Wedding favours

[Popparand]

I've been asked to quote for wedding favours. What size jar do people usually supply their honey in?

Pound jars, but for that it might be better to use jars that hold around one ounce.

Something like this....https://www.thorne.co.uk/packaging-and-hive-products/containers/glass-honey-jars?product_id=5093

One ounce is a bit tight ! I did 200 2ounce jars in the summer.
Get yourself a 250ml syringe, it makes filling them a breeze.

I'm with HM on this one ... pound jars and charge accordingly. It'll make the wedding memorable to the guests and you'll get a tidy little profit.

1 lb jars are also a lot less of a pita to fill

Wedding favours are usually small and often "showy". Check the size but you might find this https://www.jjshouse.co.uk/Honeybee-Favor-Boxes-With-Ribbons-Set-Of-12-050060741-g60741 useful.

I only did this once, as a favour to my son, and I used the 42g jars (I only charged for costs). I used the usual gate on the bucket, which was really difficult with the small jars - 200 jars took forever. I wish I had thought of a syringe!

...even faster with one of these for £4.45...https://www.amazon.co.uk/Filling-Be...TF8&qid=1540550075&sr=8-2&keywords=honey+pump

...there are others for only a couple of £££s

What does that fit onto HM?

Looks like a wider bore version of what I use to bottle my homebrew! Would have thought honey was too viscous to work with that, but you learn something every day. I would love to have enough honey to justify trying one of those; the homebrew version is certainly fun!

Not that I labelled these; the customer labelled them themselves (they were for the wedding of the daughter of the farmer where I have my out apiary) ... but I think they turned out well. Simple and unfussy. Apparently, they went down a storm.

1.5oz round jars from F&H

check this one if you're looking for the best wedding favors for your wedding guests. And it's fine to give favors per couple not for each guest.
