Paradise Awaits
We returned to Casa Velas for the 2nd year in a row & we were even more happy with our stay this time! It s the most quiet & peaceful resort we have ever stayed at. If you are looking for a relaxing getaway, this is the place to go! The grounds & accommodations are beautiful & the staff could not be more helpful and pleasant! We will be back at Casa Velas again!

Amazing service and wonderful amenities.
Casa Velas is another facet of the Velas Resorts in Puerto Vallarta. This one is definitely more couples and adults only. Amazing gardens and water features. There is no other resort that features outstanding service at all levels like they do at Casa Velas! Every single food option is well thought out and provides for a variety of tastes. You need to remember to let them serve you! It is in believable the way that they provide thoughtful service to meet everyone of your needs!

10 Fun And Eco-Friendly Wedding Favors Ideas For A Sustainable Celebration

Your wedding day is a magical occasion filled with love, joy, and the promise of a beautiful future together. 

As you plan every aspect of your special day, why not extend your love for the planet by incorporating eco-friendly wedding favors? These unique and sustainable tokens of appreciation not only demonstrate your commitment to the environment but also leave a lasting impression on your guests. 

In this article, we present ten original and fun eco-friendly wedding favor ideas that will make your celebration even more memorable.

#1 Plantable Seed Packets

Encourage your guests to sow seeds of love by offering plantable seed packets as wedding favors. 

These beautiful packets can contain a mix of flower or herb seeds that guests can plant at home. Include personalized instructions on how to grow the seeds, and watch as your love blossoms in their gardens.

#2 Reusable Stainless Steel Straws

Help your guests reduce single-use plastic waste by gifting them stylish and eco-friendly reusable stainless steel straws. 

Personalize each straw with their names or initials to make them feel extra special. Include a small cleaning brush and a note about the positive impact they are making on the environment.

#3 Honey Jar Delights

Delight your guests with miniature jars of locally sourced honey. Supporting local beekeepers not only helps sustain bee populations but also promotes biodiversity. 

Decorate the jars with ribbons and a custom label, and share a note about the importance of bees in our ecosystem.

#4 Organic Herb Infused Olive Oil

Treat your guests to a taste of the Mediterranean with small bottles of organic herb-infused olive oil. 

This sustainable and flavorful wedding favor can be made at home by infusing high-quality olive oil with fresh herbs. Include a recipe card or suggestions for how to use the oil, and remind your guests to support local farmers whenever possible.

#5 Handcrafted Soy Candles

Create a warm and cozy atmosphere for your guests while promoting sustainability by offering handcrafted soy candles as wedding favors. 

Soy candles are made from renewable resources and produce less soot and toxins compared to traditional paraffin candles. Opt for candles scented with natural essential oils to provide a soothing and aromatic experience. 

Package the candles in recyclable or reusable containers and adorn them with personalized labels or ribbons. Your guests will appreciate the relaxing ambiance these eco-friendly candles bring, along with the thoughtfulness behind their sustainable creation.

#6 Potted Succulents

Potted succulents make for charming and low-maintenance wedding favors. These hardy plants come in various shapes and sizes, making them perfect for any guest to take home and care for. 

Attach a small tag with care instructions and a heartfelt message of gratitude for sharing in your special day.

These living keepsakes will not only remind your guests of your special day but also provide them with a sustainable source of flavor and fragrance in their kitchens.

Your wedding day is an opportunity to showcase your love for both your partner and the planet. By choosing eco-friendly wedding favors, you can inspire your guests to adopt sustainable practices in their own lives. From plantable seed packets to handmade soaps, each favor represents a small step towards a greener future. 

Remember, sustainability is not just a trend, it's a way of life. By choosing eco-friendly wedding favors, you're not only celebrating your love but also showing your commitment to a better world. Let your wedding day be a symbol of love, joy, and the collective effort to protect and preserve our planet for future generations.
