Married to Mason Jars

Well, I'm pretty obsessed with wedding stuff. Being in a 5-year long relationship, you get to that point (admittedly, I was obsessed with wedding stuff for as far back as I can recall). But, I plan on incorporating mason jars into the wedding I have one day...favors (candies in the jar with the guest's name and table number on a card), signature drink, decor...I bookmarked this website that pretty much shows exactly what I'd do with them.

OMG.. JENNIFER!!!.. THOSE MASON JAR DRINKS ARE AMAAAAAZZZZING!!!!.. what an adorable idea.. classy and different!!!!..   looks like your weddings gona be fab!!!!!! . . XOXO

I started canning last year and love my mason jars!!  I love coming up with recipes to can, and then make home made lables with cardstock (and I have used the twine too!) and give them as gifts all year long.  I have to say that my shelf with full jars looks really cool too!!!  I also use my jars for storage for things like flax seed, baking supplies and they also work well for candy jars etc.  It gives the kitchen a great feel!!  Btw, love the picture above using them as candle holders!!!  I am going to have to try that.  A great source for jars are yard sales!  Also, the Ball web site has coupons and you can order cases on line!

I'm using mason jars in my wedding. They are going to be for my center pieces with gerber daisies and i hand tied ribbons around the mouth of the jar in the same ribbon we used on our invites. We are also using smaller ones for our candles we are putting sand in the bottom and putting tea lights on top of the sand. And as well using them as pen holders at our guest book signing table. I love them because they are so versitile, inexpensive and we can use them after the wedding as well.

Jennifer the drink idea is really cute!

Best place to find mason jars? Goodwill.  Tons of them always there and they are cheap!  UPCYCLE!

I use jars for my drinking glasses!! Only they are not exactly Mason Jars as we know them...Similar to a Mason jar is the jars that Classico brand pasta sauce comes in...yes...I eat a lot of pasta...so now I have a full serving set for 12 of the large ones (26oz) & 12 of the small ones (16oz) (The Alfredo sauce is the only one that they make in the small jars)!!  Nothing better than drinking ice cold lemonade with tons of ice on a hot summer day out of a jar!

Just made mason jars into terrariums yesterday at my weekly craft night: http://thecraftcaravan.blogspot.com/2011/06/terrarium-tutorial.html. Super fun. Also, one Christmas, I layered cookie ingredients in a mason jar and included the recipe on a little tag to give to my friend. I dropped the jar in her drive way on the way to deliver it--and it smashed into a million tiny pieces--but it looked ADORABLE before that. ; )

i had a surprise 60th birthday party for my mom in november. i had mason jars with white beans inside and fall flowers as the centerpieces. really pretty..some of the guests asked to take them home. and now i have them around my house... =)

i use mason jars for holiday gifts every year.  so far i've given away soup mixes and cookie mixes.  we also use jars for sweet tea here in the south!

Hmmm I use them for pencils, markers, paintbrushes, tools etc. on my desk but I feel the urge to clean some out and do way more clever things with them now.  Thank You. 

We always drank out of jelly jars as a kid I think I may do this as well for my own.  The plastic cups make me crazy!

Tori~
