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.
Give your guests the gift of music. Buy a pack of blank CDs and burn your favorite songs on to them. Add your own labels and you’re done! Remember to start the set list with the song from your first dance.
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 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!
