JUST IOWA HONEY
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.

CUSTOMER REVIEW
We agonized about a 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!

Placing Orders
You can reach out to us via our Contact Form, or you can call us, which for a customized order, a phone call is the best means to gain information and/or place an order. We can be reached at (515) 278-4835.
​
Please know that 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! Also please know that if you choose to have us prepare the favors for you, you will not receive a pile of ribbons and dippers to manage yourself - the favors will come fully assembled and ready for your event if you are local! If we are shipping favors to you, the label and ribbon will be on the jar, and the dipper will come with an elastic band and transparent sticky dot (to adhere securely to the jar side) and instructions for adding the dipper to the jar. Trust me, the dipper is the easiest part!
​
-
The smallest amount of favors that can be ordered are 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 honey jars.
-
-
Lead time for product delivery
-
For smaller orders such as 12 - 48, a 4-day notice should be adequate, but it also depends on your flexibility on ribbon color.
-
For larger orders such as 50 - 250, a 2-week notice should be adequate.
-
If you want a certain color of ribbon, the longer lead time the better your chance in getting the color of your choice.
-
Decisions, Decisions!
Everyone likes to have the opportunity to choose their own destiny, and we do have options for you!
​
Decision 1: Hex jars or honey bears; if honey bears, what color bottle cap?
Do you like the hex jars or the honey bears? Whether you are having a formal or informal event, how much money you want to spend on favors may impact this decision. The glass hex jars are more expensive than the plastic honey bears, but also more refined for a formal event.
​
If choosing honey bears, you will need to choose the color of bottle cap that you want on the bear:
-
White
-
Black
-
Red
-
Lime Green
-
Dark Green
-
Baby Blue
-
Baby Pink
-
Dark Blue
-
Dark Brown
-
Orange
-
Purple
​
Decision 2: What label should I choose?
The label examples on this page are just for getting ideas - let me know what you are thinking, and I will create several samples for you to review, provide feedback. We work together until the label is to your liking. Once you've decided on content, I work on the details (centering, placement, font sizing, and such). You will get a proof, and I will not print labels until I have your approval!
-
Hex Jars: See label examples below.
-
Arched or square​​, if choosing the hex jar.
-
-
Honey Bears: See label examples below.
​
Decision 3: Do I want add-ons to customize my favors even more?
Add-ons - you can determine if you want none, one or all of the add-ons for your event!
​
​HEX JARS
-
Event color-coordinated ribbon - tied under the jar lid.
- You will need to tell us what color ribbon that you would like. For a wedding, if you have fabric samples, we can try and match the favor ribbon to your wedding colors. I do have the 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 many 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.
-
Mini-honey dipper - tied to the side of the hex jar.
-
Customized labels - personalized as you like!
-
Bridal netting - an elegant touch for bridal showers or wedding events!
