are looking for gift ideas for an upcoming event, I hope you'll find inspiration here.


Hugs & Kisses from the New Mr. & Mrs.



I laugh a little each time I see the sample photo I created because I have the names backward (and they are from The Bachelor)! This is why I send digital proofs before printing every order. 

These are perfection for bags and boxes of candy to thank wedding guests.

Thank you for BEEING our guests



Whether you are planning a rustic, outdoor garden or barn wedding or a traditional, minimalist cake reception, honey jar favors are a sweet (and practical) gift.


Meant to bee, Love is Sweet and Made with Love also work well.

Make it your own with jam, jelly, sauce, seasoning or whatever homemade goodness you find too good to keep to yourself.

Brides are loving this honeycomb (hexagon) shape.


Love is the Key




Thank you for being a key part of our lives is such a lovely message. These are commonly tied to key shaped bottle openers but I love them on vintage keys.


Your Glass for the Night



Who doesn't love mason jars?! Spell it out for your guests with this popular design.

Eat, Drink & Be Married is another great choice, often tied to cutlery.



Mint to Be



These are perfect for adorning traditional wedding mints and other minty fresh favors. I picture it tied to a small mint plant, mint tea bags, or peppermint bark.

Now I'm hungry.

Coordinates



Planning a destination wedding? Coordinates are clever for save the dates, invitations and arrival bags. I also have a fancy pineapple design for tropical destinations. I love the idea of flip flops, sunglasses or blanket favors.

Love, Laughter and Happily Ever After



If you're planning your fairytale wedding, this one's for you. I love the variation Love, Laughter & a Snack for After. Edible gifts are my most favorite kind, but you can tie them to pretty much anything.

Clearly I have a thing for kraft brown cardstock, but I lately I'm loving how color pops on crisp white. 

His & Her Favorites


This is the biggest wedding favor trend of 2019 and I have to say I just love it! Treat your guests to his and her favorite candy, snack mix, coffee blend, loose leaf tea or soda. 





Choose Your Own Adventure


No, I didn't invent an adventure themed favor idea. But I'd love to!

It feels impossible to represent the endless possibilities here but just know, I've pulled together a lot of Pinterest wins and I'm up for a challenge.
