Honey Favors for Your Event

Honey event favors are pure beeliciousness! Many event favors are decorative but are shoved into a drawer never to be seen again, or worse yet, thrown in the trash once guests return home.  Just Iowa Honey event favors are perfect because they’re decorative and edible! 

 

Pure raw honey is healthier than the processed honey that many people are familiar with in stores. The sweetness comes naturally – we don't over-process the honey by pasteurizing or ultra-filtering the honey, nor are there additives in our honey.  Read more about our processing standards on the About Our Products page.

NOTEWORTHY!  We are in the process of updating all of our label offerings!  We have finalized the wedding options for the hex jars, but are working on the other event labels!

Customer Reviews

Wedding Event

We agonized about a party favor and came across these cute little honey bears. Valerie made top hats and bow ties and a customized label. We placed it on our reception tables and people at first were scared to take them as they were so professionally done they thought it was part of the catering.  Her small business ethics and customer service are above par and I highly recommend her and this product for weddings, family reunions, etc. Thank you, Valerie!

Order Placement

Placing Orders

CONTACT US

  • Contact Form

  • Call us at (515) 278-4835

    • For a customized order, a phone call is the best means to gain information and/or place an order.  

Noteworthy

  • You can buy just the jar of honey, and prepare the favors yourself - many people love do-it-yourself projects, so the option is yours! 

  • If we prepare the favors, you will not receive a pile of ribbons and dippers to manage yourself - the favors will come fully assembled if you are local! 

    • If shipping favors, the label and ribbon will be on the jar.  The dipper will come unattached with instructions to add the dipper to the jar.  Trust us, the dipper is the easiest part!​

  • Minimum order is 12 each if you are having us prepare the favor with a label, etc. 

    • If you are preparing the favors yourself, you can buy any amount of jars or bears, but to get the volume discount (noted under Decisions/Decisions section), you will need to order at least 12 each.   

  • Lead time for product delivery

    • 12 - 48 quantity, a 4-day notice is adequate, but it also depends on your flexibility on ribbon color.

    • 50 - 250, a 2-week notice is adequate.

    • If you want a certain color of ribbon, the longer lead time the better your chance in getting the color of your choice.   

  • Down payment of half of the order is requested when placing an order.  Balance due on delivery of products.  

 

 

Decisins, Decisions!

Decisions, Decisions!

Hex Jar Pricing

You will need to choose between glass hex jars or plastic honey bears.  Whether you are having a formal or informal event, and how much money you want to spend on favors will impact this decision.  The glass hex jars are more expensive than the plastic honey bears, but also more refined for a formal event.  We provide more information on the hex jars and honey bears below.  

HEX JARS

Compare the amount of honey in our jars (and the size of our jars) with other venders - you will find you get more for your money with Just Iowa Honey! 

 

Two sizes to choose from - the picture below provides insight on the difference between the two sizes:

  1. .18# hex jar with pure, raw Iowa wildflower honey

    • A little over 2.5 inches tall:  $3.20

      • Normally, $3.40/jar, but with a volume purchase, you are getting a 'deal' compared to the price on our SHOP page!  ​

  2. 1/3# hex jar with pure, raw Iowa wildflower honey

  • About 3 inches tall and wider than the .18# jar:  $4.70​

    • Normally, $4.90/jar, but with a volume purchase, you are getting a 'deal' compared to the price on our SHOP page!  ​

Otherwise, choose your options:​

  1. Event color-coordinated ribbon - tied under the jar lid.  Double layer for fullness - choose 2 colors, or one color:  25 cents/jar

    • We can customize ribbon colors to match your event theme.  I do have a swatch card of all 131 ribbons that are available, so if you are local, you can come and look at the swatches.  
      • Link to the double-faced satin ribbon color-chart that are used on the jars.  While I do have various colors of ribbon, I can't guarantee that I will have the ribbon in stock for immediate delivery, but if you find a good match, and time allows, I can order in your choice of ribbon color.  

  2. Mini-honey dipper - tied to the side of the hex jar:  50 cents/jar

  3. Customized labels - personalized to your needs:  30 cents/jar

Customized Labels - Honey Bears

We are in the process of updating our label examples - none of the bear examples have been completed.  

Tabletop Favor Signs

Consider your favor display - how will you distribute your honey favors to your guests?  You may need to consider a tabletop sign, inviting your guests to take a favor.  

We can customize a 5" x 7" sign for you - we can make them any size, but since the favors are smaller, the 5X7 signs are about the right size!  If you are using a tiered display, then the table could support a larger sign.

 

Signs are printed on medium weight smooth cardstock.  We charge $4.00/sign to customize and print your sign!  If you want a larger sign, for instance 8"x10", the cost would be $5.00

Considerations for Displaying Your Sign

Options for sign displays/frames are in the list below.  The frame that I used for the pictures above is option #2, which comes in black (pictured) or gold.  The frame is magnetized, and it is easy to center your sign in the middle of the frame.

 

To get the 'colored border' around the sign, the paper is cut a tad smaller than 5"x7" so it allows a border.  Let me know when you order if you want a full 5"x7" sign, or a 6.50" x 4.50" so you can make use of a border.

  2. Black or Gold Acrylic Easel

  3. Slant Back Acrylic Frame
