\"Hot<\/p>\n

It\u2019s cold outside! Yes, we know! So, hot cocoa favors are just the thing for your winter wedding! But, how do you package them? This post presents you with creatively cool ideas on how to present and package hot cocoa. From test tubes to tins to sticks, hot cocoa just got a lot cooler, baby!<\/p>\n

The Inspiration! Cool and Creative Finds!<\/h2>\n

\"Hot<\/p>\n

Items you can use for packaging<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course, you start with the favor containers. Make your choice depending on the vibe you\u2019re going for or to match your wedding theme.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Test tubes<\/strong> are a unique way to package cocoa mix ingredients separately, then present as a set.<\/li>\n
  2. Vintage tins<\/strong> or mason jars<\/strong> would give a charming, country-kitchen look (you could also use canning jars or canisters with clamps).<\/li>\n
  3. Mugs<\/strong> that come pre-decorated provide a festive look, while espresso cups<\/strong> can be hip and trendy.<\/li>\n
  4. To complete the containers, include decorative stir sticks<\/strong> or mini wooden spoons<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Items you can use for presentation<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Now comes the fun part: dressing up your chosen containers! Our finds offer some really pretty inspiration, but do add your own ideas.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Tie up your favors with materials to suit your theme: colored or patterned ribbons<\/strong>, rustic raffia<\/strong>, baker\u2019s twine<\/strong>, chenille sticks<\/strong>, metallic twist ties<\/strong>, and more.<\/li>\n
    2. Incorporate edible treats<\/strong> that are decorative, too, like mini cookies, candy canes, peppermint bonbons, and lollipops.<\/li>\n
    3. Finish each package with a gift tag, sticker<\/strong>, or label<\/strong>\u2014personalized in your own handwriting or bearing a special thank you note.<\/li>\n
    4. While at the wedding, display the favors on serving trays in silver, gold, or wood\u2014again to suit your themed decor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Items for a \u2018cool\u2019 look<\/strong><\/p>\n

      For some extra flair, you can also add elements that are a current trend or perhaps something unique or unexpected. Two examples from our finds:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Mini bottles of liqueur tied on with twine<\/li>\n
      2. Chalkboard tags (for the printables – see the link below<\/em>)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Other cool options to consider<\/em>: glitter, confetti, tags or labels with geometric graphics, containers in \u2018neon Christmas\u2019 colors, cable-knit \u2018sleeves\u2019 that you can DIY<\/a>
        \n
        \nPLUS! Hot Cocoa on a Stick!<\/strong><\/p>\n
