Sometimes you can take a color palette literally… and this is one of them. Honey and bees can make a great thread for a celebration. Whether it’s a wedding shower or a simple cocktail party for friends, there are so many recipes you can make with honey and a lot of packaged items for favors. Honey recipes can range from breakfast foods to drinks to sauces for appetizers, so your honey themed celebration could be any time of day. Here are a few of my honey and bee picks: Mrs. John L. Strong’s “bee crawling” note card set (great for informal invites or thank you cards), Donna Hay’s “marinated figs with brie & drizzled with honey” recipe, Bee Raw’s “honey favor bundles” (individual honey tubes), Masterstroke Canada’s “bee and hive” ribbon (great to tie around favors), wood honey dippers (as favors or drink stirrers), and Honey.com’s “bee sting” drink recipe (a good site for all sorts of honey recipes!)
