It used to be that wedding guests would collect a party napkin or a few candies to remember the special day. Now, brides and grooms are turning to more personalized and elaborate favors as a way of placing a signature on their day.
Handmade wedding favors are a thoughtful way to show how much you appreciate your wedding attendees. You don’t need to be supercrafty to make these simple and fun creations.
Fore Ever golf set: Fill a small box with green paper, colorful golf balls and a few tees. Top the box with a monogrammed label that reads “Fore Ever.”
Personalized cookies and recipe card: Share a recipe with guests by packing the baked cookies with the recipe card.
Seashell candles: Fill seashells with microwavable candle wax and mini-wicks to create beach-themed favors. Wrap with a piece of tulle and tie with a ribbon.
Lucky in love: Wrap lottery tickets and attach a tag that reads “Lucky in Love.”
Bottled: Soak the labels off hot-sauce, jam or honey containers, or small bottles of wine or other regional food items. Add your own label using inkjet-printable sticker paper.
Hot cocoa: Make a large batch of instant hot cocoa. Fill small, sealable plastic bags with the mix and place in sheer drawstring bags with instructions.
