Mason Jar Madness

December 16th, 2010 @ 8:15 am by Mrs. Cinnamon Bun

When I was still in “English-rustic-country-picnic” mode, and not yet in “book decor” mode, I thought a lot about Mason jars. I have a few old ones around the house that may still make it into the wedding, but our decor focus is going to be more on the books now that we’ve found a theme we both like. I don’t want all my Mason jar Etsy finds to go to waste, though, so I’m going to share them! You could do a whole canning-jar-themed wedding with these guys!

Firstly, your guests need to save your date!

Then they’ll need invites to your wedding:

Or you could make your own, using this rubber stamp:

When the guests get to your venue, they’ll need light! Indoors:

And outdoors:

When they use the restrooms, they’ll need to wash their hands.

And wouldn’t Mason jar printed tea towels with cute tags make the perfect favours?

Or you could buy a whole lot of Mason jars and make things yourself!

I think it is so great how something as mundane as a canning jar is suddenly wedding chic. Mason jars make me think of simpler times, when everyone knew how to preserve food and did so more for necessity than fun. Are there Mason jars in your wedding? Are you decorating with another so-called “mundane” object?

We are having a rustic, country, spring wedding and are using Mason jars EVERYWHERE! I found a person on Craig’s List who was giving a bunch away - like 200 - for FREE! I emailed him immediately! Now we are using them for centerpieces, to decorate the aisle (hanging from shepard hooks), and putting votive candles in them on every day and other misc. surfaces. Definitely my best wedding ‘find’!

I am using the blue mason jars for my centerpieces I have always like them but totally fell in love once I saw amazing weddings using them. I started collecting before we were even engaged :)

i heart mason jars too! but i went the easier route of sourcing the jars and hounded my friends’ baby bottle jars instead.

LOOOOOOVE mason jars. Sorta wished they weren’t such a trend now though. They’re getting so pricey!

I actually own the mason jar stamp from sugarskull. She even designed a custom ball jar stamp for me.
