Knowing how to make your own wedding favors can add originality to your wedding and allow you to have a fantastic wedding reception on a budget. Check out some of these ideas.
Wedding favors are one of the more interesting aspects of planning a wedding but often left a little late in the preparations. Luckily, you will almost be spoilt for choice about how to make your own wedding favors, so you won’t have to worry too much about having a problem deciding what to go for. There is no longer any need to get stressed about what favors you intend to use with the large range it should make your decision easier and take less time.
Flowers are always a favorite easy wedding favor and also so simple to arrange and then set up on the day. The big plus with this option is the ease and speed with which flowers can be organized.
You might consider giving your guests a single red rose as a favor and this is extremely appropriate because a rose is a symbol of love plus roses do not need to be wrapped. Placing the rose on the wedding reception table where the guest are seated is a nice touch and doesn’t need to be done until the last minute.
If flowers do not appeal to you then why not give candy a try as an easy wedding favor because it is always popular even if not as original as you would like it to be. Some people now use a more convenient way to present candy to their guests. This just needs a large quantity of various candies placed in a large bowl on the middle of the table.
Supplying each wedding guest with a small tin or other presentation container so they can fill it with whatever candy they wish. Of course this means that you won’t have to wrap anything yourself but it should get the thumbs up from everyone.
An alternative to using candy is a picture frame which can double up as a place holder just for the occasion. Where possible, try to find a way around wrapping wedding favors, especially the likes of picture frames which could take a considerable amount of time, not to mention the cost. Almost all receptions have place names at the tables for the guests so this is an ideal way to present the frame without the need to spend time and more money on wrapping paper which will only be discarded.
For those of you that like an easy wedding favor that is a little different then why not use a local photographer, you can have each guest pose for a shot which can be presented to them at the wedding reception. So to make sure each guest leaves with their photo, the photographer could take along a fast digital printer then they could be printed out whilst the guests are enjoying the reception. This is a way for everyone to have a wedding favor that will remind them of how good they looked on the day. Many professional photographers have purchased small digital projectors so there is no reason why you couldn’t request one at the reception and this way your guests could see the images that had been taken during the day.
As you can see, knowing how to make your own wedding favors doesn’t need to be difficult. Plus it will help with the budget and give your wedding a touch of originality!
