It’s no secret we’re a sucker for the details. The little moments that give a wedding personality and style just like this custom iced tea bar from our friends at Teavana. It’s a super easy way to make your guests feel special – without blowing the budget – and we’re breaking down the steps to make it your own. Pssst: FREE printables, two DIYs and one amazing giveaway are just a scroll away!

In honor of National Iced Tea month (yeah – that’s a thing!) we set out to create a beverage table with a summery tablecloth lined with Teavana’s brand new iced blends for summer: Raspberry Limeade, Tomato Lime Cocktail, and a returning favorite, Blackberry Mojito. They’re as pretty as they are delicious, and the perfect way to kick your drink station up a notch.

Once you’ve set drink table, it’s time to have some fun! Let your guests sweeten their tea with a choice of Teava na honeys or rock sugar stirrers for a custom experience as unique as you two. Don’t forget to include your custom blend of loose leaf tea (think 1 part his and 1 part hers) that guests can scoop into illustrated “the perfect blend” DIY muslin bags for a favor they’ll love.

Tape each template to the inside of each beverage jar and trace each letter with the large paint marker. Use the medium paint marker to refine each letter and soften edges. Use a Qtip and Windex to remove any mistakes as you go (or paper towels to remove whole chunks). Remove the template and fill with Teavana iced tea! After the party, just use Windex to remove the labels.

Cut out each label with scissors, getting rid of as much excess transfer paper as possible. Press label face down on the center of the muslin bag. Turn off the steam on your iron and press the hot iron on the label for 30 seconds without moving. Remove iron and let label cool, then peel off the paper backing. Repeat to make as many favor bags as needed!
