Bamboo Eco-Wedding Ideas: Bamboo Favors


How green is bamboo? In searching for bamboo wedding favors that are eco-friendly, I came across and interesting dilemma. Most are bamboo gifts are imported. How green is bamboo that is imported from out of state or even country? Bamboo is very versitile and often can be grown in locally. Why buy online from when you can grow or buy it locally?


If you have time and a couple friends you may consider creating DIY or Do it yourself,bamboo wedding favors for your guests. However....although you can get as fancy as you'd like with it with ribbons, glue guns & decorative additions....a simple glass etching of the bride and groom's names with wedding date etched into a votive holder would be very classy, eco-friendly and memorable. Glass etching, instructions and votive holders can all be found at your local craft store. Find bamboo at your local nursery. Check your cell phone for a couple friends. :)

If you are planning a bamboo themed wedding consider giving your guests a biodegradable, loose tea Osmanthus flower & oolong tea leaves in a bamboo favor container. Your guests will love this

Another tip for a bamboo themed wedding are
bamboo placecard holders Interestingly though, these placecard holder are actually made from wood. Maybe some dried or live bamboo could give the same effect?


Bamboo is said to be filled with positive energy, or chi. By choosing bamboo, a symbolic gift said to bring good luck, you communicate to your guest the good wishes and gratitude you want want to share.
