I love contests, don’t you? Okay, really, I don’t love contests, but I do love any excuse to daydream, and this is it, so join me!
Here’s how it works:
1) Pick one or more products from Beau-coup’s Wedding favors.
2) Using that product, please tell us how it would fit a wedding theme. You could tell us about the color palette, table decor, the type of venue, the overall mood, how you would use the product, or anything you can think of. You’re welcome to create an inspiration board or pictures to illustrate your ideas for extra points, but it’s not mandatory.
One winner will be randomly selected by me, and will receive a $75 gift card to Beau-coup!

Woo, hoo! We’re having an outdoor shindig that I like to think of a cocktail party under the stars. You know, drinks and swizzle sticks and overdressed people lounging in rustic settings, eating yummy finger foods (ahem, canapes) and dancing to waltzes. Ohhhh, yea.
And so I need these, right? If I was a guest, I’d bust these babies open and use them during the reception!
And we need to fill these with one perfect chocolate or one tiny crispy rice treat… Mr. Cheese loves chocolate and I prefer buttery wonders of goodness. The boxes are just formal enough to lend some elegance, but with sweet treats inside, are just like us. Ya know, in our formal duds but sweet and sappy all at once.
How fabulous would it be to get a monogrammed flask as a wedding party gift? Very decadent.
“Happiness held is a seed. Happiness shared is the flower.” Swoon. We’re getting married in our garden and I’ll be attempting to grow my own bouquet, so gifting seeds fits perfectly. How great would it be to get pics of the results?
Your turn. You have until Monday at 11:59 pm to pick a favor and explain how it would fit a theme. Let the imagination begin!
I pick the personalized matches - it would be a late fall/early winter, with warm deep reds/burgundys/browns, lots of candles, for a cozy atmosphere. The main theme would be something like “light of my life” or “warmth of our love” or something like that, and other favors could be pashimas or scarves.
I would pick the plantable seed wedding favors. I am probably going to end up getting these even if I don’t win. That’s how much I love them! We are trying to have a more eco-friendly wedding; We are eating organic local food, recycling the flowers (giving them to a local nursing home after we are done with them), and planting a tree the day after the wedding. These favors would be the perfect addition! Thanks for this contest!
I would choose the personalized cookie mixes as favors. How fun, and everyone knows that my fiance and I have ridiculous sweet tooths! The label would be moss green and burnt orange (my colors).
I love the idea of the lavender wedding rice. Not only does the purple color match our plum and sage color scheme, but its something safe to throw outside at our garden wedding (where we can’t have rice or anything synthetic). I think it would be an unexpected twist on throwing rice that guests would really like.
I’d like to get the mint tins as our favors. FI loves loves mints and always has a box or tin of mints with him. So this would be a nice personal touch. I also want to make personalized labels to go on top of the mint tins so we can be thrifty and eco (another personal touch) and use them as place cards.
I have to pick the personalized wedding goodie bags for my candy bar. My mom really loves the idea of the candy bar so that would be a wonderful touch to the whole thing.
Oooh, I’ve had my eye on those cocktail shakers for months now!
We’re doing an outdoor wine country wedding in fall, at a private estate with huge oak trees for the ceremony, and a modern house + candlelit pool for guests to lounge around on sofas/ottomans. Kind of a city + country feel… I think the mini cocktail shakers would be a great accent to the bar/lounge area!
The color palette is pale champagne/golds with darker merlot/burgundy accents. The mini oil and vinegar bottles with personalized labels would be a perfect favor, and even match the palette.
(If we were going to break the bank, I’d give away wine in the personalized jute wine bags, but sadly those are not in our budget.)
Great contest idea!
Hi Miss Cheese! I love the silver luggage tags - and especially the ones shaped as an airplane! My fiance is French and most of our relationship has developed over two continents. Plus, half the guestlist is coming from France! So travel and experiencing different cultures are themes of both our relationship and our wedding. A luggage tag favor reflects that perfectly - AND it’s practical!
Since our wedding will be nestled in the Mountains of Upstate NY in an old victorian manor, I would buy the leaf name card holders. Our entire wedding is taking on a rustic orange, red, amber feel. It would complete the mood because I cannot find the perfect place card holders and these are beautiful!
I’d go with the snowflake topped wine stopper. We’re having wine cork place cards for our January wedding, and it would help pull the winter wonderland theme I’m going for together!
i would use the chinese takeout boxes to pack my “pair of thai elephants” into as favors. this is exactly what i’d been looking for.
Definitely the glass spice jars, so I could mix up a saucy condiment and give each guest a way to remember the flavors of summer after our wedding!
I am really wanting the personalized hand fans. My wedding is going to be on the 4th of July outdoors and my guests will definitely need all the help they can get trying to stay cool in the summer sunshine!
I adore the little metal sailboats. The will go perfectly with our nautical blue, white & Purple theme. How cute would they be filled with wintergreen life savers on the bar. Maybe with the jelly life savers for the kids tables and chocolate shells for the adult tables? (I love the way kifesavers look like life preservers.)
We could number the flags and use them for table numbers too!
The tea sachets are great! We are the last in our group of friends to get married so we have already agreed that edible favors are the ones we enjoy most. And a nice warm cup of tea goes well with our fall wedding, plus the groom’s mom and I both love tea!
oh! i love the oil and vinegar bottles because we are honeymooning in Italy and serving Italian food at our reception. plus, fiance and i love to cook, so it would be a nice way to share the joy!
I love the mini classic silver place frames. Our wedding is outside, so these would be perfect!
how lovely! I’ like the spice jars! love is a mix of so many things!!
I would choose the cupcake candle (http://www.beau-coup.com/mini-cupcake-candle-favors.htm). Our wedding theme is an “old fashioned sweet shop” and we plan to have a dessert and candy bar to go with a fun, casual, cute, and laid back atmosphere. At our dessert bar, we are showcasing my favorite cupcake shop and the FI’s favorite cupcake shop in a cupcake-off. We might just have guests vote on which cupcakery was their favorite too and associate it with a prize! 
The BlackBook NYC version would be perfect for the gift bags for our out of town guests. We are having an urban nyc wedding in shades of plum and black- so even the color of the books would be spot on.
