...you can't have a truck full of bread to offer your guests as favors?

I have to tell you this is exactly what I want to do.  I'll have a person dressed up as a baker (big hat and all), standing at the back of a vintage truck full of fresh loaves with big tongs that he uses to pull one out and slide into a personalized paper sleeve that he then hands to the guest. 

And do you remember the olive oil favor post last week?  (See it here.)  Well, I would make some dipping oil out of it and offer it to guests as well!  Yummy.

~ favors: olive oil ~

I am swooning over this simple favor idea...

Wonderful little bottles of olive oil (who doesn't like or use olive oil) for your guests to take home...

All with a cute tag...

Frankie's olive oil can be purchased here.  I love the idea that Sunday Suppers suggested to save on cost - purchase a big bottle and distribute it into smaller ones...then you can add your own personlized tag!

And lastly include a recipe that your guests can make at home!  I love flatbread - yummy - and I would definitely try this recipe at home.  Really this idea can be done with tons of different items...jam with a homemade muffin recipe, apple butter with a favorite bread recipe, jars of just about anything with a recipe...be creative and have fun with it!
