Send your wedding guests off with a sweet treat to thank them for their support by handing out small takeout containers of warm cookies paired with small glass bottles of organic vanilla, chocolate, or soy milk. You can use twine and small stamped or embossed name tags with the couple’s name and wedding date.

Look for antique lockets, silver platters, or distinctive candle holders. You can also ask for black-and-white photos of family in small decorative frames as a way to show appreciation for your family history.
