Assemble Your Own Creative Wedding Favors
Now that you’re engaged, you get to plan a perfect wedding. Save money at your reception by forming personalized and creative wedding favors. It is simple and fun, and the guests will enjoy receiving interesting and original gifts handmade by the wedding couple.
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 your guests know you to be a gourmet cook, consider making food favors. Jams, preserves, spreads or salsas can be made way in advance and are easy to can. Assemble the ingredients, canning supplies, labels, and ribbons and your task will be done in no time. Guests will remember your wedding day every time they take a bite.
Another original idea for take away gifts is a small selection of tea bags arranged in beautiful teacups. Buy tea bags in bulk, and look for brands with pretty individual wrappers. Round up your bridesmaids for a fun day of shopping at thrift stores for old teacups in different pretty patterns. Teacups can often be found for less than a dollar each! Attach little handmade labels with pretty ribbon and you have a lovely and useful favor.
For nature lovers, create something green and beautiful. Wildflower seed packets are a great gift that will last a long time. Make sachets out or inexpensive material and tied with twine or ribbon.
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.
With imagination, a little money, and a bit of work you can make wonderfully creative wedding favors. Your guests will treasure these take away keepsakes. Select a type of favor that has meaning to you and making them will be a fun activity rather than a chore on your wedding to-do list. Good luck!
