This cute favor is incredibly easy to put together and will make your guests very happy -- who doesn't love a basket full of candy? Thanks to Elizabeth W. Gift Baskets and Shindig 411 for the great idea. Materials Small portable containers like favor baskets, dollar-store mini tubs or small flowerpots Candies in your theme colors (we used M&M's) Plastic floral tubes (find these at a florist supply store) Fresh flowers matching the blooms in your bouquet Tags and string Step 1: Fill each container with the candies. Step 2: Put water in the plastic tubes, and then insert a single flower in each one. Step 3: Embed one tube into each of the candy-filled baskets so that the flower appears to be growing out of the basket. Step 4: Inscribe your names and wedding date or a thank-you message on the tags, either by hand or with a computer. Tie a tag to each basket handle. See more of Elizabeth's creations at Elizabeth W.

I love mini picnic baskets as favor holders. I never even thought to put a single flower bud in them. I love the idea! Mini favor baskets are especially great for couples who got engaged in the park over a picnic lunch, or met at a company picnic, etc. Guests find them adorable and they're eco-friendly!
