There’s something particularly lovely about diy (do it yourself) wedding favors. Not only are you saying “thank you for coming” to your guests, but you’re also showing that you’re willing to put in the time and effort that is necessary to make wonderful favors from scratch! It’s also a fairly inexpensive option that allows brides and grooms to add their own special touch to their wedding favors. What a wonderful thing to send home with your guests!
Have you decided that you would like to give out favors you’ve made yourself – but are not sure where to begin? First, you need to come up with an idea! Make sure that it is something that you can realistically pull off – you don’t want to spend a fortune on supplies only to find out that you’re not so hot with a glue gun, after all! Don’t be afraid to enlist help – ask talented friends and family members to assist in the production. If you’re particular about the way you want your favors to look, be sure to make a main sample that serve as a guide for your helpers!

Edible Wedding Favors
Cookies and jams and truffles, oh my! The one rule of thumb when you’re cooking up a storm for your guests is to make something that you know will turn out fabulous.
You might also want to be careful about including nuts in the mix – the guest list could include someone who is allergic!
Include your recipe and a sweet note to make your edible wedding favor extra special!
Plant Wedding Favors
Seed packages are rising in popularity as wedding favors, and it’s easy to see why! Seeds are symbolic, inexpensive, and can be turned into festive little packages with a bit of a crafty touch! Herbs are a fabulous gift that keeps on giving – why not plant two or three into small pots to create unique herb gardens that your guests can enjoy for months or even years to come? Flowers, baby trees, and houseplants are all green gift ideas that you can do up yourself into fancy favors.
Bath & Soap Wedding Favors
Scented oils, scrubs, and soaps are surprisingly easy to make! Read up on techniques and then get to work bottling unique creations. Don’t forget to include directions for use! Who knows? Maybe you’ll stumble upon a new hobby!
DIY Wedding Favor Packaging
With a bit of work, you can create your very own customized wedding favor packaging. Using stamps and stencils, you can personalize plain white or brown paper to make it unique and monogrammed. You can fold your own boxes or create your own little bags. Buy your wedding favors in bulk, and then get to work presenting them in a stunning fashion that ties your entire wedding together!
Creating your own wedding favors adds a charming, warm element to your wedding day. Whether you make your favors completely from scratch, or buy the favors in bulk and then create the packaging yourself, creating your own favors will be a fun project that you can enjoy with loved ones – while adding a personal element to your wedding (and likely saving a fair bit of change!).
