As we gear up for Hurricane Sandy here in the Northeast, we were inspired by our first aid kit prep. The best wedding favors are ones that mean something to the couple, so if you or your soon-to-be spouse are in a medical profession, first aid kit favors would not only be a creative way to personalize your parting gifts, but also practical—after all, we are moving into sickness season.
In small personal boxes or baskets, have a few medicine essentials available for your “In Sickness and in Health” favors. Cough drops, tissues and ibuprofen cover the basic symptoms. Hot tea packets, bottled water or a secret-family herbal remedy packet serve as a helpful alternative to the wedding’s other beverages. A bottle of lip balm will help soothe chapped lips and skin, and a little bottle of hand sanitizer will help prevent those icky germs spreading. Tie everything together with a can of homemade chicken noodle soup, and the guests will have everything they need to battle the winter months.
