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!
