Flower (Bulb) Wedding Favor


If you are having a spring or fall wedding, giving guests the gift of tulip bulbs is a great idea. This favor can be very cost effective, quick, and can be made to match your décor perfectly.

Here’s what you’ll need to make this wedding favor:

  • Bulk tulip bulbs
  • Small bags either made of material or metallic plastic (in the appropriate color)
  • Ribbon (in the appropriate color)
  • Cardstock (in the appropriate color)

Here are step by step details on making these wedding favors:

  • STEP 1: Buying the bulbs. It should be easy to find a large bag of bulbs at a local garden store, home centre, or even a discount department store. Plan ahead and try to find a sale!
  • STEP 2: Buying the decorative materials. Here you what to check out the local dollar store first, you can often find a lot of the materials for a lot less. Keep your dĂ©cor in mind at all times, try to coordinate colors and themes to match the rest of your decorations.
  • STEP 3: Simply place a few bulbs in the bag and decorate as necessary.
  • STEP 4: Make sure that your guests know what is in the bag and know what to do with the bulbs.

You may want to include a short message or poem, here are some options:

Thank you for sharing our special day,
The day has been perfect in every way.
Please accept this little gift,
They will grow in your garden and give it a lift.

Our love will grow as time goes by,
Plant these bulbs and they too will grow high,
We thank you for being here today,
We appreciate your support, that’s all there is to say.

We thank you for sharing this day with us.
Please accept this small gift with our thanks.
Please plant them and think of us.

Another alternative is to find a famous quote that is appropriate, or make up your own!

No matter what you wedding favors, gather as many friends and family as possible, make a party out of it. This will ensure that you have fun and that the job gets done as soon as possible.
