- 1). Make powdery white "snow treats." Instead of the normal candy-covered almonds or mints, provide a snow-white treat that will remind your guests of a winter landscape.Melt 1 cup chocolate, semi-sweet chips in a double boiler. When the chocolate is melted, stir in a cup of peanut butter and 1/4 cup butter. Stir until the heat from the chocolate melts the mixture and the ingredients are combined. In a plastic bowl, combine 8 cups of Wheat Chex with the melted mixture and stir until it's coated. In another bowl, put 2 cups powdered sugar and add the Chex mix. Stir until it's coated with the sugar. Spread this onto a cookie sheet and put it in the refrigerator until cooled. Wrap handfuls of this powdery white confection in blue cellophane and tie it with a snow-white ribbon. This will make 20 favors. The recipe can be doubled, tripled or quadrupled.
- 2). Give your guests personalized tree ornaments, as your wedding will fall near the holiday season. If you order from a store that specializes in holiday ornaments, you can have them personalized to say anything you want. The more you order, the less expensive they will be, so decide on a design and message and have it finalized when you order them.
- 3). Burn and decorate CDs of your favorite holiday music. Give your guests a gift they can listen to by burning them a CD of your favorite holiday tunes and decorating it with a personalized message. Most computer printers are equipped to print on CD labels. Put the date and your names on the label with a snowflake motif, and pack them in tinted blue jewel cases.
- 4). Present your guests with mini-holiday wreaths. While large pine wreaths can be expensive, plain small wreaths are inexpensive and easy to decorate. A little red velvet ribbon and silver tinsel wrapped around the circumference of the wreath will make it holiday appropriate, and a small label with the date and your names tied to the front will remind your guests of the wedding. Print the label on rough brown paper and paste it to a small, thin piece of balsa wood. Tie the homemade sign to the bottom front of the wreath with thin twine. It will be a gift no one will forget.
