Offering two jam flavours makes a wedding favour feel personal, but it adds a choice to the table or packing process. Give that choice a clear place on the label. Then decide whether guests choose their own jar or receive a flavour assigned in advance.
01
Decide how guests receive the flavours
For a self-serve favour table, keep each flavour in its own clearly marked group and show the names on the jars. For a place setting, decide which flavour goes at each seat. For welcome bags, write the assortment rule on the packing list.
Imagine an event with Strawberry and Apricot favours. If you plan one jar at each place, an alternating pattern may help setup. If guests choose from a table, the starting quantities may need to reflect the preferences you already know. Record your chosen quantities rather than relying on how the display looks.
02
Make flavour text visible beside the wedding details
Give both flavours the same label size and keep their names on the same line. Add a colour accent as an extra cue. The printed word remains useful when jars are viewed in dim light or the colour is hidden by a ribbon.
Place the couple’s names and date in a fixed area. A short name may look balanced in a script style while a longer pair needs a wider block. Proof the longest names and the longest flavour together so the final layout works for every jar.
| Distribution | Label information | Packing record |
|---|---|---|
| Favour table | Flavour visible from the front | Quantity allocated to each display group |
| Place setting | Names, date and flavour together | Jar allocation by table |
| Welcome bag | Identity remains with the jar | Flavour rule for each bag group |
03
Check the container after filling and closing
Use the exact jar model and lid for the paper proof. A raised shoulder can reduce the flat front panel, and a recessed lid can take a smaller circle than its outside diameter suggests. If a decorative cover overlaps the front, move the product identity lower or shorten the cover.
Keep any necessary product details readable on the finished jar. Prepare them from the actual product and the requirements for its use and market. Any change to the jar for food production should be reviewed within that production process before you order favour packaging.
04
Run a small assembly rehearsal
Prepare one favour of each flavour with all the decorative pieces. Lay them beside the place cards, then put them into the intended bags. Check what turns away, what covers the flavour and which details remain when the tag is removed.
Use the approved samples as references during assembly. Separate flavour stacks and finished cartons, and check names and dates against a single master record. Before printing the full run, confirm the label count includes the variants and any spares you have chosen to keep.

Questions & answers
Can I offer several flavours in the same wedding design?+
Yes. Share the wedding artwork and make the flavour line easy to distinguish. Keep a count for each version during packing.
Should the wedding message replace the jam label?+
Keep accurate product identity and any applicable information with the jam. Add the wedding message in the space that remains or on a separate decorative piece.
