Make Your Own Wedding Favor Ideas

Ready made wedding favors are great time saving options. But, they can be made even more interesting to your guests if you will personalize them a little bit. Personalization can be done by either putting the individual name of your guest in each and/or leaving your imprints in each item. In this manner, you can turn a rather ordinary item into a remarkable keepsakes or experience, proudly saying that you truly “make your own wedding favor”.

Here are three of my favorite wedding favor suggestions which may absolutely trigger your bulb to light:

Recipe Cards, Stickers or Magnets Wedding Favors

Edible items are practical and thus, they are popular wedding ideas. Why not share your favorite recipe, or better, your family or grandmother’s recipe with your guests? If you have a special main dish served in your reception, you may choose this recipe. Laminate and make this recipe into a card, sticker or magnet, and attach them to your edible favor. It will be a terrific idea for guests who love to cook and try out the sampler at your reception. She or he will remember your wedding every time such meal is tried out at home.

Fortune Plants Wedding Favor

Fortune plants are also known as good luck plants. Everyone would like to be lucky in life, whether one believes in luck or not. Weddings connote good luck for the newly weds. Everyone who comes would like to wish them well and the couple would really be thankful for the good wishes. Thus, the newlyweds say “thank you” in a very special way thru the wedding favor. Buy miniature good luck plants. Notice that they are colored green which symbolizes the freshness of life for the couple. Attach a note which says “Thank you for sharing these special moments with us and for this, we wish you also good luck.”

Sea Shells Wedding Favor

If you are having a beach reception, relatively large but beautiful sea shells with your nuptial details hand painted in them and thank you note attached to each will be most appropriate. Put the item in a transparent tiny box and tie a ribbon around them, preferably adopting your theme color, of course, and you now have a beach wedding favor ready to go. Small seashells can also be put together in a heart shaped tiny jewelry box or picture frame where you can put your photo as a couple.

Now, more creative ideas may be oozing in . . . whatever that is that you may decide to adopt, just remember that it is the thought that counts. Yet, whether you like it or not . . . your guests almost always are expecting wedding favors before they leave the table. Give them your best shot ... make your own wedding favor ideas ... and your special day will be remembered very well.

Have a fantastic day!
