Are you planning an environmentally friendly wedding? If you are, being Eco-friendly must really be important to you and the groom. You want to show the importance to your guests what being Eco-friendly means to you and how you incorporate it into your life. Showing them how you do it, may want them to try to incorporate it into their life. What is the best way to do this? Send them home with a "green" party favor.

Seed Packets: Providing seeds, such as plants or flower seeds in environmentally friendly packaging will definitely get your message across. Your guests will be able to take home their favors and actually plant them in their very own home.

Trees and plants help the environment and placing them all in a recyclable packaging will convey your message of help saving the environment.

Potted Plants: If you're hosting a rustic wedding or party, potted plants can not only serve as great decor, but also a parting gift as well. A wedding outdoors will look great with adorable potted plants.

The guests have probably been eying them all night and come to find out, they get to take them home! They'll absolutely love the idea that they'll be able to take this wedding favor home and place it out in their home. Every time they look at it, they'll think of you.

Donate: Another great favor idea for a wedding or party is to make a donation in honor of your guests. Whether you make a donation to a charity or local foundation that you support, your guests will love that there is a donation out there in their name.

It's a great way to offer support to any foundation through your event, get it's name out there and maybe even recruit some more supporters. Having donations serve as your favor will give so many benefits to the foundation and your guests.

All- Natural Totes: If you're planning an out-of-town wedding, give your guests will an all-natural welcome bag. An organic tote bag filled with natural ingredient filled personal care products will have your guests being so grateful that they came! However, you may think that your guests won't realize that their totes are organic.

So, include a little note in the bag explaining the contents and the importance of "going green". Your gift bag can even go with whatever theme you're going with for your party of wedding. Guests will love this Eco-friendly favor.

These 4 wedding and party favor ideas for an Eco-friendly event will be a true hit at your next event. However, there are so many more ideas like soy candles, honey, organic tea or organic candy. If it's for a birthday party, let children create their own party favor out of recyclable items. Personalizing these favors to fit your theme for your wedding or party will be truly ideal! You'll be introducing your guests to how you live your lifestyle so maybe they can incorporate it within theirs. Environmentally friendly wedding favors will be a huge success and help provide a clean environment.

I think party favors at a wedding reception can make a huge statement to guests about the bride and groom, but they sometimes get overlooked as not being very important.

I recently saw an idea in the February 2009 issue of Better Homes and Gardens that sparked some other ideas for great wedding favors. If I had it to do over again (which, I'm glad I don't!), I would definitely consider using these ideas related specifically to my hobby: cooking.

There are websites such as BHG.com/tastebook that will help you design your own recipe booklet. You choose the cover design, title, add your photos and recipes and they create it for you. I think this would be a creative, usable wedding favor.

The other idea is to find mini kitchen utensils such as a whisk and spatula that can be tied together with ribbon and a tag with the poem, "Recipe for a Happy Home" (which you can find on the internet).
Either of these can be used as place cards if you're having a sit-down wedding reception. Or you can simply display them in a large stockpot or colander for your guests to pick up on their way out. With so many people into cooking these days, I thought these ideas would be great incorporated into a wedding reception.

If you're not the creative type, there are some great vendors on Wedding and Party Network who have fantastic wedding favors. In fact, many of them have awesome and creative ideas for ready-made party favors related to hobbies that will fit your interests. Any hobby can be a great wedding favor theme. I found this interesting garden theme wedding favor at Claudia's Mementos. This would be a fantastic idea for couples who love to garden.

So if you're not a cook like I am, think about the things you could use as wedding favors that are related to your hobby. If you love it, they will too.
