Print + Cut Your Labels

Download my “Life is Salty, but Love is Sweet” labels at the end of the post and print onto regular old, white printer paper – the thin stuff. Trim each 4″ square label, there are four on a sheet. Here I am using a craft knife, metal ruler and cutting mat to perfectly trim my labels – I love the precision of this technique. But feel free to use a paper trimmer or even scissors – totally your call.

Trail Mix Ingredients

You have a lot of options when it comes to trail mix ingredients. For a wedding favor, I think you should only choose to include you and your fiancés favorite snacks. The more ingredients the better, but to start you should include at least 5 items. Think about candies, dried fruits, cereal, nuts and pretzels. Pretzels are great because everyone loves them and they take up a lot of space = cheaper, lol. You could also include colored candies to match your theme.

Fill Your Jars

These 8oz. jelly jars take right under 1 cup of mix. I wish I could tell you an exact weight as that would be easier to calculate supplies, but everyones trail mix will be a different weight.

Lids + Labels

1. Add the lid to the top of your jar
2. Cover the lid with a paper label and center as best you can
3. Screw the band onto the jar, over the paper

I absolutely LOVE how this looks and works! No joke, the paper is perfect and doesn’t inhibit the band from screwing on at all. The label looks cool and campy – perfect for your rustic event! I am recommending that you assemble these up to four weeks before your event, as the seal of the jar will keep your snacks fresh – although closer is always better. Store them in a cool place, away from sun and heat.

My free labels are designed to work with all mason jars that have the 2.5″ jar mouth.

I created aqua, red, blue and orange label options for you… but if these don’t work for your theme – get creative and design your own labels at 4″ square!
