Flavored Salts and Sugars as Favors

I had wanted to do flavored salts as Christmas gifts last season, but I think I might save them as potential wedding favors instead once I figure out the costs.  There are a couple of benefits to using flavored salts as a wedding favor:
  • Edible wedding favors are fun!
  • Flavored salts probably last a long time since you don't need to sprinkle a ton of salt in one sitting (though I'm not sure what the shelf life is on these babies considering any moisture content).
  • They're easy to make in batches as long as you have a food processor!
  • There are so many flavors you could make that there's really something for everyone.
  • Different types means different colors, too!  So pretty!
  • They should be pretty cost effective.  How much is a pound of salt at the store, maybe a few bucks?  Add in whatever flavors you want to combine, and I'm guessing you could make it for less than $1 per favor (add in the cost of the container and labels, and it's probably about a dollar per favor).  I think the salt bowl and spoon are super cute, but I gotta keep this under budget.  Maybe wooden spoons.


Other potential flavored salt recipes to use:

We could also try the flavored sugar variant, but I don't see as many recipes for this online.  However, I did find these babies on AlwaysOrderDessert.com:



Holy crap, flavored/colored sugar cubes??  I DIE.  Probably too much DIY work for what I want to do, but how adorable are these???

Hot Chocolate Vials



I love this for a winter wedding! The vials would also be great for other types of fillings if we're thinking of other seasons. From InspiredBride.

Favors

I used to make a ton of fortune-tellers (also known as "cootie catchers") when I was working with kids in elementary schools, so when I saw it done as a wedding favor, I was excited! They're simple to make and fun to play with, and I like how elegantly done this one was.  I think these can be done inexpensively as well.  The Etsy vendor who made this one had an inexpensive price list (relatively cheap, for Etsy favors).  Could also be used as a fun place card.
