Miniature Bird's Nest Wedding Favors (Set of 12)*
This clever treasure is the key to a multitude of creative contraptions that you can build around the home or in a hall during a party setting. The Miniature Bird's Nest Wedding Favor is exactly what it sounds like, a very tiny nest, 2.25"D and sold as a set of 12. Within that nest you can nestle just about anything you want, creating an instant eye catching centerpiece for your guests to enjoy.
The nest is a symbol of home itself. That is why nests are so often placed in wedding halls and reception areas, to signify that a new home is being created on that special day. It can also be used as a centerpiece at an anniversary party, as a way of showing the strength of the home created by the couple's love. Guests understand it without being told, which is rare for a table decoration.
This miniature nest can hold just about anything you like. If you find tiny Jordan almonds you can place them in the nest as a treat for guests, where they will look like tiny baby bird eggs. You can also find chocolate novelty eggs and place them within. The contrast does the work: rough twigs, smooth candy, one small perfect arrangement repeated down the length of a table.
This is a wonderful decoration for an Easter party as well. You can place little marshmallow birds inside the nest, or even just regular candies, raisins, nuts, or any tiny treat that you can imagine. At a larger party this can be part of a place card setting. Coordinate the color of the contents, whether it is candies or nuts, with the shade of a napkin and create a tiny place card with the person's name on it, either propped against the nest or laying just before it.
Because they come twelve to a set, one order covers a head table, a dessert table or a full sweetheart-table arrangement, and the leftovers keep working at home on a shelf, a windowsill or a spring mantel long after the day itself.
Choose how many sets your tables need, decide what will sit inside, and let the smallest thing on the table be the one people talk about.

- They are supplied as the bird nest only, so build in time to fill all twelve before the event.
- Nests are made of natural material, so no two are identical in shape or weave.

- Count your tables and seats, then order in sets of 12. One set covers a dozen place settings or a head table arrangement.
- Decide what goes inside before the nests arrive: Jordan almonds, chocolate novelty eggs, marshmallow birds, candies, raisins or nuts, in a color that picks up your napkins.
- Fill each nest and set it at a place setting, on a dessert table or along a centerpiece run, with a small name card propped against it if you are using them as place cards. Orders ship insured by UPS, FedEx or USPS with tracking emailed to you.
Ideas for what to put inside
- Jordan almonds, which sit in the nest looking like tiny baby bird eggs.
- Chocolate novelty eggs, one per guest or three per nest for a family table.
- Little marshmallow birds for an Easter table or a spring brunch.
- Candies, raisins or nuts chosen to match the color of your napkins.
- A rolled place card or a folded note tucked between the twigs instead of a treat.
Which one should I choose
The real question is whether you want a favor that arrives finished or a setting you assemble to match your own colors.
| Miniature Bird's Nest Wedding Favors (Set of 12) | Choose them when you want to fill the favor yourself, match the contents to your napkins and carry the symbol of home across the whole room. |
|---|---|
| A pre-filled favor box or pouch | Choose that when you have no time to assemble anything and the favor needs to arrive ready to place. |
| A printed paper place card on its own | Choose that when the table already has a centerpiece and you only need the name. |
For a rustic or spring table, the nest wins: it works as decoration, place card and treat holder at once, and twelve of them cover a table.
Ordering the Miniature Bird's Nest Wedding Favors (Set of 12) for weddings and events
Ordering Miniature Bird's Nest Wedding Favors for a wedding, shower or company event begins with your seat count, because the nests come twelve to a set and most hosts use one per place setting. Decide the contents at the same time, since Jordan almonds, chocolate eggs, candies or nuts each need their own lead time from your own supplier. The nests carry no printed wording, so when every guest needs a name, pair each nest with a small place card. Standard production is 5–10 business days, rush is 3–5 and expedite is 1–3, plus 2–5 days US shipping, and weddings should be ordered 3–6 months ahead so you have time to fill and style them.
