If the price tag on your wedding seems to be skyrocketing
and you want to find a way to cut costs~consider making
your own wedding favors. With some creativity and
craftsmanship, you will impress your wedding guests by
giving favors that reflect your personality and style.
Furthermore, making your own wedding favors can save you
money that can then be spent on flowers, food or your
honeymoon.
The tradition of having the Bride and Groom take part in
designing wedding favors has become increasingly popular.
Creating your own favors to complement your individual
tastes or interests is a unique way to personally thank
guests for sharing your special day. With beautiful
packaging such as a dainty favor box, a decorative thank
you tag or homemade label, and personalized ribbon, your
wedding favor is sure to make a lasting impression. Do-it-
yourself favors also give you the opportunity to present a
favor that showcases a hobby or special interest.
Before you begin, think about what you would like to
communicate through your wedding favors. The following are
some questions that might give you some ideas:
1. What is a quality or characteristic that defines you,
the Bride and Groom?
2. What is your favorite hobby or past time?
3. How did you meet?
4. What is an activity that you and your fianc~ enjoy
doing together?
5. What is the mood of your reception: formal dinner,
casual party, or family get-together?
6. Does your reception have a theme?
7. Will your wedding take place during a holiday like
Christmas or Thanksgiving? Does the season play a role?
Once you have decided on a message, the next step is to
design a favor that will convey your ideas. If your wedding
has a special theme, you can make your favor to fit the
theme such as heart shaped candy tins for a Valentine's
theme, or take out boxes for an Asian-inspired theme or
bird's nests for a spring wedding. Whatever you choose, the
fact that it was hand-crafted by you with your guests in
mind will guarantee success. It is wise to make the favor
as simple as possible, so it's easy to assemble. This is
especially important for large weddings.
The final step is to shop for the components~craft stores
are a great place to find innovative, creative ideas.
Online shops often offer great discount wedding favor
products based on large purchases. Once you have all the
pieces, you will be ready to transform your ideas into
fabulous, homemade favors.
Here are some ideas for cheap wedding favors:
~ Candy tins with traditional candy like Jordan almonds,
chocolate kisses or mints along with a tag, ribbon or
sticker of your wedding date
~ Favor boxes filled with goodies like homemade cookies
~ Jordan almonds tied with personalized ribbons stamped

~ Personalized CD's of the happy couple's favorite songs
~ Candles
In addition to our discount wedding favors, you can also

guests that special care was taken in planning their
seating arrangements and this will surely add to the
elegance of your special occasion.
So, if you want wedding favors that are truly unique, take
the time to develop your ideas and make your own! You'll
save money, and most importantly, the personal touch will
show your guests that you took the extra time and effort to
personally thank them for being a part of your special day.
