Rosemary Salt Favors
June 30th, 2007 @ 1:33 pm by Mrs. Tomato
Finally! Two days before the wedding, and I just finished my rosemary salt favors. 
I originally wasn’t going to do favors. They can be a waste of money and an extra stress-inducer I didn’t want. But then Miss Corn posted about her great favors using Martha Stewart’s Rosemary Salt recipe and of course, my mind turned a switch and I just HAD to do them. The idea was perfect for Mr.Tomato and me since we’re both foodies and rosemary is one of his favorite herbs. Plus the recipe seemed easy (and cheap) enough.
After much perusal, I purchased little 1 oz jars with cork tops from Save On Crafts. I figured people don’t need THAT much rosemary salt, and they were cute, too! They were $18.96 for 24 bottles; not bad at all.
Figuring out how to do labels took a bit of thinking. I perused myweddinglabels.com but the labels were pricey if you factor in shipping costs…and even the smallest ones were too big for my 1.5 inch jars. What to do?
Aha! Address labels of course! And I could have it cover two sides of the bottle instead of one. Five minutes later, I designed a simple label and printed out two sheets worth of Avery labels. Here is the final product:
Hope my guests like them!

What a fabulous idea!
Very pretty! What font did you use for the ‘Rosemary Salt’ bit?
Adorable! And I love rosemary too. We didn’t do favors–but I might have been tempted if I had seen this post before the wedding.
so cute! they look great. really like the “…extra deliciousness” bit too! 
How wonderful! And I think I can answer cc’s question - I love fonts, and I think the “Rosemary Salt” font is Zapfino. One of my favorites!! Great job, I bet they smell gourmet!
Very classy looking.
Too cute! I was going to make these, but I ended up cutting it from the budget. Yours turned out great!
Very unique, useful, and well-presented favors IMO.

They look sooo adorable! Great job Miss Tomato…
They are beautiful!! Wonderful job And how great for your guests to go to a wedding and see that there is such a thing as a useful favor that won’t break the bank!
your labels are beautiful!
Wow - those look great! Wish I had seen that idea earlier!
Adorable - I am wondering did you use cream colored labels? Where did you find those, I have only seen white avery labels. What size were they?
thank you
Hi lisacase,
The labels are actually pale yellow in background and I just used the ink from the computer…as far as I know, I have only seen white avery labels as well!
