Wedding favors are a thoughtful remembrance of your wedding day and a nice way of saying thank you to your guests. One favor is usually given to each guest. Wedding favors are not an essential part of the reception but for some ethnic groups the wedding favour is part of the wedding tradition and some guests would be offended by not going home with a small token.
If you have a large number of invited guests the cost can soon add up if you have to purchase a large quantity of favors. One way to keep the cost down is by making inexpensive wedding favors
yourself.
Listed below you will find ideas for wedding favors that are quick and simple to make. To make these diy wedding favors enlist the help of friends and family, and these will soon be put together quickly.
Almonds in Tulle
Cut small squares of tulle 18cm x 18cm (6 inch x 6 inch).
Place five Jordan Almonds (Sugar coated almonds) in the center.
Tie a bow with a narrow ribbon add a small charm.
Champagne Glasses with Chocolates
Fill champagne glasses (you could use the plastic ones) with two or three chocolates, cover the top with tulle. Bring the tulle down to the stem of the glass and secure in place with a ribbon, decorate with a charm or silk flowers.
Netted Soaps
Purchase decorative soaps. Tie them up with tulle and ribbon.
Seed Packets with Personalized Notes
Give your guests a decorated packet of seeds with a personal note attached which could read something like this "Let love grow around you and in your heart. May the growing beauty of the enclosed flower seeds remind you of this special day, when loving friends and family gathered to celebrate, Alex and Mary's new beginning as husband and wife.
Scrolls
A scroll wedding favor can be a personal or a memorable way to celebrate your wedding day. A beautiful scroll favor at each place setting can have your personal message of thanks to your guests. You will find instructions on how to make these using your computer here.
Decorated Candles
Decorate the bottom part of 20cm (8 inch) taper candles with tufted tulle and tiny silk flowers.
Small Potted Plants
Plant small flower pots (decorated or plain) with seeds or seedlings long before your wedding. When your wedding day arrives you will have a nice colorful display that will also double up as table centerpieces.
