Homemade Bath Scrub Instructions

A scented bath scrub makes an excellent gift for bridesmaids and hotel guests. It is the perfect skin smoother for the bride too!

* 3 cups epsom salt (or coarse sea salt)
* 1 cup almond oil (or canola oil or olive oil)
* Essential oils for fragrance

bath scrub ingredients

To make your own bath scrub, measure out your salt and pour into a large container or pot. Measure the almond oil (or olive oil, etc) and slowly pour into the salt while stirring. Finally, add the essential oil to the desired strength.

Essential oils can be mixed and matched to create unique scent combinations for the bath scrub. I used grapefruit and lemon which was a bright, refreshing scent. Consider trying green tea with tangerine, or lavendar with sage. Remember though, if you are giving these as gifts, try to stick to scents that others might enjoy. Citrus and minty scents are liked by most people, for example, and most fruits are a good bet too.

There are many containers you can choose for your bath scrub, just make sure that it can be sealed enough so it doesn't leak! Clear glass containers are lovely, and if there is no color to your essential oil you can add just a drop or two of food coloring to your bath scrub. (Just a drop or two will not stain skin when you use the scrub).




bath scrub labels

I printed out tags for my bath scrub gifts and attached them to the jar with ribbon. You can also print on sticker paper and make real custom labels. You can make up your own name like "Betsy & John's Lemon Heaven Bath Scrub" and you can list ingredients and provide instructions.

Cheap Wedding Favors

After the wedding reception, the couple gives away wedding favors. Wedding favors are given to the guests as symbols of appreciation. One does not need to have a big budget to give away great wedding favors to make the guests feel appreciated. Since a simple “thank you” can also make them feel appreciated. But it is always better to give a wedding favor rather than say a simple thank you.

Wedding favors are very special since they remind everyone of the beautiful wedding. Secondly, there are some wedding favors like candleholders, which do not belong inside the cabinet but can actually be used. Couples should exercise great care in choosing wedding favors because these tokens will be around for years to come.

In selecting wedding favors, price plays a big factor. Another factor that shouldn’t be forgotten is that the cheap wedding favor must match the wedding theme and possibly show the couples personality. A bad wedding favor is one that is none of the above. It costs too much, it does not match the theme, the result of which, it looks like it came from another wedding. If a wedding favor is bought because it is cheap but doesn’t reflect the couple’s personality then it would look like it didn’t come from the couple but from somebody else. Years later, nobody would remember where it came from unless pertinent details are engraved on it. Personalized favors are the to go if the couple wants to make sure that nobody will ever forget the wedding favor came from them. Personalized wedding favors are not exactly on the cheap side of the price scale. Cheap wedding favors include candies, chocolates, candles and coasters. But given a few years, who can remember edible wedding favors or wedding favors that melt? Selecting the perfect cheap wedding favor ultimately lies on the couple.

To save money, some couples make their own wedding favors. They make it into one of their fun and bonding sessions. If making your own wedding favor is not an option, since time is running out and creativity isn’t a strong area, cheap wedding favors can be easily found and bought from local stores. But it is far easier to search for cheap wedding favors online. It is always a good idea to search on the net for cheap wedding favor ideas before jumping from one store to the next since it does not need much effort. Before selecting the wedding favor, make sure that the site sells on your area and make sure of the shipping costs before buying them. If proper calculations are not made before the purchase, the cheap wedding favor actual becomes an expensive wedding favor.

Remember, cheap wedding favors do not have to be tacky nor forgettable. As already mentioned, wedding favors do not have to cost much. There are good wedding favors that sell below the dollar per piece. Following the law of economics, the prices per piece usually drops as the number of pieces ordered increases. This is highly advantageous to the couple. It just takes time and patience to land on the right website.

It will take a lot of your patience in looking for cheap wedding favors that you would like but if you are creative you can do it in the way you want to look like. It will also save most of your money.
