Blooming Tea

[Measha]

So, I've been fiddling around with this and that, ideas since moving the wedding to May. Our colors are green, pink, and brown and we're incorporating a garden "Tea" kind of notion.

Well, I got the idea to use "Tea Blooms" in my favors. Have any of you ladies seen these? Here is a small youtube video with good examples.

They can be a bit pricey, but it is possible to find them around $1 if you're lucky. The prettier ones run $3 +. Well I found This Seller (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=280228746878) on ebay and I'm very excited!

120 Blooms for about $50 and $19 shipping. That's about $0.58 per bloom. A massive deal! Now it's just time to figure out if he's a good seller. I'll be totally bummed if not. But there are other places to look.

I need to get over to that Paper Mart online place and see what kind of favor bags they have. Also wondering what else I could put with the bloom, if anything. They may be cool enough on their own right? I'll have to include little instructions too of course.

Some favors at wholesale prices cost a dollar, i can help you find something that wont go over your budget though. How much are you willing to spend? You can PM me if you want

i think the tea blooms are totally cool!!!

only thing is, they would have to have a clear glass teapot to appreciate it. or are you giving teapots as part of the favor?

which product number are you referring to, is it 23012? The tea light holder teapot? That does come with the saucer attached. You can give me the product numbers so I can further assist u.

No way! I wish that I would have been able to find that deal for our tea gifts! We ended up just using a tea bag with our favors. That blooming tea is amazing.

Awesome find. I hope that you have a good experience with the seller.

You can bloom them in normal pitchers, and even in single glasses too, so I won't be spending the extra money to buy them teapots :grinhappy:

And yes Keely I totally thought of you and your tea stuff! I was looking for cute teabags at first when I remembered these :D
