Help! I'm at a loss...

We're having a very small backyard wedding with a picnic theme. Our colors are blue & white. I love daisies so those will be present throughout. I'd like to come up with something fairly simple that I can DIY. I'm having a hard time coming up with something that will fit our theme and not cost an arm and a leg!

Thanks!

I found these little basket favors that you could fill with some candy: http://www.americanbridal.com/silver-favor-baskets-gfv369.html

Or give these lemonade mixes that say "Nothing is sweeter than love": http://www.accenttheparty.com/inc/sdetail/9800

I love the lemonade mixes!! I've seen those baskets I just wasn't sure if I wanted to do candy or what...

I was looking for something I could make and didn't really look at much else but I am in love with the lemonade! Awesomest! (Yes, it's a word. It's my word. LOL!)

I like that!
A friend of mine thought of using mason jars and putting candy in them and then tying a ribbon around the top with a drink recipe on a card. I like that but I'm thinking that much candy could get quite expensive. Maybe a few daisys with a drink recipe or something...?? I don't know. Thoughts?

You can buy really small canning jars. We got some wide mouth ones to give salsa away this Christmas, and they were very cute!

OR, You could use the mason jars and put in some tea with a recipe card that explains how to make Iced tea...Perhaps alternating Iced tea and lemonade!

I love the theme though :)

It's kinda picnic themed, you can have frisbees with a tag saying "love is in the air."

I think I've got it!

Mason jars...tea bags and a recipe for Sweet Tea. With a ribbon tied around the top and a card (tag) saying it's from us.

I'm from Arkansas so it really hits home. I have to run it by FH of course, but he really won't care. He loves Sweet Tea anyways!

I'd love to come up with a poem but I'm not a poet by any means. Any ideas ladies?
