Assemble Your Own Creative Wedding Favors
Leave your guests with creative wedding favors and they will always remember your special day. If you need to save money while panning your wedding, consider making homemade favors. It is fun and will show your guests something interesting about you.
Consider making music CDs as favors. A box of blank CDs is inexpensive and labels are easy to make. Create a song list of your favorite tunes and transfer them on to the CDs. Be sure to include your first dance in the mix!
If friends know you as a “Foodie” give them a gift from your kitchen. Make a large batch of jam, preserves, herb infused olive oil, or salsa and can small portions into jars. Use labels and ribbons to decorate the jars. Guests will be sure to use the gift and remember your wedding with each yummy bite.
Try a tea themed favor. Shop thrift stores with your bridesmaids to find an eclectic mix of old teacups. Old cups in pretty patterns are surprisingly very cheap! Fill the cups with an interesting selection of tea bags and tie a pretty label on to the cup handle. These will make elegant and unique gifts.
For the garden loving couple, make favors that can be planted. Make a little bag of fabric that contains flower seeds. Tie the bag together with ribbon or twine and make a label with planting directions.
Another option for garden-themed favors is a small pot of flowers or bulbs. Adorn small pots with ribbon or use wedding color paints to decorate. Fill the pots with a flowering bulb or a small plant from a six pack of annuals.
Creative wedding favors are fun to make and only require a little money and some imagination. Personalized keepsakes will mean so much to your guests. As long as it means something to you, the favors will be a fun task instead of another hassle of wedding planning. Have fun!
