Trail mix as wedding favors? Who would have thought this possible, back in the days of giving Jordan almonds in silver baskets? Well, with a growing number of today\u2019s weddings being casual affairs held in the forested outdoors, with rustic decor and themes like boho, country western, glamping, and eco-chic, trail mix<\/strong> actually makes a wonderful option. And to present this healthy treat prettily for the occasion, here are 9 easy and attractive packaging options<\/strong> that would be just perfect! (*this post contains affiliate links<\/em>)<\/p>\n

Trail Mix Perfect for Fall Wedding\u00a0Favors<\/h2>\n

To prepare your trail mix favors, consider these packaging materials from bags to favor tags and labels:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Jars and bottles<\/strong> – A definite favorite would be mini mason or canning jars, and jam or jelly bottles. They show off the yummy contents, making a great favor display at the wedding. Plus, the jars and bottles themselves can be reused by guests back home.<\/li>\n
  2. Paper bags<\/strong> – Kraft bags and humble brown paper bags have found their place in the wedding world! They can be prettied up with stamping or paper doilies, or personalized with custom stickers or labels.<\/li>\n
  3. Organic pouches<\/strong> – In keeping with the rustic vibe, little pouches made of muslin, jute, sinamay, or burlap are just perfect. (Tip: Best to scoop the trail mix into clear cello bags first, if you\u2019re unsure about the pouches\u2019 food safety!<\/em>)<\/li>\n
  4. Boxes, baskets, or cones<\/strong> – Woven boxes, mini baskets, and even paper cones would make great take-home containers. Simply trim them with twine, raffia, or burlap strips for that organic look.<\/li>\n
  5. Fabric toppers<\/strong> – Bottled trail mix provides the perfect opportunity to bring in some really charming fabric toppers. Think gingham, western bandana, plaid, paisley, or polka dots!<\/li>\n
  6. Tags<\/strong> – The perfect finishing touch would be your favor tags. You can go with personalized photo tags, eco-friendly kraft paper cards, or those customizable online printables that you can match with your wedding theme or palette. Some popular phrases include “happy trails” printed on a label<\/a>\u00a0(*affiliate link via Amazon). See below:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"Happy<\/p>\n

    Savory, Spicy, Salty, or Sweet Trail Mix Favors<\/h2>\n

    Pick a savory, spicy, salty, or sweet mix that suits your palette! Try these flavor ideas:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Savory<\/strong> – pick hickory smoked BBQ nuts, garlic\u00a0nuts, or cheese flavored nut mixes<\/li>\n
    2. Spicy<\/strong> – pick jalapeno, Sriracha, Cajun, or wasabi flavored nuts.<\/li>\n
    3. Salty<\/strong> – pick simple roasted salt nut mixes or soy-flavored ones<\/li>\n
    4. Sweet<\/strong> – pick chocolate covered nuts or\u00a0honey or maple candied nuts<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
