Favors Part Deux - DIY!!

Brain storm! Instead of buying all the pre-made tea tins:

• Tins: $0.51 each
• Teabags: 250 for $66.00 = $0.26 each * 4 bags/tin = $1.05 per favor
• Labels: $30 for 100 sheets of 12 labels each, to print on (that would be... 1200 labels); assuming 150 favors to be made, then $0.20
• Ribbon: $15 ought to cover lots of ribbon, for 150 favors, so $0.10/favor
  

That brings the tea part up to $1.86/tea favor.

Add that to $1.94 per mug (see last post) and now we don't need the infuser, because the tea will come in round bags (I ADORE Republic of Tea), that would be about $3.80/favor, mug and tea together. Much better than before!

I think I'd go with white honeysuckle tea and white jasmine tea. Asian flowers and delicate white tea. Yummmmy!!

(Actually, when the cost of shipping and taxes and extra costs like imprinting and computer ink are factored in, each favor will probably be closer to $4.50/$5. Still, better than the $7-9 before this DIY idea! When you take $4 and multiply it by 150 people, and then do that repeatedly for every facet of the wedding, the pennies start to add up...)
