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.
An interesting mix of tea bags arranged in vintage teacups can make a beautiful and elegant favor. Gather the bridesmaids and head to a few thrift shops to look for old teacups in various patterns. Many second hand shops sell individual cups for mere cents! Arrange tea bags inside and attach cute labels to the handle and you will have a pretty and practical gift.
For outdoorsy couples, make favors that are environmentally friendly. Using inexpensive or recycled fabric, such as burlap, you can make flower seed packets for guests to plant in their gardens. Seed blends of a single flower type or a wildflower mix are both good choices.
Alternatives to seed packets are small pots filled with bulbs or annual flowers. Use paint or ribbon to adorn the pots. Purchase six packs of annuals or bags of bulbs at a local nursery; gardening couples will enjoy making these favors!
Creative wedding favors are easy to prepare and fun to make. Your guests will really enjoy these gifts and remember your day with them. If you show your personality and interests through the type of favor you select, assembling them will be fun rather than “work.” Enjoy!
