Wedding Crafts - Homemade Wedding Favors

!: Wedding Crafts - Homemade Wedding Favors

One great way to add uniqueness to a wedding is to involve homemade wedding crafts. There are several areas of the wedding where you can use your creativity and skill to handcraft things. Probably the most famous to handcraft are the favors. Wedding favors are little gifts for the guests. Giving them away is one way for you to thank your friends and loved ones for attending the most special day of your life.

It is always worth planning in advance about the wedding favors to give out. Your budget, time, and number of guests are the major factors when it comes to your wedding favors. Depending on your available fund, you can buy or make your own souvenirs.

If you wish to handcraft your wedding favors, you have to start working way in advance especially if you are expecting hundreds of guests. A traditional wedding favor that you can easily make is a small favor box that is made up of sweets. Or you may fill it with chocolate or some rose petals. Sweets, petals, and even confetti are available in cheap prices if you cannot make them yourself.

Another wedding favor that you can handcraft is a seed packet wedding favor. Seed packets are now in trend. These are very easy to make yourself and you can get as creative as you want on these favors. You can shop around for special paper that is perfect for this project, such as pressed flower paper or clear glassine envelopes.

If you are opting for more fun favors to make yourself, why not consider wedding crackers? These are such fun to make where your family can get involved in. You may now start saving your toilet roll tubes for this project that will sure to amaze your guests. You can fill your very own crackers with chocolates, candies, seeds, confetti, flower petals or just about anything that you would want to fill in.

Personalized wedding CD's are also a great option to make at home. You can buy blank CD's at a very cheap price. Your personalized CD favors make classic and popular gifts for your guests. Simply compile a collection of your favorite songs or your wedding theme songs, or a combination of both. When choosing songs for your CD favors, choose an appropriate mixture that everyone will enjoy listening. Make your CD wedding favors more personalized by designing the covers with your sweet photo, the date of your wedding, and a romantic quote or poem.

When it comes to unique favors, one great suggestion is to handcraft them. If you don't have time to create them all, you can purchase cheap wedding favors in bulk and then wrap or package them yourself. That way, you can still add your own personal touch on each favor. If your wedding has a theme, make sure that you choice of favor reflects theme you have chosen. Don't forget to prepare something for the kids if the main wedding favors you have prepared don't fit their age. You can provide them bags of goodies, which they would surely appreciate.

What Is A Destination Wedding Favor?

!: What Is A Destination Wedding Favor?

Have you heard of destination wedding favors? I haven't either, so, I have taken it upon myself to pioneer this phrase. Destination weddings, destination wedding dresses, and now, "destination wedding favors". I like it!

So what is a destination wedding favor? Something affordable, something practical, something memorable, but something "packable".

Let's face it...you will be travelling. The last thing you need to worry about is the safe keeping of your wedding favors. You need favors that are not perishable, breakable or bulky. Something that you can easily slip into your luggage knowing that it will "make the trip" safely.

Candles and candy may melt, glass can break and larger items just take up too much space in the suitcase!

So what is a destination bride to do?

Here are a few ideas for the perfect "destination wedding favor"...

Silver plated luggage tags shaped like airplanes and cruise ships. What could be more perfect for your destination wedding guests? A "scratch and win" lottery ticket tucked inside a pretty glassine envelope is a fun idea. Wedding CD's are becoming very popular. Make your own. Include your wedding song, a favorite photo or two and a personal "thank you" on your disc. Make personalized bookmarkers. Design them to include a photo, your wedding date and a thank you note signed by the two of you. Once you are happy with the design, duplicate it, laminate it and dress it up with a tassle or an organza bow. You could use the same idea to create refridgerator magnets. Palm or paper folding fans make lovely favors that can be easily decorated to match any theme. Personalized pens, pencils or playing cards are something your guests can use. Flower seed favors are a happy reminder of your cherished day when planted. Paperweights are an attractive, useful memento.

Here is the perfect destination wedding favor - "Mini Books". These exquisite little books come in a variety of topics from wine tasting to humor. Bound in hardcover and customized by you, these tiny collectables make a very elegant gift that your guests will treasure. Compact, unbreakable and perfectly "packable"! You can find them at FavorsandFlowers.com.

Whether you buy your wedding favors or make them, you don't have to spend a fortune. They are an expression of your thanks to your guests for having shared your special day with you. Your guests will value the sentiment of your gift, not the cost.

I will leave you with one last thought...

Although giving wedding favors is a nice gesture, it is not a necessity!

If you find yourself needing to cut corners to stay within your budget, this is definitely a practice that could be overlooked without guilt. Few will even notice the absence of wedding favors!

Consider this...

Have you ever helped someone to clean up after a wedding? If you have, you will know that after and evening of wedding festivities, many guests do not even remember to take their wedding favor home with them!
