Wedding Breeze

There are many benefits to making your own DIY wedding party favors. First, each one will be a personalized wedding favor your guests won’t be able to find anywhere else. Each gift will be unique, with your own time and care put into it. There is nothing more touching than a handmade gift! Secondly, you will also find that you can save a ton of money in merchandise costs and shipping by doing it yourself. Lastly, you will be able to involve family and friends who may be eager to help you out in some way, which can create a fun activity for all involved. Just think of how impressed your guests will be when they realize you handmade all of the items yourself!

Edible party favors are wonderful because you can be sure no one will forget their favor at the end of the night! These tasty treats rarely make it out of the room, yet fulfill a vital purpose of feeding people as they’re waiting for their meals. You needn’t be a stellar baker to pull off delicious edible wedding favors. Consider the following edible favor ideas. There are homemade chocolates, chocolate-covered nuts, chocolate-covered pretzels, homemade candy bars, chocolate spoons to accompany cocoa or coffee, fudge, taffy, hard candy, personalized cookies, homemade jam/jelly/preserves, jars of herb-filled olive oil, custom dry soup mixes, dried fruit and nut mixes or cookies.

Practical wedding party favors are often as clever as they are useful. Today many eco-friendly couples are making their own seed packets to inspire their guests to plant their own gardens; these seeds can be housed in boxes, packets, buckets, tulle, satin pouches, tiny bags or mini-pots.

According to your friends at The Knot Magazine, “making your own wedding cake is a not-so-good idea” but “making your own wedding favors can be a very generous gesture to show your guests just how much you appreciate them.” They say the key to pulling off homemade wedding party favors is to personalize your packaging, set aside plenty of time (at least a month or a week if they’re edible) and enlist friends to help.
